Both my sons under 13 learned guitar from Rocksmith. Thank you for making this game! 1 hour a day for 60 days = 1 year of guitar lessons.
Rocksmith helped me out on some things, but my guitar teacher helped me more, so me and my guitar teacher + Rocksmith = very good skill
I'm not a very very good guitarist yet, but I'll be there on that day
Plus I'm the first person to comment you after 2 years XD
@@legacygacha234 Keep at it man. I just perfected Sultans of Swing for the first time today. Not that that's a huge achievement, but it's way more than I ever thought I'd be able to do :)
I'm not saying this is fake, but this guy is really comfortable on camera
Haha too true! 😜
I'm playing the game now, It is definitely helpful. I've been playing for many years, mostly simple chords for songs. Always wanted to do something with lead guitar, but never really knew where to start. And maybe thats the best thing about Rocksmith, it gives you a definite place to start and grow.
Yeah this actually got me back into guitar and you can even download custom songs on the pc
Maybe he's an extrovert vs an introvert
Sad fucker calling themselves Bruce Wayne is stupid.
Why do all these people say they don't play guitar but they just have these nice ass guitars just sitting around
+Justin Crawford Thats an epiphone sg. Its around 150$
+Justin Crawford They're probably gifted those. You have a kick ass name BTW.
+Justin Crawford That epiphone he has is a 100 quid guitar its because its epiphone though they are alloud to replicate Gibson guitars that come with "grand price tags because they are owned by gibson.
***** no its because thats the sponsor. & you got an epiphone with the game......
***** I have watched all of them actually. They dont all claim they had a guitar before. They do claim they have tried to learn guitar before. Also this is an advert for a game that is sponsored by Gibson & epiphone. They are not going to have them playing other guitars because its against the sponsorship contract plus it would likely get them sued by other guitar manufacturers. Plus there is the fact that Epiphone is super huge brand with beginners and intermediate players.
if you made a video about a bunch of people learning to play acoustic they would all probably be holding an ibanez.
'I haven't seen my guitar in 2 years' *strings are perfect*
Some people have in the case you know, like I have 2 guitar and the second one I haven't used in YEARS but the strings are perfect, but then again it is an add they don't want to use some ghetto cheap ass coiling around the head of the guitar, you know?
+IthinkitsaDanny oh piss off.
Ambient Lmfao, Took you 2 years?
if you do not exposed them to environment then it will be okay.. im living in tropical country (weather can be harsh).. had an acoustic laying around in cases for 6+ months at least and the strings are still in a great condition when i open it.
Is that because you change them during the moment saw the guitar strings
Quick tip for mastering your instrument: Play because you love to play and not because you want to boost your ego.
i want to play be able to Play under the bridge by RHCP even listening to the song gives me Goosebumps i want to play but cant i just Bought a Guitar today and will be getting rocksmith next saturday
is he that guy from brazzers..
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha looks like it
LMAO
Dammit now I cannot unsee that he is Johnny Sins
He did say he hung out with h many girls.....
Jonny Sins.
I have been playing 2 months, my son got an electric guitar for Christmas and i decided at the age of 50 that i would give it a go too, had some lessons and really love it, seeing small improvements each day is such a thrill. I don't know why some on here are so negative, i wished i had started 40 years ago, it doesn't matter what method you use if you enjoy playing a musical instrument that's all that matters if Rocksmith introduces people to playing that has to be a good thing It seems you get the same kind of reaction when discussing guitarists, it doesn't matter who's best, enjoy the music.
"I am going to go get my guitar out" Hey buddy.. Did you look in that mirror?
that's funny, I missed it the first time I watched.. good eye
Hehe
Kai BurnsThe neck profile is like exact.
That's an SG headstock in the mirror for sure.
That's called video editing. He is there to promote the game not really to prove he has a guitar in its case. I might have taken it out days before to test the game. And the advertisers just asked him to follow a script. You think they rang the doorbell, got in with cameras on the shoulder and rolled the ad? Are you seriously that dumb? That is STAGING.
