Think you may have come up with a challenge that is a bit too tricky! Although you'd hope that chat would eventually start giving you some genuine interesting riffs rather than just trolling with techdeath. Would love to see this become a regular thing so I agree with some of the other suggestions - tuning time not included, and perhaps being able to bring up the tab if the riff is unrealistic to learn by ear...but if you do that, you then have to play it perfectly or you have to pay double.
