you have way too many notes in a single handshape, you need to seperate them every time the fingering or chord shape changes

#

you should have immediately seen that something is wrong here when the FHP zone was stretched like that

#

every time a fret/ finger changes on the same string, you should not really ever be including it in the same handshape, you need to either put those notes outside the handshape or start a new handshape marking group

#

it's a little more complicated than on a guitar pro tab where they'd simply mark the notes as "let ring" and leave it up to you to visualize and group the finger/ chord shape changes

#

our job is to actually show those finger changes by grouping each shape individually with multiple handshape changes

#

so even in this first part, you need to change handshapes after the 14B note and on the 16B note, then again shortly after to change back to the 14B note

#

Phrases seemed pretty reasonable to me, Lyrics seemed fine too I think. I'd probably add an apostrophe to "til" make it " 'til " instead but that's a small detail.

#

I'm happy to look at some more of your charts in feedback but I have to go to work today. If you can wait a couple days before posting I'm sure I can get to some this weekend

#

happy to give some advice and help you with figuring out how to handle the handshapes in this song too, I think it may take a few tries to get it right

#

Thanks for the feedback! I think i actually fixed the handshape thing in the new version but forget to actually add the new lead path to CDLC Creator.

Do i exclude the 16b by making it a crazy note or is there another way?

#

I also tried to switch up the handshapes but ingame that did not really look good

#

I can wait for sure before uploading the DLCs, just maybe mark the ones you would like to give feedback on than i will wait with the songs.

I'll try to test it in game later but I can comment on a few things now: dont forget that handshapes shouldn't end directly on the note head... you need to add some sustain on the last note of the handshape, then mark the handshape, then remove the sustain

#

I'm trying to decide how the approach the handshapes on this song. It may be a case where handshapes are not even wanted - the notes don't really ring out over each other, they are clearly defined and played one at a time seperately

#

the other problem with the handshape is where it changes fingers and frets in the same string: from 14b to 16b

#

it doesn't look particularly good to include both of those notes in the same handshape because your fingering literally changes, so that won't be displayed underneath if it's all grouped together

#

the problem is though the change back and forth is very fast so our options aren't great as to how to deal with that. we can maybe leave the 16b out of the handshape like this:

#

or maybe we can switch back and forth between handshapes like this. note the additional ghost notes I added as well, so that the full handshape can be shown in each handshape group even though those specific notes aren't played in that group

#

that allows us to see the proper fingering shown underneath

#

or again maybe it would be fine without handshapes since they're not supposed to be ringing out like a normal handshape implies. I'm not sure about this either though since it seems like less information for the player and might make it harder to read

#

I think if you go with handshapes in that part though, you probably want to go with something like this for this other part

#

the FHP doesnt seem to fixed there either though. you need a FHP change on that section

#

something along these lines - change to FHP16

#

be very aware of when the highlighted FHP zone in game stretches more than 4 frets wide

#

that should be rare or at least intentional

#

can you also change the album name to "It's Blitz!" ? it's best practice to use the full length album a song was released on so it collates with the other songs from that album. You even used the right album art for the full length album so better change it to the proper album name

#

i think i will actually go without handshapes

#

i will check how it looks ingame

simple otter
#

hm ya i tried both options and i thinks its actually not beneficial with the switching handshape

#

think this part looks fine with handshapes but i think i would leave them all together than
