Fretladder

The 100 easiest Guitar Hero and Rock Band songs on Expert vocals

Back to the charts

Ranked by fretwork’s difficulty D on the Expert vocals chart, one entry per song at its hardest part, from the official charts on the site: the ones matched to a released game or DLC. The tier is Calc Tier, D on a log scale; the percentile is where the chart sits among every Expert vocals chart on the site.

A difficulty list computed from the chart files, not a poll: fretwork reads every note of every chart and scores how busy it is, how much the hands move and how unevenly the work is spread, so two charts of the same song in different games get different numbers, and a custom chart is measured on the same scale as an official one. The pictures are the charts’ own graphs, difficulty over time.
