Don't have a 5 string bass, there's not that many songs that do require all the 5 strings. It just wasnt recognizing most of the notes I played for some reason but i was already 15 mins when i noticed so I just kept going. I can confidently say i 100% the voice of the soul song though 😎.

My First week was 493 (Apr 1, 2023) and @Mikson featured this song in week 497... I was still a newbie Intermediate guitar player struggling with songs rated 5, I remember!! (Thanks again @drand for making all this past data very visible and easy to find!!)

This was the score for this song at that time, and I remember that this looked like the unreachable big leagues for me!! 🤣

I remember I spent like one year in intermediate guitar thinking that I would NEVER reach advanced... so I am very happy with my personal improvement, thanks to the Championshipt!! ✌🤩

Cheers!! 🍻Salud!!!🍻 Kampai (toast in japanese)!!!🍻

WARNING!!!

In my post above as you see I added an old scoreboard... but the react app though my score was LuZifeR's 97%!!!! 😅

I did manually fixed it... But the lesson is: If you post any image that has the song/artist name right and includes %/streak/score, it will automatically add it!!! 😵

Managed to improve it from the last times I played it 😅

Nice last second catch on that screenshot @shaggy_malagy 🤣 just noticed

You are locked in my friend!!! 🤯

@aNDESmASAMUNE you gave me another idea thank you! now you can see what your past scores on a repeat song are, can we defeat our greatest enemy...ourselves?!! 🤔

---

How can I forget @VegetaxGuts 😎

and big welcome back to @Satinuke! Enjoyed our battles back in the day, pushed me to be better!!

---

(4.5) and went from 95% to a 97% oh yeah 😎

---

(6)

---

(8) great score @ALSRC!!

---

(7.5)

---

Thought this was maybe like an (8.5) not (10) is it cause of the length or did i go into a trance? 😂

omg did i play the wrong arrangement here i am dead 💀

---

Too bad @Mikson can't make it this week he could have gotten many of our new Harder Better Faster Stronger medal for defeating his old scores! 😄

WOW you are amazing!!! It is already implemented!!!

Thank you!!! 😍

Final song to round out the week, (6.5) in terms of difficulty. I am kicking myself though, I forget to grab a screenshot on my first playthrough today. Even though I love this classic, some gin thankfully helped me power through the second time:

Went in for the 100% for this as well, that riff is just so fun!

Small improvement here, if I really lock in I should be able to get the 100% if the one slide in the middle cooperates:

Some of the ratings like this one was based off previous weeks. I agree 10 is too high as only some songs are difficult but the rest can boost your percentage up quite a bit (ignore my score though 🤣).

My guess is that they rated that because its an album / length. But all album cdlcs are gonna be long, so im not sure if length should matter especially since you are give 4 weeks to practice.

At any rate, it will be interesting to see what people rate it on your website at the end of the week if they play it.

I was gonna say rats, you spoiled my plans on getting 3rd place (cause i know jobwan will play it) with only 74% but then i did notice it is just the d standard path


To count it or not, that is the question. I also wonder if the green notes still count in that path since they are just lazer beams or if its an automatic miss. Good job on your first playthrough though!

Ah, i forgot he just randomly goes to the 3rd fret in the end instead of keeping the riff on 8 like he does for all of the song. Got scared and goofed up but if i had ignored the screen it wouldve counted since its the same note. Will try again🤞.

hmm odd i also noticed nomgoose has a higher note streak than i do on money not sure how thats possible since we both 100% it. i guess i might have to download rocksniffer to see if i played the wrong one. since 30 notes is quite a bit.

Played it how it's tabbed although dell is a troll for switching it randomly at the end xD

I went and double checked, I was still on the 4.0 version. WHOOPSIE! I'll redo that track to get a proper score lmao.

Oh interesting, I'm surprised he took that many notes off then? maybe he nullified any slides.
Still congrats on all the recent 100%s extremely impressive!!

Alternate Lead counts as Lead for this one if you don't have a whammy bar, right?(I'm pretty sure I don't have one, I probably would have noticed it by now...)

Yup, that's right! You are now the highest person in your class :)

Here's Money with the correct chart this time! I can tell you Del took out the majority of the sustains throughout the song and a lot of the palm mutes in the guitar solo sections:

Didn't expect to get this so fast, thought I'd do just one more run tonight for fun. Just that one A string slide from fret 16 to 3 to get to cooperate and this is done as well:
