Title: Waterloo
Date: June 3, 2021 3:12 PM 		Ocana, I would be happy to do that but I am not skilled enough to use the YouTube video to create a Guitar Pro file.  I originally took the guitar pro file on Ultimate Guitar and used that as my source to create lead and bass for the CDLC. If you or someone else could download his Guitar Pro file or create a Guitar Pro file then I'll use it to create a Rhythm part. Thanks, -- John...

Title: Superstars
Date: February 5, 2021 9:01 PM 		This song definitely has a problem with incrementing the main play count.  It says 0 even after you play it a few times and stays at the top of the Recommendations list.  If you go into the song then it shows the counter.  Very odd.  I haven't seen that before.  Can you try rebuilding it?  I can do that with my version but then I have a different one from you.

Title: Listen to Her Heart
Date: October 6, 2017 6:51 PM 		  Hi, I played the lead a few times and this has the 100% mastery bug.  It shows as 100% even though I only had the levels set to 50% throughout the song.   Also, are you able to work on the DD?  Instead of it deconstructing the chords as you lower the levels to 40 or 50%, could it just reduce the repeating strums and add more strums as you amp up the level?  I can play the chords but switching so fast and getting the rhythm down is where the problems lie.  Thanks! Thanks for your feedback and report! I will try to fix the DD Bug.   And the 100% mastery bug too please.  I think maybe you just need to have the latest toolkit and recreate it with that to fix that problem from what I've read.

Date: September 27, 2017 2:21 PM 		Hi, I played the new version's Lead several times last night.  You did an awesome job!  The changes you made were spot on.  I appreciate the fast response and turn around time.  Good job!
Artist: Foreigner
Title: I Want to Know What Love Is
Date: September 25, 2017 1:06 PM 		Thanks.  I've played through the Lead part a couple times and wanted to give you some feedback.  The charting is good.   As someone previously mentioned the volume levels are not right and are not even throughout the song.  The sample volume is too high.  On some of the tones the volume for the guitar is too high and on other tones you can barely hear the guitar.   Can you work on the volume levels overall for the lead part?   Also, there's notes after the song is over.  Can you cut those out.   Thanks, John...

Title: Something Just Like This
Date: August 18, 2017 1:14 PM 		Well... thanks for making it.  It's interesting and better than nothing.  I think you could probably do a lot more with this (i.e. the tone), but I appreciate the effort.

Title: Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Date: October 27, 2016 1:31 PM 		Hi, this song has the 100% glitch.  (When I played Lead it went all the way to 100%)   Here's a link about that... http://customsforge.com/topic/33589-100-glitch/?hl=100%25 Seems like a quick and easy fix.   Would you please update this cdlc and repost it.   Thanks!

Title: The Battle of New Orleans
Date: October 10, 2016 4:05 AM 		Thanks for the input. I will likely redo the entire song and use one of the banjo sounds in the near future. Cool.  I look forward to it.
Artist: Johnny Horton
Title: The Battle of New Orleans
Date: October 7, 2016 2:51 AM 		I gave you the banjo tone in my message above.  Here it is again:  https://www.reddit.com/r/rocksmith/comments/314bta/anyone_have_a_custom_tone_setting_for_a_country/   In that link they tell you the exact settings for the Banjo tone.  OR, there are two songs in Rocksmith that have a Banjo sound:  Drunk Lullabies by Flogging Molly and Unwell by Matchbox 20.  You could just use the tone from either of those two.

Artist: Johnny Horton
Title: The Battle of New Orleans
Date: October 3, 2016 9:03 PM 		Hi, I don't know if you changed to tone before last night or not but when I tried the lead part late last night it sounded the same.   I found two songs in Rocksmith that have the banjo tone and the settings.  Go here and read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/rocksmith/comments/314bta/anyone_have_a_custom_tone_setting_for_a_country/   Also, is the lead supposed to be playing the banjo sound part?  If so, it's not lining up most of the time and I'm not sure what I'm playing.   Thanks for working on this.  -- John...

Title: The Battle of New Orleans
Date: October 1, 2016 3:29 PM 		Hi, I was really excited to see this song show up so I downloaded it and tried the lead part and wanted to give you some feedback.   Can you add a tone for the lead guitar part that fits the song (like an acoustic banjo type sound)?  Right now the tone used (I'm guessing it's the default guitar tone) sounds so different from the song that it makes it sound off when you play.  It doesn't fit together.   I'll try it again when you make some updates.   Thanks, John

Title: Don't You Want Me
Date: March 31, 2016 3:42 AM 		Just played the Lead through several times.  Great job!   My only suggestion (if you are open to it) is to remove the notes/section which exists after the music has stopped.  It's kind of odd playing notes at the end when there's no music.   Thanks, John

