It’s a great tune on guitar and bass. Hopefully someone will do some more of their classics at some point like The Eton Rifles and That’s Entertainment.
i’d make a thread like this, since I do Clone Hero charting with a friend, except I’m afraid our charts aren’t that good

” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” />For what it’s worth, nobody starts off charting perfectly and looking at some of the charts I made over a year ago (RHCP and Triumph in particular), I can see that some of my charts are pretty poor compared to others out there. Since I started posting on C3, I’ve come to realise that this community is very accepting of charters of all abilities. I say go for it, your charts probably aren’t as bad as you think anyway.
Besides, you can always edit/improve them over time if necessary. However, you won’t know if they need fixing unless you let other people try them!

fair enough. suppose I’ll start a thread then, thanks for the encouragement!

Oh well, here are some packs I’ve released so far this month!
Goth Rock 01
Preacher Man – Fields Of The Nephilim
Spiritwalker – The Cult
This Corrosion – The Sisters Of Mercy
Kicking off the month of October is a spoooooooky pack of Goth Rock tunes. Most of these are pretty easy on guitar and yet they’re all surprisingly fun! Spiritwalker contains a series of simple riffs for beginners but if you like the song, you’ll hopefully enjoy the chart! This Corrosion is the single edit (sorry, even I’m not touching the full 11 minute version) but the verse contains some fun acoustic HOPO sequences. However, if you’re looking for something a bit more challenging, you’ll be wanting Preacher Man.
There are several challenging riffs before the first riff alone and the slight changes in certain guitar patterns makes this a fiddly one to FC. However, all of these songs are classic Goth Rock tunes so if you’re hankering for some haunting 80s Rock, I hope this pack quenches your thirst!
Saxon 02
Wheels Of Steel – Saxon
747 (Strangers In The Night) – Saxon
Stand Up And Be Counted – Saxon
That’s right, my first 02 pack is of one of my all-time favourite bands: Saxon! To be honest, I’m surprised the first two songs haven’t already been charted for C3 but the guitar and bass charts are finally here! All three songs are pretty easy on both instruments, to be honest. There are simplistic but fun chord sequences, a few neat little solos and some repetitive bass thudding throughout each track. Hopefully these three charts will bring us one step closer to seeing a fully charted Wheels Of Steel album in the database, as it’s an amazing album for lovers of 80s Metal.
Rock Band 3 10th Anniversary Pack
Lady Writer – Dire Straits
Buried Alive By Love – HIM
Just Because – Jane’s Addiction
Khashoggi’s Ship – Queen
Hand In Glove – The Smiths
I Love To Boogie – T. Rex
Hey guys, did you know it’s nearly 10 years to the day that Rock Band 3 was released? I’m not sure if it’s come up anywhere on these forums or Discord. Anyway, here’s my contribution to the momentous event; six songs by six different bands that were in the Rock Band 3 setlist. I’ve tried to go with a variety of bands but mostly just stuck to ones I could tolerate to chart. Anyway, here’s my breakdown for each song:
Lady Writer contains some fuuuuuuuuun guitar. Anyone familiar with this song (or even Sultans Of Swing) will know that Knopfler don’t joke about on guitar when it comes to outro solos. This commences entry 1 on “Songs I’m Surprised Weren’t Licensed for GH/RB”.
I’m not really into HIM but I do like me some Buried Alive By Love. Some fun chord sequences in the chorus and a surprisingly great outro solo, although there’s not a lot going on on bass. Here’s entry 2 in the aforementioned “Songs I’m Surprised Weren’t Licensed for GH/RB”.
Just Because is easily my favourite chart of the pack. I know I’m biased but I love playing this on guitar. The HOPO riffs in the chorus are great fun and I hope you’ll agree that the chord patterns in the verses are pretty good too. Anyway, enough patting myself on the back. This is entry 3 on Running Joke 1.
Khashoggi’s Ship is a Queen deep cut off the same album as I Want It All so you can expect some quality Arena Rock riffing here. It’s a short tune but there are some neat little HOPO riffs dotted throughout. I charted this one because it’s one of the few Queen songs I love that hasn’t currently been charted. I recommend giving it a listen!
I like to think that I’ve done a solid job in taking a song with approximately 2 guitar riffs throughout the entire track and making it sort of fun on guitar. This chart’s definitely one for people who like the song but if you’re indifferent to it (or just can’t stand Morrissey’s warbling)…well, there are 5 other great tunes!
I Love To Boogie is the final song of the pack and it’s a good ‘un! Guitar was pretty tricky to chart at times due to the song’s audio mix but I’m proud of what I produced, not to mention the nifty little DIY outro at the end. However, if you liked the charts for Jeepster and Ride A White Swan, I recommend giving this one a go. This concludes my current list of entries for “Songs I’m Surprised Weren’t Licensed for GH/RB”.
