Artist: Golden Earring Title: Twilight Zone Date: March 9, 2023 1:35 PM	I kinda fell off the planet for a while so I didn't see any notifications. I checked the link for windows and it worked for me.
Artist: Dokken Title: Into the Fire Date: March 18, 2017 12:46 PM	Version 2.0 with DD has been uploaded. Its been close to two years since I updated this one. Not a lot of changes to the chart as it is very solid. Tones have been improved, and I've added arpeggio definitions to the track so you can more easily follow the chord changes in the picked out parts.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Far Beyond The Sun E Standar Backtrack Date: April 13, 2016 8:37 PM	OK thanxs, i will give it a try on bass... i have just one question: It is not supposed this track should be charted on eB standard???... I published the Eb version using the actual audio a while back. This is a transposition to E Standard using VST (Virtual Instruments/Midi) so people can learn it without having to retune, I guess. Linky~ http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/far-beyond-the-sun-r5248
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Vengeance Date: April 13, 2016 8:31 PM	Sweet! Thanks for taking the time to chart some more Yngwie!
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Concerto Suite Live with Japan Philharmonic Date: April 13, 2016 8:27 PM	Wow this brings back memories. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but the first two tracks appear to have been taken from the midi files I put up on geocities all the way back around 1998 when I was an Yngwie nut. I still am, but not like I was back then. I spent hundreds of hours in midi orchestrator pro, working with the sheet music on paper, and entering it into the PC. Good times. They had a link from the official fan club site to mine until geocities was taken down by Yahoo. http://www.oocities.org/sunsetstrip/venue/4221/yngwie.html
Artist: J.S. Bach Title: Prelude Date: January 10, 2016 10:28 AM	agh i hate to be a pain in the ass but detuning from E standard to C standard is pretty extreme IMHO it is best to leave the tuning in E and transpose certain phrases up an octave I just got around to answering this. I'm a bit anal-retentive when it comes to the classics. Dropping down to a C1 is not the same as going up to a C2 for me. The piece was transcribed for the bass, note for note from the sheet music. It wasn't until after I had completed this custom that I found that someone had already done the piece, and they did exactly what you just asked for on the guitar part. I tried it out, and every time the melody went the wrong direction, my OCD brain went, "NOOOOO!"
Artist: Symphony X Title: Seven Date: January 10, 2016 10:00 AM	OK, maybe more like a week for the update. Added lyrics and fixed up the FHP on lead (across all of the solos) and on bass (especially on the tapping part). There's still some work to do on some of the rhythm parts, but I think this should be close to final for the lead. Also, @Le French Stallion - I think I saw this on your favorites list, so I hope you enjoy the update! Awesome! I've been working on learning this solo, slow and steady like. Maybe in a year or two I'll be up to 100% speed.
Artist: J.S. Bach Title: Prelude Date: January 3, 2016 1:09 PM	oh yeah especially with the run towards the end that goes up to the high G on the 24th fret lots of basses like Fender Precisions and Jazzes only have 20 frets Thank you for the feedback on this. I hadn't considered this until you pointed it out. My bass has 24 frets so originally I had tried to keep the piece in the pitch that the cello makes. See the update notes above.
Artist: Symphony X Title: Seven Date: January 2, 2016 7:10 PM	Thanks for publishing this (and many other) Symphony X tracks. I think I've still got you beat on overall run-time though, if you add up Divine Wings and Odyssey. ;-) Edit: removed the video link since you added it to the title page. Cool.
Artist: Symphony X Title: Of Sins and Shadows Date: January 2, 2016 5:04 PM	Great work on this one. I haven't tried the lead track yet but the rhythm is solid. There is a bit of the main riff noted in the game that doesn't exist in the song just before the lead-in for the first verse. Delete those and I think the rhythm is done. I'm not sure if it is just me, but the guitar tone seems to be a little hot. Perhaps its just got a lot of mid-range so it just stands out more. I ended up switching it out for the Cemetery Gates lead tone, and turned the song audio down to 45% to get a good meaty sound on this track.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Rising Force Date: September 13, 2015 7:45 PM	Here's a video I put up of me playing along with the game. Sorry no game video this time. It was just an impromptu recording that I felt was worth keeping for posterity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvYNsshbeWo
Artist: Symphony X Title: Domination Date: September 2, 2015 7:43 PM	Damn son. That was kick ass! That isn't the standard game tone is it? When I play with my bass, it sounds nothing like that. Also it sounds like your action may be too low. It rattles as you get closer to the nut... unless that's just distortion I'm hearing.
Artist: Symphony X Title: Domination Date: August 26, 2015 9:09 PM	Version 2 has been uploaded. Have at it. Let me know if anything goes "Boom!"