Title: Read My Mind
Date: September 21, 2015 8:47 PM 		  Hi, I just tried out the lead part.   For some reason the first 2 note chord (I think it's a D3) will not register when I play.  I've tried recalibarting, checking the tuning, strumming soft, strumming hard, biut it won't register that 2 note chord.  All the other chords and notes register just fine.   The volume levels and everything else is really good though.  You nailed that.   I like the rifts this song has so if we could figure out what the problem is that would be great.   Thanks, John I've not had any problems with it, and I'm just playing it like I would with any other chord. I'll try remaking it and see if that works at all. Thanks for the feedback though!   Once you've remade it let me know and I'll try it again.  It's odd that the one chord isn't registering.  Are you using the latest version of the toolkit?  Thanks, John
Artist: Pink Floyd
Title: Wish You Were Here (Plum's Version)
Date: September 21, 2015 8:37 PM 		Hi can you make the standard lead have DD that way I can use Riff Repeater with it.  I can do it myself but then if you make updates I'll lose my progress levels.   Also, out of curiosity, why do people not add DD and Riff Repeater as standard?  Most people can't play 100% for all songs and like to practice sections.  (see coffiholic's message above).  It would make it more complete and professional like the regular DLCs.  I just don't get it.   Thanks for doing this song and all the effort.  -- John...   PS:  I tried the lead part of this last night.  Wow!  You did an excellent job (other than not have the DD as standard ;).  The song is very clean and playable.  A lot of these customs are just a mess and impossible to play but this one is amazing!  You've got all the volume levels correct as well.  Thanks!

Date: August 6, 2015 6:35 PM 		Hi, thanks for working on this song.  I tried it out (the lead part) and had some feedback for you.  I've listened to this song numerous times and some notes just don't sound correct.   Thanks,   -- John...
Artist: Prince and the Revolution
Title: Computer Blue
Date: June 4, 2015 2:46 PM 		Hi, tried the latest version for the lead part.  Good job!   My only minor suggestion is that you seemed to cut the song off a little too fast instead of letting it fade out a few more seconds.  I like that you don't have any notes at the end when it's fading but having it end there sounded abrupt.  Also, I seem to recall it started really fast (or was that another song I played?).... if so could you add a second or two before if possible.   Thanks, John
Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Title: Otherside
Date: June 4, 2015 2:31 PM 		Hi, this is the first time I tried a multitrack and it's awesome!  I feel like I'm part of the band playing.  It's such a different experience than the regular songs.  I'm so glad you have DD in there because since I'm basically the lead I had to get up to speed on the parts and could practice the sections and raise my level.   I think you did an excellent job.  I don't understand the discussion about harmonics because RS supports harmonics (maybe not in chords?).   Here's some feedback:  The lead part sounds quick accurate throughout but during the solo part (where there's a lot of notes on the B string) it stood out to me as not quite the right sound... maybe the tone is different or something.  I haven't listened to the song to compare it, it was just something I noticed as I was playing.  Excellent job overall.   Thanks,   -- John...

Title: In My Life
Date: May 16, 2015 5:19 AM 		Hi,  I'm having a small problem.  For some reason the counter isn't working for this song.  Every time I play it the counter doesn't change and it stays at zero.  I've never run into that before!   Also, if you have time, would you make a tone that matches their tone, make a solo part for the keyboard solo, and add the vocals.   Thanks for doing this song.   Thanks,  John

Artist: Rush
Title: Presto
Date: May 1, 2015 1:42 PM 		Hi, I downloaded and tested the lead part on v3.  The same problems exists as I previously mentioned.   There are still NO segments showing up when you go into Riff Repeater.  You can't use Riff Repeater or set the Difficulty Levels because of the lack of segments.   I have fixed this for you by running the steps I mentioned above in the Toolkit.  I'll send you a message with the link to my public share so you can get the file and replace this one.   It's odd that they have notes in the tab after the song is done.  I'd recommend removing the extra notes after the music is done.  It would make it a little more professional feeling.  But if you want to leave it I guess that's like an extra little solo... ;)   -- John...
Artist: Rush
Title: Presto
Date: April 29, 2015 6:23 PM 		Hi, I downloaded and tested this last night.  Pretty good job.  Thanks for making it.   I found 2 problems though.   1.  In Riff Repeater there are no segments showing.  This is easily fixed by doing the following which takes less than a minute: Download the latest Rocksmith Custom Toolkit (if you don't have it) at http://www.rscustom.net Open the program and click the tab "DDC" Add the psarc file Set the phrase length to "4" Click "Generate" to create a new psarc file.   2.  At the end of the song the music is done but there are still notes showing up.  These could be removed.   I'll leave it up to you if you'd like to make these fixes, but if you do I'll test it for you.   Thanks,   John

Title: Romeo & Juliet
Date: September 16, 2014 2:18 PM 		Hi, I tried the song.  I had a REALLY hard time trying to get it to tune with the capo on.  It finally did work though.   In Riff Repeater almost all of the song is in 1 segment so it's hard to practice a section of the song -- you basically have to play the whole song.   Could you please break it up into several sections (even if the sections would repeat what's played).  Thanks, that would make it a lot easier.  John

Title: Waiting for a Girl Like You
Date: September 15, 2014 2:01 PM 		Hi, I tried this out last night.  You did a good job.  There's just a few minor issues if you could fix them.   1.  The volume on some of the tones is extremely loud.  When it switches to certain tones the guitar volume becomes really loud.  (Also, I think the volume for the whole song might be a bit too loud.  The vocals seem louder than the regular DLCs.)   2.  At the end of the song there's no music but there's still notes to play.   Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to do this.  John

Title: The Diary of Jane
Date: September 3, 2014 3:36 PM 		Hi, I tried this last night.  WOW!  You must have put in a lot of work.  One question about the tuning though... it's so low that my guitar rumbles and rattles when I play the notes.  It's hard to play because you have to be light of touch for the notes to register correctly.  Is that the actual tuning the band uses for that song?  Maybe I need thicker strings or something.  Thanks, John.
