Download link is dead, mate :/ Works fine for me right now - it's my personal site so ideally it shouldn't go down. If it's still not working, could you tell me what browser you're using? |

@Karmeleaux Here is the update with a lot of modification all around, listed some of the big guidelines on the author note. Definitely more faifthful now than before :) Oh! Forgot to reply to this, was bouncin' in and out of town a lot at the time, sorry. The update's very good and I have no complaints, was pretty happy with the previous version and even happier with this! Thanks! |

Thank you so much for charting this and other Rock Band/Guitar Hero-associated songs. If you're ever open to requests, I would love to see "Even Rats" by The Slip, but I'm happy to see whatever you work on next. Even Rats was one I did start before my long hiatus, I simply wasn't up to the task of focusing on it at the time. But my ability and resilience has grown so it's been one I've been thinking about revisiting - just tend to get distracted before getting back there, oops. |

the 2nd half of each chorus where the notes jump up to the 17th, 18th, and 20th frets (or 1:15 in your playthrough video you have linked). Those notes are down 2 frets to where they should be, it should be at the 19th, 20th, and 22nd frets for that section. Please fix as it sounds awful when you play it. So my relative pitch in a bit of a questionable state as it let that go through in charting and testing, but I glared at this pretty hard while updating and it sounds like when it moves up it's actually 18-20-22 rather than following the shape of the main riff (7-8-10) exactly. Lemme know if that seems off to you. Similarly, there's a bunch of other fixes throughout the chorus as well and ideally those should all be correct now but if something's weird holler. Listening to the prechorus slide up section, there's no slide from 10 to 13, which makes me think that might be a spot where instead it switches strings and the whole chorus is played a string higher than I currently have it. I wanted to check out videos and get some ideas (and I mean, I want to finish that overdub guitar in the outro at some point), but unfortunately we're reaching late in the night and I'm concerned if I didn't get it out tonight it'd get stuck in update limbo where a lot of stuff gets for me. Ideally what I've put out should be note accurate if not fret accurate this time, ideally I'll be able to come back again in the future to make sure that if is fulfilled for sure. But at the moment, this is the update, hopefully it's right, lemme know it's not, thanks. |

Title: Dis-Moi Date: May 12, 2020 1:27 PM |
Took a play and a listen pass to this one too. Bass: -The only feedback chartwise I have is the solo might be switching between FHP 9 for the E9-10 and FHP 7 for the A7-9, especially as that section is broken up by open notes. Even then it's not especially awkward, it's just slightly weird compared to the FHP of the rest of the song (with E9-10 being FHP9) but it's not rare for bass parts to switch up how parts are fingered especially during sections like that as well. So it's just a remark. -I do think the bass tone isn't quite... bassy enough? It's not really noticeable for most of it, but when it gets to those little breaks where it's only bass it's clear the sound isn't as thick as the song's. Guitar -No remarks about the chart. Well, if I wanted to pick the smallest of nits there's a few audible unpitched slides on the chords up and down to the barre A, but like, that's reaching for something to say (and I acknowledge that slides can sometimes make a chart harder to read, even as someone who overuses them). -Like bass, I feel the clean tone is a bit too clean/jangly and doesn't have enough 'crunch' to it - it feels like an 'alternative radio' sound rather than 'indie/garage' sound the guitar seems to want to do - ugh I wish I was better about speaking about tones. This is most noticeable during dead note chords, and even then only so much. So like no complaints about the charts, and the tones are still real good, just if you ever end up looking back at this one for whatever other reason it's possible they could be improved. |

Title: Radio Song Date: May 10, 2020 1:21 PM |
I recall you talking about a disappointment with a lack of feedback on your customs so even though I'm usually pretty happy with yours and just have stayed quiet as a result, here's me going over this with an intention to nitpick: Vocals: -Radio is charted as two syllables when it's three in English, not sure if this is a language thing or just something that was easy to miss --MOST online hyphenators I've break it up like you have charted, but then every online syllable site says it's three, so, sometimes free stuff on the internet has the quality of free stuff on the internet. Bass: -Harmonics don't feel as prominent when I play them as they do in the song - this might be an instrument thing, it might be a post-production thing, but there may also be a difference in how bass tones are set up for songs that are harmonic heavy. I was going to compare it to Beautiful Disaster by 311 and Down Rodeo by RatM, but importing this tone into the Toolkit gives me an invalid value error so no luck there. --Tone is otherwise good I feel, I know you remarked about lack of feedback on them recently as well so there you go. -The second G5 in the choruses audibly slides back down in the first and third choruses. Nitpick! Lead: -Filter's a bit much for the first few measures, I imagine a low output version of the tone would work better here but it's also only like ten seconds so. -Both channels in the verse sound cleaner than the overdrive tone to me, especially on the Gm -Lead sounds like it's timed for the left in the verse, but then the fill before the chorus is in the right channel. This isn't necessarily wrong as official DLC does this sometimes and I'm not complaining, just remarking on it. -The choruses have an octave chord part that's not charted on either path. Version 2 of the Guitar Pro on UG seems to have this part, though I haven't check hard into its accuracy. -Similarly, the bridge also has an uncharted octave chord part. -The modverse is charted kinda weird right now, it's quite a stretch from 10 to 15. Same Guitar Pro file has a likely alternative of just moving for that part to do it a string lower. I'll retract this if this is how actually is played. --(EDIT: I could go either way on this. I've gotten used to it now, but I have big hands and a small guitar so it's hard to say how much of those aspects feel into it becoming easier.) -Pickslides are supposed to keep FHP for where the fretting hand is, right? -Last chorus actually modifies the uncharted octave part further, and I don't think I've seen any tab have that part, unfortunately It's still a real good custom and I imagine most of these would be fixed if you had done it today, but also definitely worth remarking on the missing guitar. |

it's not even the right song that's why you cant find it. It comes up as Kaleo_Glass-House song please fix I really would like this song. You are correct - I tried the version I uploaded and it disappeared (and using RocksmithToTab real quick it did read as you said), regenerated the package and it reappeared so I uploaded that package. It should be fixed now. Sorry about that, genuinely don't know how that happened - like I musta accidentally clicked the filename while saving the last draft of Glass House after finishing testing Do Not Disturb? Weird, thanks for catching it, again sorry I didn't. |

I can't get it to show up in game on PC. any ideas? Not specifically outside of the usual CDLC problems, no, sorry. I assume you have other customs working (if not check the FAQ or Discord support channel), so my first other thought it is you possibly downloaded the wrong version for your system (make sure you grabbed _p.psarc for PC). I hate to offer generic advice that puts the onus on you, but I tested it on PC so at the moment I can't figure where the issues lie otherwise. If anyone else speaks up with issues I'll poke harder to try to find a lead, but I hope it's something you find a resolution for. EDIT: Oh! Make sure you don't have any filters on, I know I've ending up not seeing CDLC I've downloaded by having my list showing only favorites several times. EDIT 2: Or I'm a big fool who somehow donked up the file, whoops. Thanks so much for folks speaking up quickly on this and so at least I could take care of it now. |

Looks like a fun song. One quick comment. During the E7 chord at around 2:17 on the guitar playback video, it sound like goes to A7 on the two chord hits before going to the D. Downloading now! Hey, I definitely think you're right about the two staccato chords between the E7s being a different chord - even the original tab I use had them as C#dim (that is, 565 on DGB) which sounds more accurate than what I put up. I ended up mistakenly rolling over that because when I was looking at it I misread and thought it was merely a partial chord of E7 (like how a lot of tab books do) and so I thought I was flattening the look for Rocksmith, oops. It's late here so I'm hesitant to roll out a change on something I donked up from the tab I was using already, but I'll look harder early tomorrow and ideally roll out a quick fix on it, thanks. |

Title: Less Talk More Rokk Date: March 19, 2020 12:38 PM |
OMG YES! Finally someone who did it! Any chances for doing Get ready to rokk too? Impressive arrangment and very well synced too (judging by the video though, will still play it!!) Thanks for the praise, though sync actually wasn't that hard for this song with the kick drum clearly communicating the new measure starting in the speed-up. Lemme know if anything seems off when you play it - it definitely (and unsurprisingly) had some errors in arrangement and tones during testing, and if any of 'em slip past me into the final arrangement I'd like to make sure they don't get another chance. As for another Freezepop song, sorry, in general I don't revisit an artist for the foreseeable future after doin' a song by 'em so I can bounce around and hit some others of the myriad artists I do wanna hit - so if I did another Freezepop song I probably wouldn't start until near the end of the year, and that's IF I did. There are some exceptions to this so it's not impossible it changes, but that's my general flow so figure I'd letcha know. |

Title: Start a Band Date: March 14, 2020 11:44 AM |
So there is a whole section at the end that you don't actually play in this version but it appears that because that is included you cannot level this up to 100%. Not sure why that end section is even included. Hi, are you sure you're talking about this version? This has 'feat. Keith Urban' and a bass part, the other has 'and Keith Urban' and doesn't have a bass part, and does appear to have an error in the sections at the end of lead. If you are sure it's this version, could you specify the section with a screenshot? Thanks. |

Could you do Night Lies by them? Was in Rock Band 2 and it's an absolute slammer Sorry, it's unlikely in the foreseeable future. I tend to do one song per artist at any given time to keep myself moving through artists I want to hit - the rare exception being if the artist has multiple songs that are simpler, which Bang Camaro obviously doesn't fit the criteria for. As times goes on the odds increase of me re-visiting a previous artist increases, but I can't see myself exploring that possibility at all with Bang Camaro before like September and I thought I'd at least be honest with that. |

Title: About a Girl Date: March 7, 2020 4:46 PM |
. . . I mean that this song looks like a remixed version or something, especially the vocal part, it seems that of the unplugged, and it's very beautiful, can I ask you where you got it and if you can do others? Sorry for the VERY late reply on this. So, this version was done using the multitracks ripped from the game Rock Band. While these tracks are all from the original album recording, they all have different mixing for the game. Most notably for vocals, sometimes the tracks use "dry vocals" and the game makes them "wet vocals" by adding reverb and other effects to them to give them the fuller sound they have in the album mix. This song has "dry vocals" in the stems, I applied some reverb to it to try to get it closer to the album mix but clearly not enough. I have started to note this for my uploads because most are done from the Rock Band files which means the sound mix is different than the album, but I am glad in this case you enjoyed it. I think even the other songs from this album in Rock Band have "wet vocals" in the multitracks, so it's not common and not predictable enough for me to intentionally do for many others, sorry. |

Download for PC is in html format when I right click and select "save target as". I think it works for xbox though. This seems to only be affecting select users, in the meantime here's a mediafire link to the PC version if it's still affecting you: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ykqtnix0l7uppev/Nirvana_About-a-Girl_v1_p.psarc/file As I mentioned in the Ramblin' Man topic, if you could lemme know what browser and any other information you think is relevant, I'd appreciate it to see if I can resolve this going forward. EDIT: I also think I finally configured my .htaccess correctly to try to force psarc/edat/eof downloads when the browser's otherwise unsure, but I'm definitely rusty on Apache so I mighta still donked it up. I'd appreciate if you could Ctrl+F5 the folder and try downloading from there one more time and lemme know the results, but I understand troubleshooting is secondary to actually getting the file which ideally that mediafire link should cover. |

Awesome! Any chance of "My God"? Great work, fun as hell. Hope you do some other ones from Aqualung in the future Sorry for the late reply, but it's unlikely in the foreseeable future. I do like me some Jethro Tull, but I also have other stuff my whims are leaning towards now, so I don't see me realistically returning to this tap by the year's end. I do hope some others release some Jethro Tull because I know there's certainly more I'll play, and if I'll keep the requests in mind going forward (though again they might stay only in mind).

Thanks man! PLEASE DO YOU ENJOY MYSELF IF POSSIBLE Thank you so much for putting in the effort on this dude! I've been waiting so long for someone to put up a better version of the old chart. Thank you again! I'd like to echo the request for YEM above. Alternatively, I'd love to see a chart for Frankie Says! Just to temper expectations, not in the foreseeable future. I try to bounce from band to band to hit all the artists I want to see in the game, so now that I've done a Phish song I probably won't do another one for months at the least. In addition, I'd MOST likely do a song I have multitracks to, both because it's easier to really get into the guts of a song there and also I tend to have a softer spot for them as a result. Tweezer, Wilson (Live), or Birds of a Feather (Live) would be the most likely, but as I said this would be further out so my tastes and approach might change. I am glad y'all appreciate it, and I hope someone does approach You Enjoy Myself for y'all. |

Title: Weird Science Date: March 17, 2019 12:22 PM |
I don't mind that they're on the same path, just the tone change is off-putting to me. I wonder how it'd play if you stuck to one tone instead of changing midbeat. But there is some way to conceal the tone change, I noticed when I repacked Killing In The Name Of (added uncensored lyrics and repacked) that there's a section in there too that rapidly swaps tones but it isn't noticeable (no speakers flying around) in the DLC somehow but it was in the repacked one. I don't know maybe there's some kind of flag they put so it just swaps tones instead of visually showing it too. Anyway, it's fine just picking nits. I don't know. No it's fair to think about. I'm pretty sure in that RatM song it's switching between an octave effect, so it's possible because the amp/cabinet and rack don't change, just the pedal effects, that might be why? My CDLC's tones are always cobbled together from whatever sounds passable to me without regard to the gear consistency, it's possible that if I made those uniform stuff on the side wouldn't fly around so much. It might be something I poke in a future tone heavy song or if I need to come back to this for anything else soon. |

