Hello everyone and have a nice 645th musweek!

There’s nothing thematic this week. Just a few songs.

First of all, beard cover to Britney Spears from Tenacious D. This one was made for Kung Fu Panda 4 movie (aren’t watched it yet). The cover is simple and fun to play imho.

Next song from one of my favorite bands – Bullet For My Valentine. “The Poison” is one of my beloved albums. 14 days ago it was February 14th - St. Valentine’s day. And today is the end of winter. And the song is called “The end”. Nothing symbolic here. I just wanted this one :D

Not a day without Metallica. The wheel of fortune chose Ronnie. The song is solid 7. With sad story behind.

This song has no lives so here’s “live” from @Chainbrain .

Def Leppard - All Time High. From 2015. Is anyone noticed it was 11 years ago?.. Bass only song. But still fun.

I have nothing to say about the other songs. Just hope you’ll like them. One of the MC song was made by @Mikson btw.

Oh, I didn't even know that the CDLC of the Hallas song I created was suggested for the championship, thanks @drand

But @Vodka, are you saying you only used Rhythm and threw Lead and Bass in the trash? Why are you trolling me like this? 😭🤣

I know that it is always the hardest to match Masterclass Rhythm to the selection. But there are a few better options than only selecting Rhythm from a song that has all playable paths. You can either use the same song for Adv and MC if it's relatively difficult (7 is ok for both). You can also select Rhythm path from a song played in the past (Songs Played spreadsheet) . And in the past, if we didn't use a path, we added it to the SSL - Spare Arrangements spreadsheet so we could go back to it in the future.

Edit. And since I created this CDLC myself, I remember it well and have no idea why Rhythm path was rated higher than Lead, where Lead is clearly more difficult due to the solo and more difficult riffs. It's more of a Lead 7.5/8, Rhythm 6.5/7, and Bass similar to Rhythm.
