@Mikson for that part of the "Atreyu - Right Side of the Bed" solo: hold the previous 12G bend and tap 15G pull-off to the prebend 12G, tap 17G and pull-off to the prebend 12G, etc. (hold the bend on 12G with finger 3 and tap with picking hand). Hope that helps. 👍

Looks like she has placed you there. Congrats on the score and welcome to advanced/championship! 🥳

Rhythm

3

3.5

4/4.5

Here, basically only power chords, most of them are played with one finger in Drop D tuning. More like 3/3.5 than 4.

This also seemed a bit too easy for a 5. More like a 4.5.

6.5

8

Lead (8) album runs are just crazy experience

Bass (8.5)

This is so much fun to play for a song where I can't even score 90%....