Title: Weird Science Date: March 17, 2019 10:52 AM |
Thank you for the cdlc. I find the frequent tone changes immersion breaking but I guess it works. This song is way more difficult than I expected as well, good job. That's fair, I can see some people wanting the clean and lead parts to separate paths. Obviously I prefer them on a single path, but anyone with some charting experience is welcome to pop open up the notes.eof and break it up if they want. I create my CDLC for myself foremost, but I get sometimes that might be against the way other people want it and my intention is never to 'camp' a song and prevent it from other people doing it, but put the work out I've done out there A ) in case I messed up like a goof and end up distracted instead of fixing it and B ) for other people to use to alternate arrangements they like more if they want. The difficulty definitely surprised me too, I had to put this one away like twice while working on it because it just felt like too much to do all at once, even with converting it from the RB3 chart's base. Thanks! Thx a lot bro ! Can you try to make the song Only a lad pls ? Thx in advance and keep the good job ! Cheers from FRANCE dude !

Sweet! Can you do more from the same album? It's not likely in the foreseeable future, I like to bounce around on artists I do CDLC of because there's so many I want to see in the game. That said, this is my favorite Aerosmith album so if I do revisit them I can see myself doin' a lead version of Big Ten Inch Record (I started this back when I was first starting out but I don't know how salvageable it is for my standards now) or Uncle Salty. It's possible if the mood strikes me but I wouldn't count on that being a reliable inspiration for me. |

Do you plan on updating this CDLC? I noticed some errors on the rhythm path I wanted to help with. The single notes during the beginning verses should be played on the A and G strings not the D and B strings. Hey! When I came back my hope in part was to at some point update all my CDLCs that are years old, but I took a break to focus on other creative projects before I got very far into that. I've thought about returning to charting CDLC tomorrow, but we'll see where my mood takes me. If you yourself want to ensure it's updated (as even if I do get back in tomorrow it's likely this specific one won't be immediately focused), I can send you the most recent version of the files I have and you're welcome to publish an updated version of it. If not, I'll keep this in mind when I do hit it and get back to you then for further assistance if you're available and willing. Thanks! |

Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. Lead: -Some stubby tails in the handshapes -Open A could probably be put in the handshape (might be E 5? I should check this, but it doesn't really matter, just keeps it a more standard chord shape) -The first note in the bridge doesn't have a sustained tail after its slide. Bass: -Has some tails where none are needed. All minor visual polish issues, seem to be very accurate and legible charts. Love the song, thanks for making this! |

This is probably A 7th because it slides up to A 12th at the end of the choruses. -Chorus is partially in wrong octave and missing some variation -Tails bump into the next note with affect legibility some Lead's issues are just visual polish for the most part, but I think bass could be revisited to make sure it's accurate.

Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. Supercool to see someone else do a song from listening to the multitracks. General: -Think this song could use a bump up in Scroll Speed if it gets revisited. Lead: -I'm a little confused what lead is. It feels like vocals alt-charting, which is fine, but I don't know where the chords are coming from then. -Tails bump into the next note which affects legibility some. -As mentioned could end one measure earlier given the fadeout. Bass: -Tails bump into the next note which affects legibility some. -Many notes in this song that have long tails aren't sustains in the audio -I think fretting might be more natural if the A and G 5th/7th notes were more up to E and D 10th/12th. Just my opinion, but Rocksmith lets me play that as it is now so not a big deal either way. -Unpitched slide should be longer than the default one fret -Tone could use an examination. -As mentioned could end one measure earlier given the fadeout. Notewise seems good, could just use a little visual polish if it was visited again. Nothing requiring a new version, nice work and thanks! |

And in turn I appreciate you being so receptive! I'm coming back into this community late so a lot of people simply don't have the time or ability to revisit old songs at all which is entirely fair, but it's very reassuring to hear you even considering it. I get the time crunch (I have a number of old customs I need to update still myself!), it does suck, but I'm glad to hear you still want to take care about your older stuff. It's very hard to communicate constructive criticism online because without a tone it might sound more harsh (and I've an affinity for verbosity than often ends up adding some unintentionally pointed descriptors), but for clarity I appreciate everyone that does CDLC, I'm not trying to tear anyone down, I'm just trying to build what we have up together. Also, if you're doing it from scratch, sitting down with the bass multitrack from Rock Band 3 makes me think it's ~A427-9. |

Title: Like Eating Glass Date: September 29, 2018 9:01 PM |
Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. General: -Seems this wasn't done to a beatmap but just synced to the audio. This causes some minor distracting visual clutter under the notes due to them being displayed as offbeat. Lead: -Intro is a little hard to get accurate due to being through a reverse effect, but as such you may want to reverse the strums when that kicks in hard. -The intro chords are tremolo, and the slide is one consistent unbroken slide, so it's probably a chord on E 12th rather than A 7th. (though really the slide's probably an effect, everything's an effect with this band) -I'm not sure what the A 7th single note strum after this represents on lead, I'm only hearing one guitar which is what's charted to Rhythm. -G 13th strummed twice in outro rather than jumping back up to the A string Bass: -Slide down isn't tremolo picked -Slides should probably just be unpitched -Missing first notes on parts before 'I can't sleep' -Strum pattern consistently off in 'I can't sleep' (tabs say verse? Bloc Party songs are structured so weird to my ears) -Missing variation here too -Missing first notes on parts in 'It's so cold' -Missing fill after that section -Strum pattern consistently off in outro -Missing multiple variations in outro -Last notes not synced -Tone picks up low-end a lot more than high end for me, which is usually the opposite for this bass so worth noting -Tails bumping into next note affects legibility some Bloc Party songs are real tricky due to the sea of effects, but I think this one could use another pass, particularly on bass. Doesn't look like there's a fully accurate bass tab out there, but the variations are based around notes that are already being played so I think it's doable by ear with dedication. |

General: -Doesn't have Riff Repeater in the game, which seems to cause an issue with horizontal scroll; that is it'll have notes display offcenter of the fretboard (for example the B chords) Lead: -Kinda feel like Lead and Rhythm are reversed for this, given the game's description of the paths. -Rhythm's tone should probably be changed for verse -Pick slides are charted as a dead note, which is passable, but there is an official format for them Bass: -No remarks outside of tail lengths bumping into the next note, which does affect legibility some The Riff Repeater thing is iffy because it's not a song that moves around a lot so it's not the worst (there's some songs I've been playing where the notes end up entirely off the screen), and outside of that nothing needing a new version. If you have the time and energy it's probably worth adding sections to at least to try to fix that issue, but if not it's still legible enough to play. Thanks. |