Artist: Symphony X Title: Domination Date: August 26, 2015 7:21 PM	Surely it couldn't be such a simple mistake to cause note recognition issues like you've described, but within 30 seconds I spotted an 'oopsie!' That hammer on is marked as a pull-off from below. This seems to be the case all the way through the song. /facepalm
Artist: Symphony X Title: Domination Date: August 26, 2015 7:08 PM	I just got home from work and am about to fire up EOF to see what the original chart looked like. I did do almost the entire song by hand, but I found a tab of the guitar solo that I imported. I doubt that'll impact the bass though. I'll let you know if I find anything. I may just try re-saving the original notes.eof and re-packaging it in the newer toolkit. Now for the eternal question: To add DD or to not add DD?
Artist: Symphony X Title: Domination Date: August 26, 2015 3:32 PM	Correction: published September 3,2014
Artist: Symphony X Title: Domination Date: August 26, 2015 3:31 PM	Danged cell phone double posts.
Artist: Symphony X Title: Domination Date: August 26, 2015 3:30 PM	This is the first report of sync issues I have seen since it was posted last Dec. I haven't observed any issues with sync but I also haven't tried the bass on this since January. I will look at it when I get home in a few hours.

Artist: Golden Earring Title: Twilight Zone Date: August 23, 2015 12:58 PM	Thanks for the feedback, vortical. Alas, I have had no luck in getting the RS Toolkit to toggle 'picked' on any custom I've done. I toggle the checkbox but it always shows up as fingered in the game. A long time ago I spent an afternoon trying to figure out why this problem occurred (updating java, reinstalling the toolkit, etc) but never did.
Artist: Joe Satriani Title: Flying in a Blue Dream Date: May 5, 2015 9:35 PM	Satch uses a pickup he developed with DiMarzio that is Super-hot for pinch harmonics. It is designed for them. It is called a "Fred" because Satch is a smart-ass, and that's the name he that popped in his head when they told him he had to name it. I've been thinking about buying one for my JS20s, which strangely came without the Fred. :-\
Artist: Joe Satriani Title: Flying in a Blue Dream Date: May 5, 2015 5:02 PM	In the play-through video at ~2:01 you'll see some insane slides going on. He does this by touching the string with his pick and sliding it back and forth between the 14th and 15th fret. The 14th fret bends that flip to 12th fret pull-offs are done by pulling up on the bar.
Artist: Symphony X Title: Accolade II Date: March 26, 2015 8:14 PM	Great playthrough, Mikael! I like how you threw a little improvisation in there during the down-time.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Hold On Date: February 9, 2015 4:29 PM	This is the third time I've been notified of a custom freezing after you get past tuning, and all of them are packages that have been working fine for several weeks or even months. I am wondering if there may have been an update to RS2014 that causes this. Those who have described this problem previously had advised me that the problem cleared by launching the game via the Steam 'play' button rather than their desktop shortcut.
Artist: Symphony X Title: The Divine Wings of Tragedy Date: February 6, 2015 6:42 AM	I double checked the package. It opens fine on all 3 charts. Are you trying bass, lead or rhythm when that happens? Hi Daikano yes I tested it trying rythm, bass and lead, When I start it stays there no more :(. I can upload a video if you want about of error. Regards I had someone contact me with the exact same problem maybe a month ago for a different custom. He later replied back stating that the problem cleared when he launched the game from Steam rather than his desktop shortcut. I don't know if this will work for you too, but it is worth a try.
Artist: Symphony X Title: The Divine Wings of Tragedy Date: February 5, 2015 5:22 PM	I double checked the package. It opens fine on all 3 charts. Are you trying bass, lead or rhythm when that happens?
Artist: Golden Earring Title: Twilight Zone Date: January 25, 2015 2:38 PM	Amazing work on this one. Really, really digging it. Lead Playthrough: http://customsforge.com/videos/view-1344-golden-earring-twilight-zone/ Nice job, Redhed! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Black Star Date: January 18, 2015 2:58 PM	bend +5? I think that would be whammy :0 I thought so too when I read through the sheet music, but I watched some videos of him playing it live (In Leningrad?) and you can see the bend strength is just insanely high.
Artist: Asia Title: Only Time Will Tell Date: January 5, 2015 3:37 PM	Thanks for taking the time to chart this one. This was one of my favorite songs in my youth!
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Hold On Date: January 5, 2015 2:43 PM	This package has been updated to version 3, and I've added links for PS3, Xbox, and Mac. See the record for details on the update.
Artist: Symphony X Title: Domination Date: December 14, 2014 6:38 PM	I hope you have a lot of patience. This song is an absolute beast. The best I can do is to slow it to 80%. Any faster than that and everything falls apart.
Artist: Dokken Title: It's Not Love Date: December 8, 2014 10:23 AM	Another great song choice. It takes me back many years. If I find time, I may just delve into my dusty old hair band catalog and do some Lynch Mob. Addicted to that rush, perhaps. (Edit: I had to reset the search function to see that the aforementioned (Mr Big) song has already been done. Wicked Sensation is still a possibility.
