Fixed Lead. After the repair this looks pretty good.

And Rhythm

Some chords less popular. 4/4.5.

Honestly, this was easy for me, but you need to be able to sight-read effectively, so that's my feeling. For me 4.5 max.

Cool song, I've played this a while ago. There's a short solo and an arpeggio, so 6 is fine.

7.5 ok

I think it's about participation. In fact, since joining the 2020 championship, I think I've only missed one week, when I was in Tanzania in March of this year, so the 20-week streak might be accurate.

On the other hand, why isn't @Rodman mentioned with his 666-week streak? 😅

I think you haven't missed a week in a long time either.

Actually it's only a 630 or so week-streak.

The first like 10weeks have been held before customsforge.com existed on SmithyAnvils and i joined in when i found out about the CS in about week 35. Not missed one since then, that's true.

But man! The more important thing!

6 years already, brother!!! Oh boy, huge!!! Congratulations.

Thank you for being here, thank you for being so important to keep all going well and bringing fun to all players!

Might i invite you host us a week with your personally most enjoyed CDLCs you came across in the CS to celebrate your way so far?!

Rock on!

Rod.

TOTAL WEEKS PLAYED

Congratulations @MaltaSoron on 80 weeks played!

Time flies when you're having fun 😉

Ok so here is how I checked the streaks, just participation for now gotta think about how to record wins...🤔

@Mikson yep 20 weeks since Tanzania 🐘

@Rodman I saw you commented but no scores submitted i think, got deleted?

Stats for everybody are on the spreadsheet below if you click on my signature banner might just take a while to load, plan is to only tag players when they hit multiples of 5 or 10 weeks or 1+ years so I'm not spamming aaaas many tags y'all get annoyed 🤣

Welcome to the Championship @MotivatedCF!

Bass is heating up 🔥

Final song for the month:
7 is really good here, tough rhythm the play over and over again without the occasional hiccup.

Another bonus as well:
Bass friends, please give this song a try, SUCH a great solo to start with, as well as a great riff to learn.

You surprised me with that week 608, but I checked when it was and I was in Turkey at the time, so it's very possible. So I missed two weeks after all 😅

A few years ago, there were CDLCs I often replayed, but now they're very old CDLCs and I don't really go back to them.

Lately, I rarely replay the same CDLCs multiple times, so it's hard to find a favorite.

But I think I could do a week based on the CDLCs I created 😉

There were a few moments in Devil Me where I think that Rocksmith should have said I missed but it didn’t so I'm quite thankful about that. Just a question, if i "level up" (or whatever it is called) to intermediate bass next week, can i decide to go back to beginner if I think intermediate is too difficult?

Yeah you can go back to beginner no worries 😁

yeah ghost has grown on me, i remember dreading it the first couple times they were featured in the championship but they do have some neat parts.

Now I'm waiting for the video of you shredding the solo :P

Not now, I don't know when, maybe when I create another CDLC because I rarely make charts for the masterclass difficulty level.

Obviously had to check on that - hahahaha - i really did forget to upload my pics that week, i even made the leaderboard update manually and posted it, i got all the screenshots in my lib, didn´t post. However - for me personally i count updating the leaderboard and making a post about that as passive participation - so no week missed anyway ;)

More importantly - man that was a nice journey right now back to 2017 reading those posts from our allstars let´s just name @NoonyDeloony @JokerTheAnarchist and my dear rival @MonstaS4 ...

Rock!

Rod.

Thank you for the warm welcome folks!

About the screenshot, I know I'm doing something wrong because I see other's screenshots even linked directly from Steam, but my insertion of a link only displays as a link (even though that link opens to the image ☹️). It's unlisted, everything follows the @cacahuates51 guidelines (afaict), the only thing I did was remove the extra attributes (size 500, letterbox). I was looking for an icon that would say "Insert an image", but the link looks to be it? I looked at my post and it's a <a> element there I have, instead of a <img> one, but I don't know how to get that later one. If I drag and drop the image I assume I'm using CF's storage, instead of Steam, correct?

A bit wonky tab no? No dd and the scroll speed is a bit ass. It starts interesting but gets boring somewhere near half of it on bass at least.

Yo this Elvis song? I remember I was looking for it when I was smol but couldn't find it, alongside other song by Ritchie Valens. I finally know what it was!

I used to hate Beatles with passion. Never heard this one song. Its pretty good, I enjoyed it.

The Ghost - Satanized would be so easy if this exact bass arrangement was played on guitar 😝
I tried score attack but can't play well enough to not get 3 strikes.

You can download image from your steam library and copy paste it. It will work like normal image. I think if you copy from steam it just gives you a link to your library of photos.

Thank you! Drag and drop looks to have done the trick, i've checked and what's on this page is a <img> element now, with a href to my Steam screenshot, yeah!