Title: Come On Eileen Date: September 28, 2018 10:57 PM |
Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. Lead: -Chordshapes repeat in the final chorus rather than form chordboxes -I have the note 'tones might be a bit loud,' but the first time I played this was when I was figuring out my current audio set-up so take that one with a grain of salt. Bass: -Strum pattern isn't just straight eighths for the punkier parts, there's some variation in the strum pattern -Chorus is wrong throughout, check Rock Band 3's Pro Bass chart -Having done so, it looks like a few other progressions are wrong (not just differences in fretting which would be acceptable) Lead fine's as it is, but bass could use a revisit. If you intend to, I could chart out the horns for a bonus lead if you wanted that as well. |

Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. Lead: -Tonewise, it could use some love. Feel like the first tone isn't the best tone for the part, and the distortion is overpowering for everything for the octave for me -Chartwise what's there seems accurate -Overdubbed lead parts in first and third chorus that could be charted --Outro recycles one of these overdubbed as well Bass: -Seems good -Only remarks are it sounds like there's a slide up before the A 2nd shape, so it might actually be an E 7th shape. -Similarly in the bridge it sounds like there's a slide from open A to A 4th, which might mean it's on the E string too Nothing requiring a new version, very cool song to see a custom of, thanks. |

Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. Lead: -In the bridge the non-open notes should be charted one string lower (G not B), open B is ringing out underneath them -Some extra strums and lower notes missing in the solo -No tone changes and the tone is very quiet -Should end chart earlier, it goes like two measures past when the fadeout sounds inaudible Bass: -Verse riff A 5th isn't sustained but two eighths (really very few of the sustains on bass are sustains) --Tail lengths affect legibility a bit too despite most of these tail lengths not actually existing -Chorus fifth (D 5th) is only charted in the final chorus, but is present in all of them -Tremolo is undercharted literally, but should just be charted as tremolo notes -Should end chart earlier, it goes like two measures past when the fadeout sounds inaudible Could use a li'l more polish if you ever think about revisiting it, but it's a nice surprise to see on here, thanks. |

Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. No real remarks on lead, I think there's a couple extra strums or dead notes in a few areas but real window dressing stuff. Bass, however: -Main riff somewhat inaccurate -Missing early variation -Early fill slightly out of sync with audio -Multiple fills missing during bridge -Inaccurate going into next part -Later fills have unusual fretting (moving from 2nd to 7th fret when 2nd is probably just 7th a string higher) -Fill missing during sax solo -Fill missing after sax solo -Last notes slightly out of sync with audio Bass would heavily benefit from another pass, especially comparing it to the Pro Bass part from Rock Band 3. If you revisit it, I have a Pro Keys chart (sax in this song's case) I converted into a lead part and I'd be willing to do the violin as well for alternate leads. |

Title: You Probably Couldnt See For The Lights But You Were Looking Straight At Me Date: September 26, 2018 6:11 PM |
Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. Lead: -I think even in the left channel the 'never again' part is three chord strums then a dead note chord. It's hard to tell due to two guitars (and the other guitar doin' two and two), but that's what my ears are telling me. Bass: -The strum pattern gets more complex in the riff after the word 'properly,' it starts to have a transition from the previous note into the next part of the riff. It's hard to put into words, but like instead of (ex.) 7---(10)-(10)- I think it becomes 7--7(10)-(10)-. I don't have the song open so that might not actually be accurate to a part in the song as an example, but it does more clearly communicate what I'm trying to say. -Towards the end there's a fast section that has A 5th and E 10th. I THINK this might just be all E 10th but it's hard to say because two guitar bands mean live camera very rarely focuses on bass and this song is so short impacts the focus too. Despite my lengthy rambling, all incredibly minor observations, a lot of fun, thanks! |

Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. Lead: -Intro slide missing -Slides could probably be unpitched, especially given positioning. -Has the fuzzier guitar when it's alone (before second verse), but doesn't have the fill in the second verse or the trill in the bridge. -Last chorus has the full chord shape displaying every strum of the chord, affecting legibility some. (imagine these have the 'crazy' status?) -Solo has some inaccuracies, the notes in a row are held bends of various heights rather than re-bends, and a second guitar comes in on the second to last note and adds some bends and noise during the last chords but that's fine missing. Bass: -Same remark about slides. -Otherwise the last tail is just longer than it is in the audio. Nothing requiring a new version, a simple but fun song to visit, thanks. |

Bass: -I think the 3rd/2nd fret bit on E ('and your nose is bleeding . . . ') is actually in the wrong octave, I'm pretty sure it's the 10th/9th fret on A. Hard to check live due to lack of focus on bassist and strobe effects, unfortunately. -Minor but I'm pretty sure that break in strumming is never actually there on the 5th fret on A and sometimes not there on the seventh fret on E. -Tails are bumping into the next note. Bloc Party's a real headache to try to approach due to the intertwining of two guitars with heavy effects, so like kudos and thanks. |

You could do a bonus bass that doesn't have the soio similar to the Royal Blood song, but if I play bass on this song I want to play that solo. -Note tails are bumping into the next note, which is slightly distracting. Charting seems accurate to me, though that I want that solo on bass. |

Your stuff's usually in pretty good shape though, you're fine! Lead: -Might wanna try a different tone for intro chords, it's hard to figured out what to do with that part of the song though. -Very short tails in the main riff on the first fret. So short I didn't notice them until I was doing my scrutiny pass, so like not even distracting. Bass: -When the chorus switches from mainly being on the 2nd fret on the A string to the D string, the last notes are 2nd fret then 4th fret on A. -The verse rhythm is slightly off. Its rhythm is charted as like (as an example) 1-11-11- when I think it's actually 1-1-1111. Very minor remarks, nothing needing a new version. Good job, thanks! |