Artist: Dokken Title: Unchain The Night Date: December 8, 2014 10:19 AM	Great song. Did you have the song volume turned down in the mixer in the videos? It is so quiet.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Far Beyond the Sun Date: November 30, 2014 2:48 PM	Once again, Mikael, you amazed me with your playing. VERY well done!
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Rising Force Date: November 27, 2014 9:05 AM	Very nice play-through video, Mikael! You play this far better than I. It also made me realize that I never put the slides in as pitchless, as I had originally intended. I will take a look at the chart this weekend and see if I can't eliminate those marker points that make the game think you've missed a note when you actually played it.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Rising Force Date: November 18, 2014 6:52 AM	Freezes the game when I try to load. What platform are you playing on, Shawn? I can try re-packaging it for PC or XBox if needed. I know the PC version works though. If you're on PC, you may need to check for any other songs that have rising force in the title, because the package name might conflict.
Artist: Symphony X Title: Set the World on Fire Date: September 11, 2014 4:31 PM	Version 3.0 has been uploaded. As always, please let me know if you find any issues. Be advised that the bass track is HARDER than it was before, and the guitar is a little harder, but is far more accurate with respect to the original recording.
Artist: Stratovarius Title: Hunting High and Low Date: August 1, 2014 11:51 AM	Great song choice. Its good to see all three parts in a custom. It is time for me to tune to Eb again! :D
Artist: Extreme Title: He-Man Woman Hater (incl Intro) Date: June 11, 2014 12:21 PM	...what. How does anyone play this!? Awesome!The triple slap-back echo makes it sound much more complicated than it is. Don't get me wrong. It is definitely a tough song, but the clever use of the echo delay is what makes it sound like he's playing at light speed. Nuno rocks!
Artist: Dream Theater Title: The Enemy Inside Date: June 8, 2014 12:19 AM	That's awesome but i'm afraid i can't do that by myself (i mean the tabs and all that stuff)I know how to do it. I just haven't found a good (complete+accurate) tab. You don't have to do anything with the tab. If you have a good 7 string tab that can be imported into EOF, then you should be able to go through the chart in EOF, CTRL clicking (or shift clicking) every single note that is on the E string, and hit CTRL+ five times to add five frets. For chords you'd have to hit N to edit the note and manually add 5 to whatever was on the E string. Then, move every note that is on the B string up to what is currently tuned as E. Delete the B string as before (as it should now have no notes). Then, go into your tuning options and change the E string to -5 to make it tuned to B. When it asks you about transposing notes, be sure to say 'No.' This should do it.
Artist: Dream Theater Title: The Enemy Inside Date: June 7, 2014 9:11 PM	I have been thinking about doing this custom since December or so. The lack of 7 string support led me to research it a bit. With a little bit of finesse, this could be made into a custom tuned 6 string song... tuned to B,A,D,G,B,E... a la: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewKxAwiHMqE
Artist: Dokken Title: Into the Fire Date: May 28, 2014 10:11 AM	here's my bass playthrough Awesome job! Granted it's not the hardest song in history but 100% is very impressive! m/
Artist: Symphony X Title: Sea of Lies Date: May 24, 2014 1:46 PM	I love me some Symphony X and MJR. Thank you so much! Any chance you'd be doing anything like the damnation game or anything from paradise lost?I already did Set the World on Fire. I've been looking for a good tab for Domination or Wicked, but thus far haven't found one. Presently I'm working on The Divine Wings of Tragedy. The bass is done on that one but the guitar parts are complex and will take some time.
Artist: Symphony X Title: Sea of Lies Date: May 21, 2014 10:35 AM	Looking at the playthrough it looks to be picked for the bass part, this is well out of my ability for now , as my pinky just gets in the way at the moment and holds the next finger backI don't know if it is supposed to be picked. I just know that my finger picking ability is too poor to even attempt this. I played through Satriani's Echo on bass with finger picking and had blisters after 2 play-throughs, so I have to use a pick until the blisters are gone. :oops:
Artist: Michael Angelo Batio Title: No Boundaries Date: May 19, 2014 1:06 PM	I can't believe you did this song. It is NUTS! (and I love it!)
Artist: Joe Satriani Title: Echo Date: May 19, 2014 11:06 AM	I completely agree about the positioning. I played around a lot with the bass tone, wondering why I couldn't get that twang or slap sound that Stu Hamm gets. Then I started plucking up around the 19th fret on the D string and started hearing it. My son watched me play the bass on this one and said it "looked boring." I told him that not everything has to be complicated to be pleasing to the ear. ;)
Artist: Joe Satriani Title: Echo Date: May 18, 2014 12:31 PM	thank you !!!!! can you do also Joe Satriani's songs: Up In The Sky and House Full Of Bullets plz ?Perhaps, in time. I'm working on the Surfing album presently. After that? Who knows?
Artist: Prince and the Revolution Title: Computer Blue Date: May 16, 2014 9:34 PM	I watched your play-through video. Nicely done. Prince was one of my favorite artists as a teen. I've thought about doing a custom of Purple Rain or Lets Go Crazy but there's other projects on my agenda for now.
Artist: Joe Satriani Title: Day at the Beach (New Rays from an Ancient Sun) Date: May 4, 2014 11:17 AM	Try this package, Harvis: http://www.mediafire.com/download/d223b7w18ibpv8fI found that the original midi map wasn't synced to 0 which might cause a problem for some, so I fixed that, and upped the scroll speed to 1.5 because there were a lot of notes on screen at once at 2.0. If it still crashes, then I will generate a new ID for it.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: I Am A Viking Date: May 3, 2014 5:13 PM	I can relate. My JS20S has an edge 3 floating tremolo, and any alternate tuning is just out of the question. I picked up a cheap-o $99 mini strat (new) for its fixed bridge, and use that for Eb, Drop D or D standard. Up until I picked that up, I used the dive bar on the low E to fake out the game into thinking I was tuned properly, and tuned to the 4th fret above to get the rest. It wasn't the most efficient means of learning a song, but it was a way to have fun and still learn. When the game wanted a low E I'd just play the 6th fret of the A string.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: I Am A Viking Date: May 3, 2014 11:31 AM	I would love something in E standard!The only song I know of that Yngwie made in E standard was "Hold On." I already made that one. He has tuned to Eb standard since his days in Alcatraz.
Artist: Joe Satriani Title: Day at the Beach (New Rays from an Ancient Sun) Date: May 1, 2014 1:05 AM	Harvis, what platform are you playing on? I don't have an xbox or PS3 to test on, but maybe I can re-package it to eliminate your lock up? I haven't had a problem with it, and nobody else has reported one. Let me know.
Artist: Dream Theater Title: Beneath the Surface Date: April 30, 2014 12:47 AM	This is a cool track. I'll check this one out tomorrow when I get up. :)
Artist: Dokken Title: Mr. Scary Date: April 29, 2014 3:34 AM	Yeah I downloaded the version that you uploaded after removing DD. My previous comment was regarding the DD timing offset.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Rising Force Date: April 29, 2014 3:30 AM	I've spent the better part of the last week reworking this. As requested, I've added bass and a lot more. The info is in the release notes.
Artist: Dokken Title: Mr. Scary Date: April 28, 2014 11:01 AM	It occurred to me last evening that my suggestion to drag the notes may have been an incorrect assessment of the issue. If you had fixed the DD issue originally by inserting 3 seconds of silence, you probably forgot to recreate the .wem audio package in WWise with the newly inserted silence. That would explain why the audio would be off. I'm betting it all looked fine in EOF.
Artist: Dokken Title: Mr. Scary Date: April 25, 2014 7:02 PM	I just tried the new version and the lead is off by about 3-4 seconds starting at the first note. CTRL+A then drag all of the notes so that the first note aligns properly and you should be good.
Artist: Dokken Title: Mr. Scary Date: April 23, 2014 11:27 AM	I saw that you mentioned the riff repeater issue. I just tried out the lead for Modern Day Cowboy and Mr Scary as well. When I played through it, the difficulty did start rising slowly, so the DD is registering sections correctly. Maybe you just need to insert the 3 seconds of silence at the beginning of the track and add let the game register the start section marker.
Artist: Dokken Title: In My Dreams Date: April 23, 2014 10:06 AM	How did I overlook this on the downloads database? This was the very first Dokken song I learned how to play (back in 92). I have to play this custom! Thanks again Jazzie!
Artist: Ratt Title: Wanted Man Date: April 23, 2014 9:58 AM	Thanks for this one too, Jazzie! I'm finding so many of my 80's favorites on your customs list that I may never finish the two Yngwie tracks I'm working on.
Artist: Dokken Title: Mr. Scary Date: April 23, 2014 9:50 AM	YAY! More Dokken! I will never be able to play this properly, but I'll give it a hell of a try! :-D
Artist: Symphony X Title: Set the World on Fire Date: April 13, 2014 5:10 PM	I received a report of a broken link on this download so I've uploaded the package again and verified that it works.
Artist: Yngwie Malmsteen Title: Rising Force Date: March 1, 2014 9:15 AM	I've never figured out how to convert for PS3. Whenever I try to compile the package for PS3 (on any track) it crashes the toolkit.
Artist: Symphony X Title: The Odyssey Date: February 28, 2014 10:57 AM	I clicked the Download Link and it works. Are you getting any particular errors?
