Thanks for coming in clutch and hosting this week @drand with such short notice!


a bit of a chaotic week for me with having to reset my pc and other issues but luckily was able to play some songs and hope to play more the next days

This song reminded me of need for speed movie, after checking i guess it was in the game and the one in the movie was roads untraveled. Still like both of them and im always happy when linkin park is selected lol.

Solid cover, personally still like holes version more but its good to revisit old music. (and yea i agree itd be easier on the eyes atleast for me if it were handshapes not arpegios). still fun.




I remember dreading weeks with ghost a couple years ago but i think ive grown to like a couple of their tracks.

good vibes in a sad song - love that

argh!!!!! absolutely butchered the solo

I know I said last week that I would struggle to get time this week but once I saw the songs I made a point of making time to play!

Fun song to play but I think the difficulty rating might be a little low, some tricky sections in there

Completely bluffed my way through the arpeggios, to be honest it was always going to be a one and done playthrough with the first two, I had bigger fish to fry!

I've gone on and on about my love for Ghost on here before and Spillways held the title of my favourite song for a few years until they released Lachryma; safe to say I've had a bit of practice with this chart! Managed to knuckle down and get my highest percentage this week after a few run throughs but there are still a few sections in the song that destroy me such as the end of the first solo.

A few years back if I wasn't listening to Ghost I was listening to Sabaton, kind of moved away from them recently but this song and The Great War album on the whole are incredible. Highly recommend listening to the history commentary version, gives a bit more context around the songs themselves which makes them even better in my opinion.

All the best with your scores everyone!

🎶🎸🌘 CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!!!

YEEAAHHH!!! ✌😎✌🤩✌😎✌🤩

Thanks @drand for hosting the week!!!

I am always curious about the videos of each song and often search them myself, so It's great you posted all of them at the beginning.

--

I think I need more practice and catch up with my own level!!! 😅

I felt the D shape-sus4 chord changes were difficult to play for me, so I just decided to play A shape chords adding +5 frets...

I barely survived the score attack!! 😆

---

By the way, I discovered an absurdly simple way to fix my problem... when Rocksmith don't recognize my pitch shifted files, there is no way to fix them, so I just need to erase them and create new ones... that's it! 😅

Rhythm

@Emmy-Dell Thanks for creating an improved version for this!

Improvements

Thanks for adding!!

Yay, I'm glad you found the time @jimbobmccecil, some good music to rally the spirit ✊ I just bought tickets for Sabaton's tour next year, super excited!! Ghost is growing on me more and more 👻

This song is so much fun to play 😍!!

@aNDESmASAMUNE glad you got something out of my write-up! I love a good music video aaalmost as much as I love the music 🤭

Good to see you hop in @loudly!! 😊 Let's go @Argh1992!!🤘

Where you at @Vodka??

why i can't paste multiple image links at a time?

only 1st one is being parsed by the forum automation, and others are left as links...

i have to paste one by one so they show up properly :(

very fun song to play! Imo the paths are rated a bit high, Bullet for my valentine walking the demon was 6.5 and i feel like this is similar to that if not easier.


score in this one not too good cause the blue riff is a bit atypical for me. Still think it couldve been an advance song since theres no solo really and im sure with practice itd be more doable to get 100 here than trying to get the solo for ghost.

Very neat tab/fills. I do see why shortfire was complaining though, not sure why the creator didnt use the audio from the cover instead. Still fun to play but do hope they upload a version with the actual cover

I don't remember the BFMV chart anymore, but maybe you just rated it too low 😜

While you're generally right that Sabaton is a bit too high, I think it could be lowered to 7.5 @drand

Got it, I've raised The Majesty of Rock (Lead) from 3 to 3.5 and lowered Fields of Verdun (Rhythm) from 8 to 7.5. How's that sound?

P.S. As this week comes to a close, a big thanks to the Championship!! Last year, I was absolutely struggling through Castle of Glass.

I am seeing a huge difference. So many songs I have been dreaming of playing since I was a kid, blasting my favorite songs on the school bus through my little iPod nano... Now it's coming out of my amp!! Feeling grateful 🥰

yea im fine with that, I would've probably made it atleast 4 in lead since the solo isnt really hummable and is pretty fast but ig 3.5 is fine

Ill be posting new week in 2 hours! make sure to post your scores by then

Ok change of plans :P
The week will be postponed later today to around 3pm central time cause got some of the creators to update the charts by then.
I think its fair to wait and that way people can still submit scores of this week.
