I did a poll on discord (didnt know how to do one here unless i made a new post) and the winner was "songs that were updated in 2025". Not that many voted though tbh 🤣 hopefully more of you migrate over there someday :) So here are the songs that i choose:


All time low- There's 2 other versions of this song but recently this song got a fresh take by djpavs and i thought this version was better.
https://youtu.be/oyaCwAr5dVE?si=ieUCwszMfhMgIn0J


Mr mister- Classic song, there used to be only a bass path on the site now thanks to hik we can play all paths
https://youtu.be/nKhN1t_7PEY?si=e0dtQPdKWjc6TYjy

Nickelback- This song was actually one of the conteders i think on halloween?🤔 but since then its been updated again so i thought it was worth picking. I also choose it to give an opportunity of those in intermediate to level up to advanced, since i know some want to and since mr mister is pretty easy.

Whitesnake+winger- I thought they were good tabs from hameron. Winger might be more advanced hence lower than an 8 but i still thought it was challenging enough and had more fun with this song than poison angel.

Sophie- never heard of this song, bass was fun and its got a nice music video/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_lhBNtXwBY


Kangaroo- I personally think this song would be easier if some of the open strings were fretted like the yellow open to a 5 red but owell still a fun song to play

Hope yall enjoy this week /m/

@VegetaxGuts @argh123 Both of you guys got a fantastic score last week! Do you want to be promoted to intermediate lead?
@shotfirer You also got almost 100% last week! Do you wish to be in masterclass bass?

TBH I don't think I'm that good ;)
I haven't played any masterclass charts yet, and generally, I'm barely passing Score Attack on anything above 6.5. Ask me again in a couple of weeks :)

It is done! Welcome to intermediate Lead! 🤘

Just a reminder

The forum update broke our automatic scored being magically transferred to the leaderboard - so that has to be done by hand until it is fixed.

So firstly lets give a big THANK YOU to the ones who instantly started to hammer in scored manually, esp. @drand (it takes a lot of time, i know that very very well) - and secondly let´s hope our scoremagicmaster @avastreg will read oue msgs and find the time to fix it maybe over the holidays!

Rock and have a great week!!!

yup just wasnt home yet, i have added them all manually now :)

Thanks for all the hard work! 😲

Here are my frst results (Bass):

5 strings 😍 (even though I mess up because of the different colors 😁 )

Such a great song... 🤩

I think that some passages (in the middle and towards the end) are a bit harder (it could also be that it seems more difficult on the 5 strings and the colors of the strings change between Learn a song and Score attack 🤔 )

After some RR I got some improvements:

Wow, I won the Masterclass Rhythm for the first time in the championship, what an achievement! 🥳

*Yes, I know I won because almost no one participated, especially boss @veggs95 , and even @cacahuate51 didn't show up for his test score 😄

On the other hand, I thought I won Lead, but I just now noticed that Caca made a sneaky attack in the final minutes, oh well 🙂

There were lots of options that I want to add to the suggestion list when I have time. And didn't want to overwhelm you guys with too many songs so I tried my best to limit it.

So here are the songs that i choose:


All time low- There's 2 other versions of this song but recently this song got a fresh take by djpavs and i thought this version was better.

The youtube link for Nickelback is for How you remind me and not Burn it to the ground

Also really liking the bass line for Music gets the best of me 😁

The game doesn't like my F#m7 😢

AAAAAAH CONGRATS!!
You are finally masterclass rhythm ?!?! I felt like i had been asking you for an eternity for the promotion for so long cant believe it happened! when did this anomaly happen?! But i guess that does make sense why i hadnt asked you recently🤔 looks like it mustve been 607-609 time flies...
Also noticed there were several weeks including last week where i forgot to submit screenshots. There's just so many screenshots it gets hard to track when posting (even if i do play them/screenshot), but ill make sure to look at the leaderboard more often.

Edit: but yea @RaZrShReD and @veggs95 are on on another level compared to us for now 😅

If I remember correctly, it was week 610 where I was the best in masterclass rhythm in a Gary Moore song.

You are absolutely right! Just checked 611 week https://customsforge.com/topic/80282-rocksmith-2014-championship-week-611-community-bands-cf/
And you had been promoted! My reaction has stayed the same cause i didnt believe you'd accept then, and i still was surprised today after you reminded me 😅 Well glad you are masterclass tho :)

I liked the 611 week, was fun to test out the different bands on in our community during 610.

99.98 on my second (and a half) playthrough hell yeah
