    This bassline is already engraved in my muscle memory but I never played it on Rocksmith before, way too fun.

    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

    Forgot how fun this was since playing it last, I need to hear more Coheed badly.

    Left pinky started locking up T_T, playing with my thumb and index on my plucking hand worked wonders though.

    You can never go wrong with Jamiroquai.

    Oh man, Do I wanna Know, is one of my favorite song from high school,
    Its really nice to play it!
    Had to practice a few days because of the speed, but I'm getting the hang of it.
    The lead is particularly brutal with all the sliding.

    Hadn't heard either of these for a long time. They both certainly deserve their legendary reputations. Such a pleasure to hear and play... although not very well on the King Crimson in my case...

    one of my most prefered songs to play. Long live the D!

    Ok so after testing all 3 and looking at my scores I guess I pulled off another week 667 bymistake ( linked the wrong chart for foolin defleppard , was supposed to be sinmods not the one that was linked that week)

    This one was the one I played cause I remember it not having lyrics, had hard to read arpeggios and its fripnomonics
    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

    it looked like this: (but the hard part to read was closer to the intro )

    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

    The one that was inserted in the championship was bhmath and I guess I hadnt played this one.
    It has lyrics, and looks a bit cleaner on guitar imo. Kinda surprised this one is abandoned unless someone secretly adopted it during the week and the name hasnt updated yet?



    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

    Playing lead side by side, I might perfer this version. Addicted to lyrics and handshapes so I am biased. Even though it wasn't the tested chart, it turned out to be a happy little accident—at least for lead.

    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett


    this one is the most recent by sondow97 (but wasnt picked): It's pretty bad tonewise, note wise think the others seemed slightly better, so its the weaker link imo even if its newer.

    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

    That being said all charts are pretty similar so I will make sure to count the % for all of them.
    Also i am curious what version other people like so let me know if you test them