At 0:09 if you look in the mirror his guitar is already out.
Nice catch
Man, NasalData that is hilarious I see that. So what should I be thinking now. That's sad and the game is being shipped to me now.
That's the games guitar I think? He ment his own guitar, hence the amplifier ontop of it. Unsure tho.
NasalData ILUMINATI CONFIRMED
Hahahah
I bought an epiphone les paul as my first guitar, I'm an adult and can afford it. I also started playing this game about 8 months ago. The best thing about it is it puts the guitar in your hands, two hours will pass very quickly as opposed to following instruction out of a book or a weekly guitar lesson. With the confidence this game gave me I signed up to guitarjamz marty schwartz and now I can solo over backing tracks. So I have to strongly disagree with anyone who thinks this doesn't help. If you have music in you this will help you find it and bring it out. One of the best and life changing things I've ever bought. (i will often practice for 3 hours so I'm sure that helps)
I found Rocksmith really good to figure out a few basics. I tried first playing guitar in 2008 and couldn't do a single thing. All I know is after around 40 hours on Rocksmith, I can plug my guitar into my regular amp and play some tabs. Obviously I'm still learning but Rocksmith really helped me through the awkward beginning when everything is overwhelming and you struggle to hold the most basic chords. Myself and so many of my friends quit guitar over the years after a few days because it was so overwhelming but thanks to this game, I learned enough basics so it wasn't scary looking at tabs to play. I'm also having fun which is the most important thing unlike back in 2008 when it wasn't fun at all because it was so confusing.
5 years later, would you recommend using rocksmith to learn the guitar?
There's no fucking way this guy is 32.
Dan Bowmen maybe he partied like a rockstar BEFORE learning guitar
haha i made this comment so long ago. This makes me want to play rocksmith now.
@@danbowmen4180 how did it go for you? Also this guy is 42 now. Man i hope he is shredding happily now. All i want is to be able to improv.
I first saw this video and all the other 60 Day Challenge Rocksmith stuff last year mid September. I had a guitar that I never learned to play sitting in my house for 20 human years (I'm 36). I bought Rocksmith and played everyday for just 15-30 minutes for 60 days and then re-watched the videos and realized I was on the same skill level as all the people in them. Now just after five months I am playing about 1-2 hours a day. Don't dismiss Rocksmith as a valid teaching tool because it is a game. Six months ago all I could play was an open E chord, now I can actually play guitar and bass guitar enough to impress friends and family.
Nice. I'm thinking of getting it. I just recently got a guitar and i can barely do anything with it.
I'm hoping that this helps.
yojohnyyo
Definitely get it. Practicing guitar is torture at first because it is so frustrating. Rocksmith actually makes it fun but challenging.
yojohnyyo
+3 I got it on February 1st and other than my guitar ,this is the best money I have spent. And for every one wondering if you can learn to play for real or not ,I can plug into my amp and play Monster by Skillit and its not even in the game. And I did not play at all before this game.
I've never played guitar before a week ago, I've always wanted one and finally got one. I learned slipknot left behind in the first week, and then last weekend I got rocksmith and now I can play Alice in chains stone, maiden trooper, and r u mine all without using the game for more help. I'm not trying to brag, I'm just really confused how it takes some people so long to get good at it.
Thred assasin well I'd hope I am lol, I've always been into heavy metal and I've always wanted to play it
Been playing bass on rocksmith for about 5 months now. I have musical background on saxophone, but that's completely different from bass. It's truly amazing how good I've gotten on bass in five months. If there is one suggestion I have to newcomers, it's to practice with your own amp often. It helps you get a better tone and lets you figure out your own mistakes, which is an extremely valuable skill. And if there is one thing I could say about the game, it's that I think it should try to teach you note names, even though that's pretty easy to learn on your own.