Title: Vision Of Division Date: September 13, 2018 11:57 AM |
Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. Pretty accurate to the sound, though I think there's some room for more accurate fretting. Bass: -I think the fifth, eighth, and ninth fret on D are actually the tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth fret on A. This is most obvious in the verses where bass is most prominent and the slide can be clearly heard. (also live: https://youtu.be/itr7uOql9qw?t=51s seizure warning if you watch past that three second bit) -Seventh fret on D in chorus seems an octave too high (it should be open A). --Guitar Pro Version 2 on Ultimate Guitar seems to have both of these corrected. -There's a few bits in the previously mentioned slides up where a higher string is played for one note instead of straight eighths on the same one (a 'fifth' I believe the note is called, the second note in a power chord shape), most noticeable and almost exclusively at the end of the choruses. -(Actually fine) The solo is different finger placement than the intro, but this seems to be common charting for it, and looks like it might be the case live (it's sure hard to tell because of their love of obnoxious strobe and quick cuts), so. -Last note could be longer, but whatever. Lead: -I'd like a version of lead (bonus is fine) that has the solo, especially as I don't find rhythm especially fun to visit otherwise. -D# after the solo has a small arpeggio after the chord is played -E5 sounds like it's a quickly arpeggiated chord. It's fine the way it is, but it might be SLIGHTLY more accurate to handshape B5 and e7. Rhythm: -Kinda weird to chart the left channel during the second half of the solo when this chart is exclusively the right channel otherwise -Last note is a bend As far as notes goes this is more or less fine as is, though I'd love to see a version with lead having the solo. Bass could certainly use a li'l love if it's revisited too. Even as is though, lead's really fun and accurate as far as I can tell, thanks! |

Bass: -The tone picks up the higher end a bit too much (past the 12th fret on D/G), might want to adjust the levels on the rack. -Tail lengths are bumping into one another, this affects how readable it is slightly. -Unpitched slides are left at their default one fret, which is not only inaccurate but sometimes a bit confusing where the player ends up next. Guitar: -There's a part that occurs twice that would be more readable to the player with handshape/arpeggio markers. -Same comment about unpitched slides from bass. -The last note goes past the music ending.

Nothing needing a new version. Pretty accurate, pretty legible, Back in my youth, this was the first song I heard that made me go 'I like the drums in this' so like lead and bass can't really hold a candle to that in my feelings about the song but I like the song as well as the custom, thanks! |

Goin' through my CDLC collection on Lead and Bass. Nothing major to report on this one from me. Lead: -Could probably benefit from some arpeggio markers for intro at least. -Some stubby tails on notes affect legibility a bit. -The chords during the bridge should be palm muted. Bass: -Short tails appear in here too. -The intro seems like it might be better to do as arpeggio/handshape markers given the higher string rings out still under the lower notes than ending at them as charted. -I was gonna comment the chorus seems a bit awkward, but turns out that is right than what I figured the placement was by ear. Thinking about it it does make sense, blink-182 fucking loves the 7th fret on the A string (also I feel like this is more fun now that I've adjusted). Could benefit from a pass to make it more legible, but definitely nothing needing a new version. Very accurate (moreso than I assumed on bass, womp womp), pretty legible, and my favorite blink-182 bass part so yeah, nice job. |

Goin' through my CDLC on Lead and Bass. Lead: -There's some guitar fills thrown into this song (in one channel or another) that aren't charted on Lead or Rhythm. -I think the verse strumming pattern is not incorrect, but off on its timing some. Like right now it's (accents formatted) 1+a 2+a 3+a 4+a when I'm pretty sure it's 1 a+2 a+3 a+4 a+. -Speaking of the verse rhythm, I think the unmuted chords should probably be marked as accents. -There's a pick slide not marked as such. Bass: -There's a lot of li'l variations that are missing if you listen while letting it go through Riff Repeater, like I think almost every transition between eighths on a fret during verses have at least one extra note before the change. -The very end is mischarted, it pulls off to open E well before the strum is charted, and it just stays open until the bass cuts out, no 5th fret again. -Minor visual issue where the tails of notes are bumping into the next which impacts legibility a bit in my opinion. -I don't say this often, but the tone could be muddier for this song. If you want to do another version of it, I'm willing to help explore detailing the lead and bass more as well as breaking the vocals up into syllables. |

Title: Ambivalent World Date: September 5, 2018 10:39 AM |
Goin' through all my CDLC on Lead and Bass. Some things I noticed: General: -This CDLC seems loud when compared to ODLC for me. The tones' volume relative to the song's seem fine though, which is good. (I feel like both should be brought down together, but at least it's not a case where a loud CDLC has an even louder tone) -Riff Repeater seems to break on the last section. Lead: -I'm curious why the single-note part in the chorus is charted to Rhythm instead (this part could also use slightly shorter tail lengths to be more legible). It's especially curious because that's the guitar does the octaves in the final chorus, which IS charted to Lead. -Solo is slightly off from what I can tell, particularly at the beginning, but still close. -There's a phantom frethand placement marker after the solo. Bass: -There's a few variations that are mischarted (and more I think are charted on the wrong string for the slides to make sense). Starting early in the first chorus and ending before the second chorus, there's four variations I sat down with and didn't feel what's there was entirely accurate. Didn't notice it really outside of those myself, but doesn't mean there's not more. -Slides are pretty messy. Unpitched slides are left at default length of one fret. There's pitched slides that should be unpitched, and vice versa. There's recurring quick slides that should be charted as a pitched slide up linknext'd into an unpitched back down (i.e. 7->14\ on E, 7->12\ on A) that are just two unpitched slides (of one fret). --(Lead might need another check over in this front too, these issues might be there too just not as visible) -Speaking of slides, the last note should be charted as an unpitched slide down. -In a minor visual issue, there's a few notes with tail lengths bumping into the next that affect readability just slightly. (there might be more of these creepin' around on Lead too, I know the chorus Rhythm is like this as mentioned above) Regardless of those issues, it's overall pretty accurate (especially for the song's complexity), very legible, and really fun. I can certainly understand not feeling the need to do a new version, though there's room for improvements if you did one (and I'd particularly appreciate it as a bassist primarily). I'd also be willing to help with the bass variations and break the vocals into syllables if you did. |

Tones i suck at in general sadly, I have no idea how to make them even after this many years. :c It was also a song I did when i was still new to all this so it won't be as great as newer stuff No I getcha on all fronts. The feedback is solely intended to communicate things I noticed, but I definitely get all that. Still suck at tones myself, still have some older stuff of my own that's of a quality I'd be harsher about. I'm just going through all my CDLC slowly and trying to give honest feedback, so like I get understand I will be hitting some like this, but I just want to give feedback on everything (that has an active author, at least). I might consider giving the song a coat of paint because I do have the multitracks to try to pin down some of this stuff, but it's definitely not a priority and you're active so I wanted to check if you wanted to at all yourself first.

