nice one. Rest in Peace, master!

good vibes, not only for Halloween

nice chart!

The guitar tone was clipping for me a bit. Might be my Eb Std Schecter LP has too aggressive HB for that one...

what a song! so much energy. great to play

even more fun on 2nd try

way better

@Vodka yup here you go : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gkA1aP9MfHYwik7hi7pN4Ul0-P2_LIjf/view?usp=sharing

and i guess that´s a bit how it should be played. happy with that, sounded good.

alt lead

Ok, the Korn track has me signed up in the Beginner Lead category. Love the cover and didn't know there was a CDLC for it.

Nice work! I was looking at previous week cause I rememberd seeing your name, Looks like technically you should've been 2nd place beginner bass but weren't cause someone put you in freebird.

I have now placed you in beginner Lead and Bass. (Make sure to put some rhythm scores aswell so I can place you somewhere)



So good news and bad news @ModestMonk .
Bad news is you got overtaken by daijoubu last week.
Good news is you have a nice friendly rival now :)

Not a problem, I'm happy to have more competition especially on the lower half of the skill tree.

Just to be clear though

No worries! I was doing freebird to see how things worked and had never used Score Attack before. Fumbling through Learn a song on dynamic difficulty is not the same as committing to 100% difficulty and 100% speed in score attack.

Super intimidating on some of the harder songs. I just played in learn a song a few times until I could make it through score attack, some of the harder songs only got played on las but thats okay

Ah ok, I was only looking at the table and scores on react so I didnt see the comment you had posted /remember / what @ModestMonk pointed out, my bad. I can revert you back to freebird if you'd prefer that, just saw that you were second place in beginner (thought first for a second) so I placed you there, but its a fast easy switch so lemme know/don't worry.

Playing Las is perfectly fine and i do suggest the first runs there before score attack just to avoid getting X out (rr sections if needed). Just remember to turn overide to max on in settings if you do post a LAS score so if you make mistakes it doesnt lower dd on you mid track.

I quite like this bass chart by @Mikson. But would prefer to turn up the bass volume quite a bit beyond what I could get using the RS Mixer. I'm not up on all the RS Toolkit technology though.

I might have set the bass a bit quieter, since the guitars are more foreground in the song, and I wanted to maintain the original balance.

Anyway, I’ve generated a version for you with the bass turned up - that should be enough, but let me know what you think. I’ll remove it later.

I tend to start on Easy on Score Attack to get a feel of the song, and work my way up through Medium and Hard.