Well, that was a mouthful, huh. Anyway, I’ve got some great packs coming for November:
Video Games 02
Cheap Trick 01
Modern Rock 01
Black Star Riders 01
Plus, there’s one more 3-pack coming before the end of this month so I’ll be back again in a week’s time.
I’ll give you a clue. It’s more Saxon.

Ugh. I would cry happy tears if these were RB customs.
It’s cool seeing someone else appreciate these two songs though!👍😀
Hope you all had a great Halloween!
Here’s one more pack for you…well, a pack extension.
Saxon 02….again
Never Surrender – Saxon
Power And The Glory ’02 – Saxon
I’ve Got To Rock (To Stay Alive – Saxon
I’ve added three more Saxon tracks to Saxon 02, as it was always meant to be a 6-pack but I realised Rock Band 3 was turning 10 so decided to do a 6-pack for that instead. Whilst the first half of Saxon 02 features three of the band’s singles off Wheels Of Steel, these three were my personal picks chosen to have some fun guitar. First up is Never Surrender, a great track off Denim And Leather with a cracking guitar solo and a DIY outro that works quite well.
Next is Power And The Glory ’02. This is a rerecording of the song from the compilation album Heavy Metal Thunder released in 2002. I’ve previously gone on record as saying Saxon are one of the few bands I believe have improved with age and this track serves as exhibit A for that claim. The riffs are all there, the solo is beefed up a bit and most importantly, Biff Byford still sounds fantastic on vocals. Finally, the easiest track of the pack; I’ve Got To Rock (To Stay Alive).
This is the album version, not the single edit with Lemmy and other vocalists doing guest work. It’s a relatively modern track from the band but it still stands toe to toe with some of their 80s material, in my opinion. It should be noted that these charts do have a lot of tap notes and extended sustains overall so they’ll need some editing before they’re Rock Band friendly. However, if you also play on Clone Hero, they are 100% good to go!
Next week is Video Game Singles 02, featuring some Keys charts and plenty of fun guitar patterns!
Time for another quick update!
Video Game Singles 02
Al’s Toy Barn – Andy Blythe & Marten Joustra
Fighting Johnny Vincent – Shawn Lee
Megamix Mania – Nicolas Tremblay
Here are 3 catchy video game tunes spanning 11 years (and four console generations). Al’s Toy Barn is the Country tune from the surprisingly fun 3D collectathon, Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue. There are some great guitar licks in this chart and instead of bass, I’ve charted Keys. In other words, if you want to play the violin, harmonica and piano solo in this tune, I’ve got you covered! Next up is the Blues Rock battle theme Fighting Johnny Vincent from Bully/Canis Canem Edit. There are a couple of nifty little guitar solos in this track, although the bass is pretty repetitive.
Finally, there’s post-apocalyptic rocker Megamix Mania from Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. The guitar chart is pretty damn challenging but incredibly fun if you can nail the solo shredding and tricky riffs. I’ve also chosen to do Keys over Bass in this chart, although there’s not a lot going on in the Keys chart; just a few short but intense sections of sweeping tap notes. For Clone Hero players, I’ve also included a Guitar Coop chart that blends Guitar and Keys for those wanting an extra challenge.
Cheap Trick 01
California Man – Cheap Trick
He’s A Whore – Cheap Trick
Way Of The World – Cheap Trick
Well it’s about damn time we had a bit more Cheap Trick. California Man is probably the most fun on guitar with it’s verse shuffle, chorus riffs and a great little solo. He’s A Whore is a fan favourite but somewhat of a deep cut. There’s some fantastic bass in the intro and the guitar gets progressively more challenging throughout (like all fun charts, in my opinion!). Finally, there’s the Synth Pop Rocker, Way Of The World. Despite the lack of a guitar solo and a more commercial sound, the guitar riffs in the verse and chorus aren’t too bad. If you like their Power Pop sound, I recommend all of these tracks! If you like their At Budokan recordings, I probably recommend the first two.
Next week: Nothing.
Two weeks from now: Modern Rock 01 and Black Star Riders 01!
Yes, thank you so much for the Cheap Trick pack! Their rendition of California Man is awesome, and He’s A Whore is one of my absolute favorite Cheap Trick songs. (Of course Way Of The World is great too.) Can’t wait to play them!
Hope you enjoy! I also did a chart of Stiff Competition a while ago, although it was my first ever chart so it’s a bit rusty. If anyone fancies fixing that one up, I’ll gladly help wherever I can!
Last songs of the month! Hope you like more 21st century music!
