From what I see on Vocals, at 0:57/ measure 27, i'd suggest moving the 3^3^3 stuff to lane 2 instead of 3, to make it easier to play due to the note on 4. I'd say keep the note on 4 or move it higher to 5 to make it more consistent with previous bits.

At 1:09/ measure 32, I'd suggest making some of these lifts instead of descending on Vocals.

On Lead/Pro Lead, I'd heavily suggest using sustain gaps. It's better to use sustain gaps that are around a 16th, a 24th, or a 32nd. Plus, some pitches arent perfectly lined up on some parts, like at 0:19 where there are two chords that are descending, that were charted as 2-- 4--.

That same chord was later charted (at 0:45) as 35-- 45--

I also noticed that a few notes on Lead are missed, like at 1:05/measure 31. I'd highly suggest looking for stems or using UVR to split using AI to help with finding notes you'd otherwise miss. This could potentially also help with charting the brass at 1:44/ measure 49.

I would also recommend against using diffs to alt chart songs, and would just suggest to put the Hard chart on Expert when there are no notes being played.

Otherwise, I'd say that the bass and drum charts are pretty damn good as is

Issues fixed, some more brass notes added, pad hard charts added and fixed vocal pitches, section track fixed, overdrives extended

The hard pro lead chart was left like it was (with sustain gaps) so the brass can be optional, don't know if that would be an issue

I'll be reviewing this with today's standards of charting, so a fair bit of things will need tweaking (excluding pitch errors and lift note charting. Personally I'd suggest recharting the song from the ground up but it's up to you)

Vocals

**At 0:18 ("...Homie you..."), I'd move the note on lane 3 to lane 2 so the pattern is done with both hands.** **At 0:28 and all patterns like this ("...do you hear me, do you feel me..."), move lane 3 to lane 2 so the pattern is done with both hands.** **At 0:54 (...and tell my...), I'd move lane 3 to lane 2** **At 0:58 ("...get me, reapin'..."), Move lane 3 to lane 2, and lane 2 to lane 1** **At 1:18 ("When our pride was low, looking at the world like where do we go?"), Move notes on lane 2 to lane 1, and at "where do we go?", move lane 3 notes to lane 2** **At 2:05 ("...profit big enough to feed you..."), Move lane 3 notes to lane 2 and the lane 2 note at the end of the lyrics to lane 1**

Pro Drums

At 0:28 and parts that use the same patter, there are missing kicks and snares, and a kick should be there
(unedited)

(corrected)

At 0:37, the first snare in this pattern isn't audible and likely shouldn't be charted

It seems that the previous 8 measures were copy pasted to the next patterns, fix any issues listed here that were copy pasted

At 1:13, there are missing kicks

At 1:20 and 2:30, there are drum fills where there are a lack of notes, these activate overdrive on pro drums, if a player used these fills they'd waste overdrive

Pro Lead

**Downchart rather than just charting different instruments, especially going from Expert to Hard** **At 0:09, this sustain is too long, there should be a gap before the next note** **At 1:51, this sustain is too long, shorten it** **At 1:55, ironically, this sustain is too short** **There are numerous sustains on hard that are too long**

Pad Lead

**Numerous sustains are too long in the chart** **At 0:29, this pattern could be adjusted, perhaps being charted like this in the next image?** **At 1:29, there is a chord on Pro but not on Pad** **At 1:47, these notes are too fast and can be adjusted to be done on both hands rather than one** **At 1:57, this pattern needs to be adjusted to be played on two hands better** **At 2:07, a lane note is charted on lane 2 for some reason, it shouldn't** **At 2:13, there are numerous charting inaccuracies based on what's charted on Pro lead** **At 2:15, the patterns here need more adjusting for pad** **At 3:03 and 3:12, the stairway patterns needs to be adjusted for pad**

I'll add another comment for Pad Drums and both Bass Charts later...

[WowItsOnlyConnor]

Bass

• There are numerous sustains that need to be shortened before the next note on both Pad and Pro
• At measure 50 in expert pad bass, the high note is charted on blue, unlike all other instances of that note

Drums

• At measure 21, the chart is inaccurate to what's being played on drums on both charts
• There is a missing kick just before measure 27 on both charts
• There are missing kicks at the end of measure 34
• On Hard Pad Drums, the drum fill that leads into the main beat has a jack from having lane 5 simply being moved into lane 4
• At Measures 18, 34, 38, 66, and 70 on Pro Drums; there are drum fills that activate overdrive, however there are no notes on the next few measures after the fills, which means doing those fills would waste overdrive.
