Why a friend gets different songs

Two players who both know G, C, D and Em:

Player one

Likes plain downstrokes
Wants to sing
Needs a moment between chords

Working it out…

Player two

Likes down and up
Doesn't sing
Switches in time

Working it out…

A single difficulty score can't tell these two apart. How the matching works
