THE Guitar Challenge 11/12 - 11/17 
Smash It Up (Part II)
The Damned
(Tier 3)
Icky Thump
The White Stripes
(Tier 6)
29 Fingers
The Konks
(Tier 1)
Crash
The Primitives
(Tier 2)
Lego Export
Here is "The" guitar challenge for the week! "Smash It Up" is an old school punk song that looks fun for all instruments. "Icky Thump" will be the most difficult track this week as it has FIVE organ solos charted on guitar, two of which look nearly impossible to FC. Should be fun, right? "29 Fingers" comes from a modern garage rock band called The Konks that sounds like it was recorded back in the '80s. And finally... a song from the soundtrack of one of my favorite movies ever - Dumb and Dumber - and our very first challenge song from the Lego export... I give you "Crash" from The Primitives! Anyways... enjoy this week's challenge and GOOD LUCK!

Damn... doesn't seem to be too much interest in this week's challenge. Perhaps the DLC picks weren't the best. IMO, they are pretty fun, especially The Damned and The Primitives. I must admit that Icky Thump is a little ridiculous on solos 2 & 3, but short enough not to cause too much heartburn. I'm pretty sure the Konks entries are probably mostly old scores from long past. I didn't send out a mass email this week as I didn't think anyone was probably reading them. Let me know if you find those messages are convenient or mostly annoying. ANY feedback is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, other than the Bangles track, next week's DLC isn't looking too spectacular. I wonder if HMX will pull out another surprise like they did last week.  |

I actually like AFI and am looking forward to this week's DLC ;D
I think the mass mails are great as reminders, they don't bother me at all.
In general maybe the challenges could focus more on songs with fun guitar charts (not necessarily hard) that someone wouldn't mind playing a few times in a row. Some songs off the top of my head that I would love to play are: The Way It Shows, Undone, Pigs In Zen, Scraped, Love Spreads.
As far as this week's DLC picks:
Smashed it up - I don't know this song, and didn't really like the sound on the preview. I'll likely go ahead and pick up tonight anyway.
Icky Thump - Yeah, this song thumped my butt good. I played it a couple of times and didn't even come close to hitting the crazy solos.
Crash - I haven't picked up LRB yet...trying to hold off until it goes on sale.
29 Fingers - Yeah... Good thing this is short.
Oh, and by the way, you're doing a terrific job organization the challenges. Keep up the good work!

Hey Neoflux... thanks for the feedback. I REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate it. Very awesome.
Definitely check out Smash it Up. It was surprisingly fun to play, IMO. I checked out the music video when the DLC was first announced and was like, WTF, but the guitar chart has a good variety of stuff and the song is definitely growing on me. I believe it is pretty fun on other instruments as well.
I'm going to wait to see the charts posted on the rockband forums before I make my decision for the next challenge. Miss Murder isn't too bad and I hope the upcoming AFI offerings are good. Any particular song to look forward to?
Anyways... thanks again dude.

I really like Leaving Song Part II & End Transmission. They'll probably be low tier on guitar though. Medicate might be the hardest track on guitar and that's not saying much. Too bad PS3 doesn't get New Fang until Decemeber  |

I think Neoflux3000 pretty much owned this week's challenge. If it wasn't for the lack of Lego exported songs, he would have easily taken overall victory. Does the point system seem fair? Or should I make any adjustments? Either way, nice job on the other scores!
My home PC is currently down, so I had no way of transferring the pictures of the leaderboards and editing them for the standings. I hope to have it back up for next weeks results.
As always, great job everyone and thanks again for participating! If you have any comments/complaints/suggestions about the recent and future challenges, always feel free to let me know. I'll certainly take special requests! Stay tuned for next weeks challenge.