Modern Rock 01
New Day Rising – Von Hertzen Brothers
Mean Bitch – Taddy Porter
Midnight Meditation – The Vintage Caravan
All three of these songs are absolute bangers on guitar. New Day Rising may not have a flashy solo but there are plenty of fun HOPO patterns and chord sequences throughout. It’s also a generally awesome song, one that I’d recommend just to listen to as well as play. Midnight Meditation has a fun albeit slightly repetitive guitar riff and some decent little bass riffs, although the guitar and bass solos should hopefully spice things up a bit for you.
Those of you who have played Rocksmith will know just how perfect Mean Bitch is for plastic guitar, hence why I used the Ubisoft audio and tempo map (with help from WonderWaage and his tab conversion skills). I can understand why it was never in GH or RB but once again, I find myself shocked that nobody decided to tackle a custom chart for it until now. You know what else hasn’t been charted for CH/RB yet? Overlord – Black Label Society. Weird, huh? Anyway, I’m getting off-topic. I definitely recommend this one if you want some banging riffs and not one but TWO great solos (although the bridge between chorus 1 and verse 2 is done with tap notes, but they’re easy to turn into HOPOs).
Black Star Riders 01
When The Night Comes In – Black Star Riders
Valley Of The Stones – Black Star Riders
Another State Of Grace – Black Star Riders
Black Star Riders originally started off as Thin Lizzy when band members Ricky Warwick and Scott Gorham wanted to start writing new music but instead of carrying on under their original name without Phil Lynott, they chose to become a brand new band. They’re also a lot heavier than Thin Lizzy, although they still contain the classic riffs and songwriting talents of their younger selves. When The Night Comes In may only contain a few chords but my word, it’s a fun one on guitar and a catchy tune too! Valley Of The Stones is pretty heavy with some fun riffs and a great solo but Another State Of Grace is the one to play if you like HOPO riffs. I think it’s fair to say that if you enjoy playing I’m Shipping Up To Boston – Dropkick Murphys, you’ll want to check this song out too.
With one more month left in the year (and Chart-A-Thon around the corner), be sure to keep an eye on this thread for my final selection of custom charts before 2021 rolls in!
8 hours ago, ScorpioVH5150 said:Can anyone convert Wango Tango by Ted Nugent to an con file? Id love to play that one
It’d be great to see in the database, as it’s a surprisingly fun guitar chart. It’s one of my earlier ones so the tempo map might need a bit of tidying up to match the drums instead of the guitar (rookie Clone Hero charter mistake, haha). However, the vocal solo has been completed with unpitched phrases so I imagine that’s a massive time save to anyone up for the challenge!
Hello everyone! Just a quickie update.
I can’t edit the original post (hopefully this gets fixed soon!) so I’m reluctant to post too many chart updates here. However, I’m still updating this link with all my charts AND I’ve added an extra column that details the pack name as well as the individual tunes, in case anyone wants to bulk download.
I’m thinking of doing monthly Rhythm Gaming World posts with all my charts released during each month (or maybe every couple of months, if it gets too much?) but for now, here’s a little bit of news as to what I’ve been up to since November:
One More From The Road – Lynyrd Skynyrd
That’s right, it’s another album chart! The legendary live album by Lynyrd Skynyrd (that’s PRE-plane crash Skynyrd!) is now fully available for Clone Hero WITH extra tracks included from the deluxe edition. Whilst RB/GH got Sweet Home Alabama (Live) and GH got Call Me The Breeze (Live), the rest of the album also contained some cracking live recordings of classics & deep cuts alike so I went and charted the remaining songs on guitar and bass. The following songs are now playable on CH:
Workin’ For MCA (Live)
I Ain’t The One (Live)
Saturday Night Special (Live)
Searchin’ (Live)
Travelin’ Man (Live)
Simple Man (Live)
Whiskey Rock-A-Roller (Live)
The Needle And The Spoon (Live)
Gimme Back My Bullets (Live)
Tuesday’s Gone (Live)
Gimme Three Steps (Live)
T For Texas (Blue Yodel No. 1) (Live)
Crossroads (Live)
Free Bird (Live)Yep, that’s the 13 minute live version of Free Bird. Boy, it was an arseache. Worth it, though. All charts are great on guitar and there’s some surprisingly fun bass too! There are also unpitched lyrics for every track and I’ve tried to make the tempo map based around the percussion rather than guitar to make it easier to rechart for Rock Band. This was definitely a passion project of mine that’s been on my mind ever since I did the Def Leppard album in 2019 so I hope you enjoy it, if you can play it! Well, guess I better start planning December 2021’s album chart. Christ alone knows what one I’ll do next, although it’s gonna take some going to top One More From The Road.
I’ve also released some other CDLC packs this month but I’ll do a separate post for those in the future. For now, you can still download them from the first link above. Anyway, happy playing!
