Great song choices, I played Lose yourself today.. and oddly enough, found it weird with words charted separately instead of syllables and thought the guitar chart was a bit… ambitious.. nevertheless, i look forward to trying billie jean ^^
January 5, 2014 at 4:22 am #411659found it weird with words charted separately instead of syllablesI guess it’s just a personal opinion of mine, but I don’t think rap songs with faster lyrics should be split. Reading it can get overwhelming at times, for me, and people I’ve played with.
There's vom- it on his sweat- er al- rea- dy mom's spa- ghet- tiThat just looks dumb to me. It might cause people to focus too hard on reading the syllables rather than enjoying singing it. Again, just my opinion.
Billie Jean is back to normal though.
January 5, 2014 at 4:24 am #411660While you can certainly do whatever you want for your customs, it is objectively wrong to do what apparently you did (I still haven’t had a chance to test the song).
Players are used to how it’s been done for nearly 6 years now. All words are broken down by syllables, and those who know the game’s mechanics well but perhaps not the song by heart, will actually suffer from charting this way.
January 5, 2014 at 4:38 am #411661Yikes. Good to know though. Maybe that’s why no one was doing Eminem songs haha. Legacy had over 800 words and that was torture. Include syllables and it’s probably over 1200.
Also, I thought multi-syllable pitched words only needed to be broken up if they changed pitch throughout the word, so there are a few oopsies in Billie Jean (I counted 10, nothing significant). Just thought I’d let anyone know I’m now aware of that before they return with feedback.

My White & Nerdy chart has the vocals charted like they should with the syllables and listen how fast Al raps. That’s just my example though.

January 14, 2014 at 10:22 pm #412232New song time! If you’ve seen the WIP forum today, you’ve known what’s coming.
Jack White.
Meg White.
Barry White.
2 of those individuals were involved in the making of this song. If you can’t answer correctly, this song might not be for you.
My first time with harmonies. Jack does a lower part in the choruses. I may have nailed it, I might have not. I don’t know. I don’t have an ear for this. I’m not espher. I know the lead vocals are right though. Guitar can be a little tricky, but once you get the rhythm down, it’s just three different chords. Drums are simple, but fast paced. I’m also introducing what may be a rock band first, a fake bass track. That’s right. If you’re playing with three friends, no one has to sit out for this one! Someone not too musically inclined probably won’t even know the difference! It just boringly follows the guitar, but with way less excitement and talent required. (like real bass amirite?)…… kidding!
And also, a big thanks to Farottone for pulling me up from the depths of authoring hell and redoing the tempo for me. This song wouldn’t be here without him.
I am sad to say however, this may be my last song for quite awhile that I author vocals on. It takes far too much time for me, especially considering I don’t sing that often myself. I will still include keys where possible with all difficulties. Thanks for all the downloads so far and enjoy!
January 15, 2014 at 3:52 pm #412260Hotel Yorba…Nice! Sorry to hear that you won’t be doing vocals going forward (I’m so glad you did them for this one though). I know that others have said that it’s very time consuming as well. Unfortunately, I personally have no use for RB tracks without vocals but I do want to thank you for the tracks you did. Definitely some great choices that will surely be RB party favorites in my house for both singers and plastic instrument slingers alike!
January 15, 2014 at 9:13 pm #412280And another one!
This place ain’t big enough for two James Bond theme song authorers! Or maybe it is, I’m not the boss.
My debut of pro keys! I wasn’t gonna do it, but by god, it was johnlennon007 in MrMet’s thread that inspired me to learn to do it!
Guitar is simple, bass is a bit challenging alt-strum fest, and drums are just an orchestral mess. I did my best, but it’s about as non traditional as you can get for rock band. Keys are where most of the fun is at. You play a variety of horns. Making them pro wasn’t too difficult, and the chart shouldn’t give regular keyboardists much of a sweat, but it’s still fun.
January 15, 2014 at 9:59 pm #412282Thank you so much for the OHMSS theme! One of my favorite orchestral tunes from John Barry.
January 16, 2014 at 12:25 am #412292Thank you for the great customs! Looking forward to more of your work in the future!
January 17, 2014 at 8:24 pm #412401Thank you so much for doing this, it is my favourite Bond movie and theme. Thank you very much again! Hope to see more awesome Bond customs from you. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />
January 18, 2014 at 8:36 pm #412444I figured I’d give a tease.
I’ll be putting up a song soon. It has 3 part harmonies, guitar, drums and std. keys. Here’s some hints:
Sung by a notable artist who is still active today.
Probably was most known from a film.
Also, the star of this film was not known as an actor.
Climbed to #2 on the Hot 100.
Earned nearly $100 million in the US.
Joined many all time greats together for cameos.
Also on Rolling Stone’s greatest 500 songs of all time.
Multiple Grammy Award winning.

Not sure what it is…but I am looking forward to it! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />
