hey yall I made this one 3 years ago and just updated it to reflect majority of CDLC guidelines, and touch up some wrong notes.
I'd appreciate any and all feedback on it! https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1jQX2mxP3R1IfJbCDbpluisw_4BZz9wbY

overkill with the staccato chords as separate handshapes/ crazy. I'd probably just make the first 2 separate handshapes then make the last 5 the same handshape and showing repeats with accents

can you also start adding sustain lengths to all chords

it would look a lot better

too short

try at least 1/16th note length if not 1/8th most of the time for sustain length

depends on the context of course

maybe it's just me but I'm moving to FHP4 there for that 4E then play the 7 with my pinky. then FHP3 for the 3E

seems a lot smoother doing something like that

first of all I don't think stretched FHP zone here is the right choice. but besides that, make that pickslide chord fingerless status first off. also remove the chord name (in fact you'd be best off changing settings so that double stops are not given chord names automatically)

we don't need to see fingering for pickslide using 2 strings

second of all I think you need to do something different with handshapes

like mark a short handshape in the beginning of the pickslide then repeat for every back and forth between fret 22 and 12

something like this short for the handshape, just the first 16th note grid length or so

then you have to repeat that since it's an up and down pickslide. I've actually personally never charted one like this

you've got auto fingerings everywhere where they should be barred fingers

everything is fingered 2-3

Think the FHP in general needs more tweaking too in a lot of places

stuff like that G5 in the 3rd + 4th screenshot shouldnt be shifted to that FHP

overkill here again with the handshape (crazy note) grouping

just keep these chunks together and use accents

of course up ahead for that next chunk you should separate that but keep the first chords that are closer together without resetting the handshapes

I don't think any of this section is hammer ons they all sound picked to me

missing some sort of FHP change for this slide

some of these open string power chord parts have a stretched FHP zone that don't need it try to reset the FHP for those so it's just 4 frets wide

and again, overcooked with the crazy/ new handshapes there. be very sparing and careful with how you use that, there's way too many chord boxes showing throughout the song where it should just be repeats

I'd like see that one again after some reworking 🫡 if you're still open to my feedback of course lol. It looks like in some places you spent a lot of time and put in some work and overcooked and in other places you undercooked (FHPs, fingerings)

[brisk tangle]

you are objectively correct here

[brisk tangle]

got it

[brisk tangle]

can I just do this and increase all of them by 1/8?

[brisk tangle]

100% correct thank you. where is that setting?

[brisk tangle]

gdi on multiple occasions I have tackled this and put barred fingering accordingly, dont know how they keep sliping through

[brisk tangle]

so it should be 3 and 4 instead of a separate one for 7?

[brisk tangle]

will look into that

[brisk tangle]

got it

[brisk tangle]

I kept doing handshapes to get rid of the sustain to indicate staccato ripppp. is there a reverse notation for crazy like to specifically make it not show?

also sorry for spam. tysm for the feedbackl

[brisk tangle]

?

[brisk tangle]

you're right about the hammer-ons part

[hoary ferry]

yeah I think that looks better. as long as there's not a phrase change on measure 22?

[hoary ferry]

why wouldn't this part be all one handshape though 🤔

[hoary ferry]

yeah I think that also looks better

[hoary ferry]

It might be missing from recent EOF updates unfortunately but check for it it should be here:

[brisk tangle]

Good point

[brisk tangle]

Yeah I think it's gone

[hoary ferry]

😢 damn

[hoary ferry]

I'm not sure I'd recommend doing that as a blanket function but depending on the song you might get decent results as a start? idk

[brisk tangle]

I did it as a blanket function and it does look better

But def will learn when and when not to

[hoary ferry]

yeah I guess just keep an eye on that. It's def an interesting function I didn't consider

[brisk tangle]

@hoary ferry I think I fixed everything you mentioned, I'm not sure about some of my chord handshape and sustain choices, would like ur feedback again pls!

[hoary ferry]

hell yeah this looks much better now

getting picky here but this last palm muted chord before the tremolo 1A could also use sustain

this looks a bit better too, if possible can you

1. remove the chord name (open the note dialogue with "n" then add a space for the name so it's " ")
2. make some of those handshape markings a little shorter? (first one looks like a good length as well as the 3rd)
3. make one additional handshape for that last 22nd fret location?

if this is barred with finger 3 then FHP should be one fret higher, at FHP2

or you should change to pinky and keep the FHP at 1

same for a bunch of chords throughout

starting to look better here though as well for sure

much better

you could probably make that 2nd chunk a separate handshape tbh

something looks a little off here, kinda looks like there's a FHP change to FHP4 at the end of the slide out when it should just be placed on the next chord, right on that C5

awesome though that's it for the lead from me, thanks for implementing all my feedback I think it looks way better and if you adjust these last things it should be good to go

taking a quick look at bass, it seems to play fine, but any idea why the first phrase looks like this in the skyline?

there's no orange or purple in it, makes me think there's not a section placed along with it or something

looks like you do not have an empty measure for your count phrase

so that would be why

kind of important

probably just best to get in the habit of adding 1 empty measure to whatever tab you import if you are using a guitar pro tab and importing

before your first import

that way you don't have to deal with this issue later

you can add 4 beats now with the push offset back function in EOF menu at this point

I'd question some of these sustains on the open red string since they are less than a beat, I don't think they are needed, and they did stick out to me

should be FHP change to FHP4 on the 4E after the slide

same here, not sure how many more times this will repeat

also not a fan of that short sustain on the 1E

sweet and that's it for bass, pretty close and reasonably charted, I think the tweaks I suggested will be easy and help with the final polish of it

did a quick glance of rhythm and it seems like just implement any relevant stuff from my lead feedback and it should be good 👍

[hoary ferry]

pretty sure that should be an unpitched slide too, unless you meant to make it linked

[brisk tangle]

Yeah pitched was on purpose by the way it sounds, I thought itd look awkward without unpitched

[brisk tangle]

Valid

[brisk tangle]

You're right

[brisk tangle]

Yeah when I was playing it earlier I felt those to be suspect as well, especially considering almost the exact same riff was charted with sustains in the song

[brisk tangle]

No, thank u for all the help! It's all rly appreciated. I want shit to be as good as it can be

[brisk tangle]

Forgot the chord name shortcut, will get rid of them fs.

Will take a look at the sustains, the degenerate levels of sync I needed to match a non-quantized group of amateur kids means a one size fits all solution is gonna need some tweaking

[brisk tangle]

Rough day trying to get in the mind of guitarists that don't use their pinky LOL

Okay and will add the feedback u said to the rhythm and bonus lead chart

Glad to hear it's looking much better now!

I'm in the hospital for a few weeks tho so when I get out I'll probably hop on it

[hoary ferry]

sounds good no rush hope you are well and everything is ok

[hoary ferry]

yeah but unless it's linked to a note we shouldn't be using pitched slides at all, which is something I didn't learn until this year

[brisk tangle]

Oh interesting

[hoary ferry]

like if there's a target note and you want to link it to that before the next picked/ strummed note that works but never pitched slide without being linked to a target note

yeah I did it wrong for years
