I did what I could to try and get the lead accurate, but it could definitely use someone with better ears checking it over. Rhythm and bass should be pretty simple. Tones might still need some more work too.
#[FINISHED] Joyce Manor - Make Me Dumb

Added handshapes to the main lead melody thing to indicate keeping frets pressed down and updated bass fhps after closer examination of live footage.

Hm I see you've got this in 12/8 time signature but it's actually in half the time it should be so it's a bit problematic
doing this should get it where it needs to be
seemed to fix it on my end. let me play through te chart though. there's something weird that I can't screen shot or seem to find why it's happening when importing to EOF
right near the intro there's a first finger animation that flys really fear down the fret board randomly
I felt like the choice of when to come back on these strums for the lead combo arrangment is a little off, maybe a couple stums later? try to come in on a logical beat/ measure start for that I think
the clean is a bit loud I think the tone change in the chorus is jarring. the intial lead tone could probably be a bit louder too and/or tweaked in EQ in some way
should be a phrase change/ split here
I only caught the screenshot near the end on the way up, but here's evidence of the flying first finger animation lol
oh i see why
you have a ghost note fret 1
sure you meant to add finger 1 and accidentally added it as fret 1 too instead of I think fret 6 on that ghost note
some of the first notes are a little out of sync/ not on the right grid... I can tell very easily once I doubled the BPM and changed the grid a bit
here's how it looks now, after double the bpm and changing grid to 1/8 for the purpose of this, let me see if I can show you how it should look once I fix them, one second
more like this, I'd probably handshape that first 8G with the 9B like I did here too not sure why it was left out
should make a lot more sense in 12/8 once the BPM gets doubled

Think I addressed everything you pointed out.

Very nice I’ll look at it again asap, I’m out at the moment though. It was otherwise pretty close and well set up so I don’t see it being too far from being finished 🫡
low summit
Lot of improvement, I think the lead is really close! these 6Bs though I think are wrong I'm hearing 8B?
so if you have an extra tone slot I'd switch to a low output clean tone at some point in the fade out
the tone is quite loud at the end. If you don't have a free tone slot then you should probably cut the notes off earlier
but unless I'm wrong you have one more free tone slot

Lot of improvement, I think the lead is really close! these 6Bs though I think a...
same issue in the intro here

Bass: little thing but I think it would make sense to shift to FHP2 on the 2A and leave it there for the 4A, instead of shifting to FHP3
bass seems good otherwise
chilly epoch
I did it based on how it looks like he plays it live https://youtu.be/FYmEljXcfE0?si=O-jGM-STVZz08lur&t=72

mkay then I trust it 🫡 just thought I'd mention the part that seemed weird to me but of course do it like the artist
chilly epoch
Yeah I don't really like it either, but when the video's that clear...
I made the other changes, I just need to actually boot the game to work on the fadeout tones, which I might do in a little bit or wait until tomorrow.
low summit
sweet! gotta be very close now my notes should be easily adjusted, you noticed those 6B notes were definitely off right? 8B should be right unless I'm tripping here
chilly epoch
I really struggled to figure out what they were, so them not being 6bs makes sense. The 8bs sound more right when played with the following 6e
low summit
yeah I'm confident in that change
chilly epoch
OK I think unless there's any other little inaccuracies with the lead this should be good? The low output tones I did for lead and rhythm sound fine to me.
low summit
is this the same spot I pointed out? if so I might have told you the wrong string. these 8Bs should be 8Gs
that's my bad if so but it's currently still wrong just on the wrong string
chilly epoch
Yeah actually that does make even more sense. I guess I was overthinking it to have them as anything else in the first place. If that's the only remaining issue, would you say that fixing it gets me ready for a 1.0 release?
low summit
yeah it does that's all I think needed to be fixed
just double check it sounds good, looks good, all the fingering of the handshapes there and all that
and it should be done
chilly epoch
Yeah, I'll play through it at least one more time before I post it
Thanks for all the help
low summit
my pleasure, cool track, good work on it!