Title: Crawling in the Dark Date: September 4, 2018 12:25 PM |
Sat down with the multitracks after this, this is definitely a five-string Bass song which means it's probably gonna need some work to get accurate - this unfortunately means the conventional wisdom that Lead is tuned to Open E is probably true too. Checked all the GP/Power tabs out there and there's unfortunately not a good one to really start on, there's a Power tab that correctly gets the Bass tuning but definitely messes up syncing it with the guitar so it's impossible to parse. Still, if you're interested in hitting this again I'm willing to try to help with the bass and adding vocals. Lead might need a li'l tone love still - This custom seems somewhat loud when compared to ODLC and the Lead tone is somewhat loud on top of that. A bigger problem is the part near the end where Bass plays the 6th then 7th fret is definitely wrong so that means the Lead part is PROBABLY wrong too there specifically (as it's what the clearly wrong bass plays along with), but I haven't looked at that because chords are hard for me to place. |

Title: Heart in a Cage Date: September 4, 2018 10:17 AM |
This CDLC has some notable inaccuracies of various levels. Bass is noticeably charted as straight rhythm throughout when it's clearly not in the original recording. Lead could probably use a tone switch for the verses, but the bigger problem is that the verses are inaccurate both chord- and strumming pattern-wise. This one took a bit more poking because I personally am real bad at figuring out chords, but thankfully there's a live video that made this easy to check the placement on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF55B-d5xas If this was based on a Guitar Pro file from Ultimate Guitar, there's actually a Power tab that has all these inaccuracies corrected on there. If you do revisit it, I'd also appreciate arpeggio markings in the bridge to make the handshapes being used and switch between more clear. I'm also willing to help with vocal editing for phrases and breaking up syllables (though that's not a huge deal in this song due to how monosyllabic the lyrics are). |

Feedback! Lead and Bass charts are real good, real happy with them. Happy with the volume of the song and tones too, glad I didn't feel there were any issues there. Some minor feedback on tones: I know for parts like the Clean Lead tone ODLC tends to toss in a li'l octave (sometimes too much!) to try to get a bit more of that sound, did you try that at all? And the Special Effect seems to build up to be a bit overpowering, most notably on the sustains. You've got a way better head on tones than I do, but just some thoughts after playing it I figured I'd communicate. Regardless, very accurate, very legible, enjoyable, at a listenable volume, nice all around! |

Really good Bass chart, no feedback came to mind when I played that. Lead has some room for improvement. I think the slide charted from 7 to 8 on low E (well, D in this case) is actually a bend, and I think the slide charted from 7 to 8 on A is a hammer-on. I think Lead could use a li'l tone love too, I think the tone used throughout clearly isn't the most applicable at all times. Finally and most egregiously, there's some impossible chords toward the very end that need to be cleaned in some way. If you end up wanting to revisit it, I'm willing to help add vocals; if not I understand not wanting to revisit a four-year-old project. |

Good CDLC, few areas where there's room for improvement from what I saw. Lead I think just needed a li'l linknext love, but bass tone was REALLY muddy when I played (unlikely to revisit it because of it) and there's a clear bass variation near the end that's not charted. If you decided to revisit it, I'm willing to chart vocals and the bass fill for it; if you're not, I certainly understand given this is like three years old. I'm. I'm not helping with the bass tone though, sorry, they're my worst enemy. |

Title: Holiday In Cambodia Date: September 3, 2018 2:27 AM |
Givin' my CDLC collection a hard stare on Lead and Bass. This one stands up under scrutiny. There's little room for improvement - the second repeating section of arpeggios on Lead I think are overcharted and doing the work of the effects (poked the multitracks and they seem to support this), and I'd personally like the vocals to be more formatted in ODLC style (no commas, no all-caps, broken up a bit differently). There's also some barely audible slides between the arpeggio shapes in both arpeggio sections if we're going all-in (though I think charting those would probably just muddy the chart). While I'm remarking on them just for completionist's sake, these are INCREDIBLY minor remarks for CDLC and I don't think warrant a new version. Very good job on this, genuinely stellar work! Accurate, legible chart with nice tones that change as appropriate, it's real good, wow. |

Title: Otherside Date: June 2, 2015 1:22 PM |
this might be an odd question but after reading it from time to time when looking for new songs and still not getting it: what is/are Multitracks?? What is the difference between a "normal" custom and a multitrack-custom? Customs made with multitracks mean that the charter can release a version with the guitar or bass audio from the original recording muted (most multitracks are ripped from the Guitar Hero/Rock Band series, so they're not often split down to rhythm/lead unfortunately). That means the only sound you hear in those versions of the CDLC is your own guitar playing with the game effects on it. Many people prefer this set-up so they can more clearly hear how accurate they are to the original song. I was gonna just link my tutorial and leave it at that, but it occurs to me I never actually explained what multitracks are in my tutorial. WHOOPS (i need to update it some anyway, i'll get around to it in like six months) |

Was very happy to see this until I noticed there will most likely be no guitar parts :( Aw man Mm, no promises, but it's a possibility if there's interest from others, Rock Band 3 had a guitar chart that wouldn't take too much effort to convert. I just felt it was a way better bass song so I didn't have much interest in doing guitar. But even as a bassist predominantly, having bass only songs in my own library kinda irks me at times because neurosis. We'll see, I'm about to head out of town for like two weeks so it might be something I do in my free time. At the same time, I genuinely have about three dozen WIPs I cycle through arbitrarily as well as tons of stuff I want to do that I haven't even started, so who the hell knows, I certainly don't. So it's POSSIBLE it could be something I hit in the next two weeks, but it definitely isn't something I'll guarantee in any respect. If you yourself have any interest in makin' the guitar part definitely happen, just lemme know and I can send you the notes.eof. |

Thanks you very much. Tried bass and for my there very fast scroll, need reaction of driver F1 for read this notes. Would be goog more low scroll for bass, enough 1.8. (Guitar yet not tested) Thanks for the feedback. That's fair, often times when I'm testing I overcompensate scroll speed and then get used to it myself so I kinda forget exactly how quick I actually set it. This is something I can take care of very quickly and easily, and it's especially nice because this was compiled before the EoF fix for dead notes so the guitar chart is very ugly during the chorus, but I didn't feel like that alone warranted uploading a new version. |

Thank you so much I've always liked the Rock Band 2 version much more than the original. It just sounds better. Some feedback is that some of the tones sound a little off like the clean and second part of the solo other than that it's great. Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to look into the tones sometime soon, I confess it's definitely the part I'm least confident in the process so if I find something passable I usually move on, but I'll try to poke and see if I can improve upon 'em sometime in the next week ideally. |

Genuinely many many thanks for this one (also anyone got any ideas how to remove requests?) Post in the FAQ/Support topic for the Request List that it meets your request and can be marked as completed. If all of the information from the release is identical to the request it'd be taken care of eventually anyway, but since your request included rhythm and I didn't tackle that in mine you'll need to manually state it if you want to mark it as completed. |

