Introduction
Hello! I'm Wagsii, and I like to chart songs for Clone Hero! I make charts for all sorts of music, but my favorite genres are Metal, Melodic Death Metal, and Dubstep. I've even made a meme or two. Okay, I've made a couple but that's actually not the main thing I do. The point is, I do a bit of everything. I specialize in guitar charting, but I've dabbled in pro drums as well. You can see what I've made further down the page.

Commissions and Requests
I like making charts I know people actually want just as much as I enjoy charting for myself. I've done one-off requests in the past, but I've been doing commissions lately, which makes me far less likely to even have time to take requests. You know how it goes, Supply/Demand.

Rules

 * 1) Commissions will be discussed over private Discord messages, and screenshots will be taken. Misconduct from either you or me could result in disciplinary action in the Clone Hero server. My discord handle is Wagsii#7420.
 * 2) I reserve the right to refuse any commission or request. Requests have a higher chance of being refused or met with "I'll only do that song for payment." If you attempt to send me money before I've accepted, it will be declined.
 * 3) I reserve the right to post the charts I make for you on my YouTube channel. I also reserve the right to not upload it to YouTube if I don't want to. If you don't want what I charted for you to be searchable on Chorus, let me know, otherwise it will be.
 * 4) Ripping audio from YouTube is typically frowned upon, but I'll do it if I can't find high quality audio anywhere, you can't provide it, you don't want to pay me extra to buy it for you, and you're okay with it. This is a rare occurrence.
 * 5) I will be allowed at least two weeks to complete each song in your commission. If I can't meet this guideline, I will inform you. If the extra time isn't agreed upon before payment is received and I do not meet my deadline, you will get anywhere between a 50% and full discount.
 * 6) Clone Hero commission rules state that part of the payment should happen before work begins, with the rest of the payment upon completion, with exceptions to returning customers. However, the more renowned charters that are allowed to be on that list charge more, and often by the hour. Since I am not on that commission list, you may pay me entirely up front to avoid extra PayPal fees, or we can do half before work starts, and half after it is completed. Either way works for me.
 * 7) You can request any specific charting styles you wish. For example, no open notes.
 * 8) If I send you the completed chart and there is something wrong with it that you want fixed, I will do that free of charge. However, if you request a change in style that I didn't know about ahead of time and will take significant effort to fix, I may charge a small additional fee.

Commission Pricing (in US Dollars)
I will only accept payments to PayPal or Venmo, which will be provided after talking in Discord. My discord handle is Wagsii#7420.
 * Base Standard price is $3 per minute of the song. This automatically includes full difficulty lead guitar, a background image, and in most cases, lyrics. It is my personal standard; I almost always chart full difficulty. You may request to not have some these things to get your chart sooner, but I will not discount you.


 * Base Premium price is 2.5× the standard. This includes any extra work beyond my standard, such as any other instruments or a background video. Please note that drum charts are not my specialty, and bass is often very inaudible. I will often opt for a rhythm track instead of bass, but of course I will ask about your preference. My drum charts will not be an inaccurate mess, but I cannot promise perfection. However, my drum charts will include pro drums. If the bass is too quiet and I can't find any kind of reference for how it should be played, I unfortunately cannot chart it for you.

Note: These are base prices. If I feel like your commission will require significantly more effort than the average song, I may request more. Adversely, if I think your commission will be extremely simple, I will not charge you as much.

This pricing is based on a couple things, but essentially, I wanted to average around $3 per hour of work. I also looked over the commission spreadsheet pinned in the Clone Hero discord for the game's most renowned charters (found here). These charters will make your commissions with a higher level of accuracy while spending less time doing it than I do, but they will charge more, and they should. They are the best charters out there. With me, you can still get a very well done chart, but I am not trying to imply that I am on par with them and therefore am charging less. While I am not currently a verified charter, I definitely think I can chart on that level and hope to be verified soon. Check the links in the section below to see my work.

My Content
You can find downloads to all my charts here. They vary in quality, especially the older ones, but they're all definitely playable. You won't find anything disgustingly poorly charted in there. These charts are also linked to Chorus, so you can search for them there too.

I also have a [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC42wJET8hoMgdeRnbkt_ndQ? YouTube channel] that shows previews of nearly all my charts.

Below is a table of all my charts. If the instrument doesn't specify the difficulty, it is Expert only. FD means Full Difficulty. The NPS column is the average Notes Per Second.

Published Charts: 71

Completed Commissions: 10

My Charting Journey
Technically, my first interest in charting began as pencil and paper when I was in middle school. I tried to write out how I thought Sad Statue by System of a Down should look. My first charting experience came from making about 15 customs using GH Mix 2.0. You know, the "charting software" that was part of the Guitar Hero 5 and Warriors of Rock games. That was a whole different ballgame because the notes themselves actually produced the sound they were making, so you not only needed to get the timing right, you had to know the exact pitch of every note. I was still using pencil and paper for this, writing down the pitches and note placement on the lines of notebook paper and then copying it into the game, because fixing mistakes on paper was less tedious than fixing them in GH Mix. Eventually I got tired of the same Warriors of Rock songs and making my MIDI sounding customs, and stepped away from Guitar Hero for a few years.

But Guitar Hero has always been such a passion of mine and I couldn't walk away from it completely. In early 2017, I bought a GH3 guitar bundle for PC, and spent hours upon hours trying to find information on modding GH3 for custom songs, as well as how to make them. Clone Hero was still in its infancy at this point, and I had no idea there was even still a Guitar Hero community or any actual charts that were still available for download out there.

So my first real charting experience was in FeedBack. I had no idea Moonscraper even existed. And if you've never used FeedBack, be thankful, because it looks like this. I charted my first five songs this way, learning the rest of the basics of real charting that I didn't from GH Mix, like syncing. Although, one of those charts got corrupted and erased (Crystallize by Lindsey Stirling), so only the first 4 videos on my YouTube channel are made in FeedBack.

In early 2018, I found the Guitar Hero community through Twitch, and quickly discovered Clone Hero and Moonscraper, which I've been using ever since. Since then, I've learned a lot, even how to do pro drums. Now my goal is to become a verified charter.
