🫵 First time? You can join by replying below with your screenshot image links! Screenshots must include accuracy % and streak to be counted 🔍🤔 How to use the Championship? Play it once or… open up the Riff Repeater at max difficulty, slow it down, and grind a few reps. Then a run or two (or three) to finish strong — % goes up, fight for that win 📈📸🏆 Consistency is the only way up, so let’s play 🔥🎸

Thank you to everyone who submitted song requests!

Silverstein — The Afterglow (2017)

A melodic‑post‑hardcore burst of energy, “The Afterglow” blends soaring choruses with tight rhythmic drive. Silverstein’s knack for emotional hooks makes this a great entry‑level chart that still feels punchy and rewarding across all paths. This one is for you @theMaelstro! 😉

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Emmy-Dell!

---

The Weeknd — Starboy (2016)

A sleek, neon‑lit pop‑electronic anthem with that signature Weeknd cool. “Starboy” leans into groove, precision, and vibe — perfect for players who enjoy clean rhythmic patterns and smooth flow.

I did not include the bass chart in the championship as I rated it a 1.5, I didn't think it would be competitive so I encourage you to play it on your own if you want to vibe 😊

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Gojima Ghost!

---

Chevelle — Young Wicked (2016)

Heavy, tense, and riff‑forward, “Young Wicked” delivers Chevelle’s trademark alt‑metal punch. The track’s grinding low‑end and tight rhythmic phrasing make it a satisfying mid‑tier challenge with plenty of weight behind every note.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @palms46!

---

Alice Cooper — It’s the Little Things (2000)

A theatrical hard‑rock romp full of attitude and character. Alice Cooper’s playful menace shines through the quirky riffs and dynamic shifts, making this a fun, expressive chart for intermediate players looking to push their phrasing and timing.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Sinomod!

---

Between the Buried and Me — Desert of Song (2009)

A haunting, atmospheric detour in BTBAM’s catalog, “Desert of Song” trades their usual technical chaos for moody textures and intricate melodic interplay. Don’t be fooled — the phrasing and subtlety here make it a deceptively challenging advanced pick.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @albatross213!

---

Olivia Dean — So Easy (To Fall In Love) (2023)

Warm, soulful, and effortlessly smooth, Olivia Dean’s “So Easy” glides with gentle rhythmic nuance and expressive vocal lines. The chart leans into feel over force, rewarding players who embrace subtle dynamics and groove.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Djpavs!

---

Phinehas — Crowns (2017)

Explosive, technical, and relentlessly intense — “Crowns” is pure metalcore fire. Phinehas pack the track with rapid‑fire riffs, tight breakdowns, and precision‑demanding transitions. A true masterclass challenge for players who want to push their limits.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @pillarsofash!

---

The Fearless Flyers — Patrol Acrobatique (2020)

A funk‑fusion showcase of ridiculous musicianship. “Patrol Acrobatique” is packed with tight grooves, slick bass lines, and rhythmic interplay that demands control and finesse. A perfect advanced‑bonus pick for players who love pocket‑driven complexity.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Djpavs!

---

Dirty Loops — Just Dance (2020)

Dirty Loops take a pop foundation and rocket it into virtuosic fusion territory. Expect wild bass runs, rhythmic trickery, and glossy harmonic twists — a masterclass chart built for players who crave technical fireworks and musical chaos.

🙏 Thanks for the chart, @Emmy-Dell!

Thanks for the week @drand ! fun stacked week and thanks for letting me test some earlier, forgot they were that many untill i was copy pasting the url lol.

really enjoyed this one, will have to practice the jazzy chords

this song chords werent detecting for me, ill try late to see if it works better with the tuning mod

@jimmy655 would you like to claim victory on Advanced Lead and accept immediate promotion?

---

Welcome to the Championship @iQu3so, I have placed you in Beginner Lead to start.

---

Welcome to the Championship @Mitcho, I have placed you in Beginner Rhythm and Beginner Bass to start.

That way you two can take the trophies and can still battle for intermediate.

If you score a 99+% on a Beginner* (rated 3-3.5) song you can choose to rank up, or if you get the top score on a higher ranked song like jimmy above, so do attempt those intermediate songs if you got it in you!