Nice! Thanks. Do you have any plans on potentially doing, 'Old Apartment'? Unfortunately my short answer to these types of questions is 'Not is the forseeable future.' I LOVE the Old Apartment (And Brian Wilson (Live), and Helicopters, and...), but I've got a lot of songs from a lot of other artists I love that have little representation as CDLC and I'd like to spread the love around. (Also very unfortunately the only BNL songs that were released for rhythm games, which makes multitracks easily accessible, were this (towards the very end of the cycle too!) and Hannukah Blessings when there should have been like at least a half dozen released) I am SUPER fickle so anything's possible, but definitely don't wait on me doing it. |

This is already available with lead. Apart from having no guitar parts what is the difference between the 2 versions? I guess I added this to my projects list before it was added to the database, my bad, there was only Walk Away when I checked (though lead is overly generous, this is definitely a rhythm song, GetTheLedOut). I did the bass entirely by ear with the isolated bass track, completely rewriting a very inaccurate Guitar Pro tab, but it looks like either there was a better tab out there from the start or GetTheLedOut did an equal amount of editing because their version on bass is only slightly different overall. Whoops, oh well. This one is on me! I might start on a Relentless7 song in the next week to make up for it. And release it like two weeks after someone else uploads it, I guess. |

Yeah!!! grat Song Thnks A LOT!! could you do GUNMAN? Thanks! Recently, I was thinking about making some of TCV, but you were first with this one :D Are you going to make other songs? It's very unlikely I'll do another song by them in the immediate future, there's tons of artists I want to represent with customs so I tend to do only one song per artist. In a few months if it's not already done, I MIGHT do Scumbag Blues (the only other I have multitracks of and my personal favorite) or New Fang if its multitracks are ripped, but given those are only a possibility in the far off future don't let it influence you if you definitely want to do 'em now. |

Yes, didn't know how to describe it to be honest, and then I typed it in wrong. I've always played it from the E with a ton of compression, but looking at people online - seems you're definitely on the right track. :) 5 6 8 8 6 8 That sax gets all in the way tho... I couldn't do any of the rest so I'm just happy someone else has done all the awesome work. :D I stumbled on this as well: . . . Went over the lead today by myself, I think you (and that video) may be right, I'm pretty sure I can hear the guitar (not the overdubbed bass) sliding upwards from the G power chord so it might be rooted on E|-8-6-8 then A|-6-8-10 before returning to F/F#/G on E. Thanks for the link as well, I'll also take a gander at that video, it's definitely WAY more accurate/natural than the tab I was using for the main guitar/bass riffs. The tab I was using seemed pretty excellent for the fills, but I'll compare and contrast any differences with that, especially in areas where I had a bit of trouble understanding what's going on. Sorry about the delays. Did most of the minor clean-ups I intended to do on my run-through today, so ideally I should it get out tonight or tomorrow after watching that video and making any changes based on it. But well I seem to keep missing deadlines when I approximate them, so maybe I should just stop. |

Thanks for doing this! Also, a +1 for Starless from Red (or anything else from Red) I always thought the first monster riff was: A ) 2 - 1 - 2 - 6 - 8 - 10 And not A) 2 - 1 - 3 - 4 - 5 as transcribed. Is this just me, or am I following a different lead instrument? Thanks for the feedback. Are you referring to the main chord riff ('first monster riff' can mean a lot of things in this song, depending on your definitions)? It's currently tabbed rooted at A|-3-1-3-4-5-6, but upon relistening after your comment, I believe you're right about the last three being A|-6-8-10. Kinda embarrassed I let a mistake through on something so prominent, I'll probably fix it tonight barring any complications. It's good because there's a few minor clean-ups for this song I'd been waiting to deploy if I got any corrections for the solo, but it's a bummer that what I'm fixing should have been something I should have caught. Thanks again, I'll credit you when I update it. |

Thanks for this. I'm not going to be much help with the tone as I've never made a CDLC, but I do think it was overly distorted on lead (full band) - I was wondering if the game had crashed or something while I was playing to be honest! Thanks again. Thanks for the feedback. I'm out of town right now, but I'll look at it sometime next week when I'm back. It's a pretty aggressive sound, but I easily could have overdone it. |

haha no problem! Anything to help fans of this awesome song including myself. Loved the solo i thought it was hypnotic and powerful sounding Sorry, had some some good forward momentum going for a while there and this slipped my mind like water off a duck. Been touchin' up my older stuff while out of town so I think the next week or two is mostly making sure everything feels alright in what I've released, so I'll try to address this this time, I swear. I'll look into the solo as well, though I can't promise any marked improvement there. Though that IS the most clear part in the stems, because this song is super-echo-y. I'm actually pretty bad at doing chord progressions by ear, it's kinda embarrassing because it seems to be the first thing a lot of transcribers are able to get down, and combined with the effects on guitar here the whole chord sections to this song were like ????????? to me, I definitely appreciate help there, thanks again. |

Love this song! You make some great stuff.Stuff like this and Learn to Fly are me watching the songs with the most likes on the Request List and me going 'Do I have the multitracks and interest in this song?' So really the community is requesting some great stuff and I'm just like 'eh why not if no one else is doing 'em.' If you've got songs you want to see, add 'em or like 'em on the request list, it's an excellent feature and I'm doing my best to make sure it's super-validated. Aside rambling I don't feel like making a new post for: when I next touch up the solo I'll probably clean up those unpitched slides on guitar. I originally thought the bassy fuzz part was an overdub guitar so I included them to 'kinda' chart both parts because unpitched slides don't count for anything so it doesn't hurt to have them exist, but as Aludog pointed out it was a bass overdub (overDUH), they just currently add empty visual clutter to the chart. |

Title: 21st Century Schizoid Man Date: July 31, 2014 2:02 AM |
Nice. Thanks a ton for doing this. Another one's of my list now. Just a quick question: Did you include the overdubbed bass parts (the heavily distorted one) in your tab in any way? I always thought that could be a nice bonus arrangement, if nothing else. ;)I have not currently. In the multitracks from Guitar Hero, that's actually on the same track as guitar/lead sax, so I actually wasn't entirely sure if it was just a superbassy fuzz guitar overdub, it makes a lot more sense as a bass one, yeah. But it wasn't charted in the Guitar Pro tab (though I'd be hesitant to trust its charting anyway given the quality of the chart in those areas in general) and seeing it's on the same track as guitar and sax it's not an easy part for my ears to pick out to tab even 'isolated.' I currently don't have plans for it as such, but I'd never say never, except twice in that statement. EDIT: Also if anyone ever wants to try to do that either by sending an attempt to me or taking this and building it on top of the beatmap (because that was one of the biggest limiters in this taking so long in the community that I got to hit it, I can assure you), feel free and I'll give as much feedback as I can, and give you credit if I include it. |

