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.

That's all because imma dumb. I have added all of them as a bonus tracks. I'm sorry.

But please could you add Hallas song as the main song in Lead path instead of the bonus? 🙏 (and lower Rhythm a bit, as it's easier than Lead). I already mentioned last week how I dislike good songs being used as bonus songs. Actually, the Billy Talent song is unnecessary here, as the rest of the Lead selection is consistent in terms of ratings.

wow, @Mikson bossing people around, things have changed around here while I was gone....

🤣🤣🤣

Hi,

First of maybe a lot of other tries....

It's just that in the old days of the championship, everything was well-organized. Now these new hosts do whatever they want, so I constantly have to point it out to them 🤣

Or maybe I'm just too old for this and something new has come 😂

Was it really that well organized? ;) If I'm ever destined to start a week in the future, don't count on song descriptions or artist bios. First post in the thread is gonna be a bullet list of things that went wrong. 🤣🤣🤣

Anyways, congrats on the promotion. Be gentle to the newbies ;)

@Mikson woke up and chose violence 🤣😂🤣

Violated? No way

Thanks for hosting @Vodka

All great songs, but I'm really liking the Bass Masterclass ones 😅

Thanks for hosting this week @Vodka ! My results are mixed with testing tries (and still low 🤣).

Tenacious D - ...Baby One More Time

Bullet For My Valentine - The End

Metallica - Ronnie

Hällas - The Astral Seer

Def Leppard - All Time High

Chris Squire - Hold Out Your Hand/You By My Side

Was I too Late

Thanks for the week @Vodka!

Checked up on my setup and enjoying the feeling of new strings today 😊

Great beginner song I think

Not familiar with this sorcery

this one is definitely 3.5 or even 4... (definitely not 2 anyway)...

Bass Path:
Beginner: Tenacious D - ...Baby One More Time (2)

thx @Vodka

Love that Britney song, love the D, even Kunk Fu P is cool

(2.5)

Thanks for the week @Vodka And thanks for making changes, it makes the selection look better 😄

Oh something new from Tenacious D, I didn't even know. I don't like the song, but chart is nice and this is a good difficult one for beginners (3).

This is good! Interesting mood swings in this song. 4.5 is probably ok.

Hmm, there is no more difficult solo here, but there are a lot of technical notes like slides on dubble stops that are difficult to recognized in Rocksmith. 6.5/7.

I love Hallas, especially this album! This might actually deserve an 8, the riffs are very fast and solo isn't very difficult but it's still a challenge.

and a hun on the rhythm