Oh, something I forgot to mention in my ramblings: About the last thirty seconds I tabbed dead notes to the rhythm of the noise. There's no way to tab 99% of that noise in general and especially in Rocksmith, but I didn't want to leave it empty there because you gotta make that big rock ending your own. EDIT: Actually I'm adding this to the rambling because I forgot the scroll speed is 1.5 in this song not 2.0 so I gotta update it anyway. |

Any chance of Joyride?Unlikely to happen any time in the forseeable future, my focus is currently on transcribing songs using isolated stems that don't have any sort of accurate tabs (like this one, which even with the multitracks was obnoxious to try to tab because of all that echo on guitar) and I also hesitate in general to revisit an artist when there's so many others I want to see in the game. I'd never say never though, especially to more of bands like this. |

Thank you for such a polished cdlc. Really fun to play and one of my favourites to play at the moment. Great Job, well done.Thank you for the comment. I appreciate all thanks/likes, but comments that expand even a little bit definitely add an extra sense of what's well-received in the custom. In truth, my whole OCD with some of these parts I felt like might get called out as overcharting, so I'm glad to see it's considered polish by at least some (or one) people. |

Sounds like a good excuse to learn what the heck pop, slap, and pinch harmonics are!Ha ha. Pop and slap is a bass technique, pinch harmonics are a guitar one. There's actually ingame tutorials for both, now the time's to learn. I'm not going to lie, I didn't know what pinch harmonics were until I took the tutorial on it. I'm still not GOOD at them, but I do understand what they sound like and how to produce them. |

Title: Low Rider Date: June 22, 2014 7:32 PM |
Many thanks for the upload, but I'm curious as to why the guitar in the right channel is not charted? Not a particularly amazing part so it's no big deal, but it'd bring this song together for when one is playing the game with a friend, which is where I think this song really shines. I know when I was poking around Guitar Pro files I didn't find one for the guitar part, but there's definitely a stem for it in the multitracks I have and a Pro Guitar chart that one could copy from Rock Band 3. If you're not planning to yourself, I'd offer to chart that out real quick. I'm really out of it this weekend so I haven't done too much in terms of charting myself, but it's a simple enough part I think I could knock out just adding it to a GP5 file you could import. |

For reference, there appears to be some kind of wah(?) effect on the bass during the outro, it starts right around the section where it heavily jumps an octave (and that may be a mistake due to me misinterpreting the effect). While I've been involved with playing and tabbing instruments for somewhere around eight years, this game is actually my first experience with making tones, so if anyone has a better ear for that stuff I'd really appreciate any input on if I should bother or if I'm mishearing or what. Similarly, I think the guitar solo has like chorus or something but it sounds (to me, of course, which isn't a lot to go by but it's what I've got) passable with just the distortion effect currently. Again, second opinions on tones help me A LOT. |

From the first section "Well I hear P-nut joints are fat,He must be arthritic,Tim is from the seventies and so we lit it." Thanks for the update, works like a charm. Those lyrics make a lot more sense than most lyric sites, thanks. I can't promise I'll get back to this any time soon unless there's issues with the charts because I'm kinda burned out on the song for the next little bit having to go through it so many times again, but next time I touch it up I'll likely change it to that. Good to hear the guitar seems to work for you now, hopefully it works for lahelio now as well too. |

No idea what causes crash. Most common reason is "same name" issue and that's checked. There are no exactly same named song in my dlc folder.Waiting for update, unless someone else too confirms lead works, then i try to remove some "feel" named songs and check if that helps.Gorillaz song is feelgoodinc is closest, so there is minor possibility its dlc name is same. Haven't check that issue properly yet. Just updated to version 2.0, let me know if that magically solved your problem (alternately, other people: let me know if you experience similar problems). If not, I'll take it to the forums and try to figure out what could cause the issue. |

Wait, shoot, I know I forgot to fix one part on bass before upload, I'll try to fix it before I go out of town tomorrow. Will probably upload videos of all the parts then too if I can (unless someone else wants to), because it's a simple yet fun one on all of 'em.Blargh, don't have time to fix it to a level I'm comfortable with, sucks. It's pretty obvious what part it is, the bass 'solo' before the breakdown where it runs up and down real quick is currently charted way too high and homogeneously. I'll try to fix it while I'm out of town, though I won't be able to test it myself. |

Excellent, thanks! And an additional thanks for tabbing the bass part by ear and not just settling for the tabbed version! sleepyFor reference, that was mostly to communicate 'I'm way less confident in this bass part than most of mine,' but I appreciate the additional thanks. For instance, I'm pretty sure most if not all the dead notes that aren't on the E string are probably just me getting confused by the top note of the chord on rhythm, though it's possible it's octave jumps on the bass as well. This was sort of my first 'flying free' tab, in most cases I have a secondary source to check what I hear against (official tab, Rock Band charts for outlines in the variations, or if I'm lucky actual multitracks), but unfortunately this has none of those resources available so I have to rely entirely on my ears and I don't think I'm at the level to get a perfect tab from that yet. So yeah, if you play the bass and anything feels off on it, let me know. |

I'm not personally sure what the issue could be, if you have any ideas I'll look into it. EDIT: That said, I've been working on updating my old charts between new releases and this one is probably about a week or so away from being updated, so maybe it'll present the issue to me when I test it then.

This was a request from a friend when I had just started poking customs, before I had released anything, so they were able to get in there early before my desires kicked in. I personally probably want to do about five more songs from other bands before I revisit an artist because there's a lot of artists I want to see at least represented, but either song sounds like a good candidate for revisiting 311, I'll make a note when I meet my goal.

sounds cool. might upload a lead chart video on this today. E: Ok, some feedback from the chart. Sounds like some of the single notes are supposed to be palm muted, but they aren't. These are especially in the single notes before power chords. Otherwise, pretty good work. Tricky song to play, some of the chords are odd to me.Thanks for the feedback. I was pretty sure they were palm muted, but being a beginner in this format I was hesitant to trust my own ears over the official tab except in the few places it was obviously wrong. I'll take care of that in the next draft. And yeah, the chords in the chorus-like area has some really weird chord changes, but otherwise it's pretty straight-forward and fun. The bass is pretty fun too, in my opinion, if you play that at all. |

Anyone else having a hard time getting the octave chords to register? I don't have any trouble with any in official DLC, but in this song it says I missed like 80+% of them. Might just be confirmation bias, but I think leaving the muted note in the middle of the string actually made it more strict in what it accepts? I don't know, my experience with this song was just widely different than normal so I'm just checking if it's an issue for anyone else. |