If there's one thing I noticed about the people that only play Rocksmith, it's that they mostly donwpick. It's okay, but having someone there to guide you is important too. Having bad habits in the beginning is gonna hurt later on
+UnicornSlaya Alot of these people probobly arent paying attention to the tutorial sections as rocksmith had me dwn and up strumming after my third day and I continuously reminded myself to do it at every chance.
So its really more about the person. Everyone picks up bad habbits and I would say not strumming fluidly to position is probably one of the easiest to pick up
downpicking is more badass when appropriate though
Rocksmith is amazing! No experience whatsoever at 23, '13 days' into the 60 day challenge and I have most songs past 50% mastery :D Is worth it if you have a reliable axe! that's my 3 cents.
Dear rocksmith crew
I really like your 60 day challenges
Maybe you can make some more videos of it?
Thanks a lot
Victor desmit
my guitar just sat for many years too...but rocksmith changed that... so thankful to rocksmith...
It's not an awful way to learn guitar, but you always want to start off learning your chords, switching between them, and learning your pentatonic scales before you start playing songs. Knowing how to play songs is cool, but knowing the real essentials of guitar allow you to do much more than that.
Rocksmith is an utter crap for people like me I've learned to play trough books and paid online tutorials so far I am doing better that the rocksmith thing, it just gives you a push to practice the guitar, so basicly it's good for beginners, well for me... I refunded the game because I am always confused where do I need to put my fingers on the fretboard and i can read tabs because it's easier for me,
And the lessons are useless for me also.
Yes I also feel i didn't really learn from it... you do sharpen your techniques but I think you do that as well by just playing from tabs and learning to plays songs that way. But like you say, it gets beginners more into guitar and that's a good thing
The best part of this particular success story is the fact that at the end he is playing the guitar and is barely looking at the screen. He "knows" the song, he "knows" the chord progression that he has to play and that shows that this game is not only awesome, but also effective.
I'm a guitarist myself, and recently I picked up an electric guitar again (played electric for 6 years, acoustic for 2). I came across this game and I figured I'd try it out, since I've heard mixed things about this game and honestly, this game kicks ass. Its challenging, even for myself, but its a lot of fun.
I'm an old school guitar player and I would recommend Rock Smith to every body having 300 songs in my head its easy to loose track of every thing, its always nice to go back to basics plus practice makes it better.
Wow this is so encouraging! I have been struggling to learn guitar even with a teacher direct lessons for a month so this looks promising for slow learners!
now if they can make this foe the cello i love the sound of that thing
I want to say this thank you for getting me where I'm at Rocksmith all my life when I was like 6 years old or 10 I couldn't play the guitar by learning on the TV but this actually was a great way to practice and learn guitar thank you for getting me where I'm at I love my progress and I'm happy where I'm at 🙂🙂🙂🤘🤘🤘🤘
That's the oldest looking 32 year old I've ever seen in my life.
Hahaha, thank you. I IMMEDIATELY stopped the video to see if people have commented on it and I'm glad to say I saw a bunch.
Thought the same thing 😂😂😂
Same same, I rewound it to make sure I heard him right.
lol, i actually said wtf when he said 32 haha
You have never seen 32 y.o. Slavs. They look like theyhave 50+ years old
I havent played this but bought it for my friends 15 for xmas. As a guitarist for 15 years I think its awesome.
I'm starting my 60 day challenge in Jan 2018. All the parts are ordered, and got Rocksmith on Steam's Winter Sale. So excited to start. I'll be streaming my challenge on Twitch.
Before buying Rocksmith I was watching these videos to make a desicion on whether or not buying it. Now after a few months of playing Rocksmith, these videos makes a lot more sense.
Got the 1st edition and it works!
You should try this challenge with people learning the bass also. I feel like that would be an amazing thing to witness.
Rocking on Rocksmith
Haha. I love the way he holds the power chords. :D We all started like this,but after a year or so you get really good and Rocksmith really helps you at the hardest part;picking up the instrument and learning the basics. :) I can't wait for the new game!
32?? this dude looks 45.
an old 45
I have the game and I recommend it to all new guitar players. It helps alot
Lol I live in Stockton CA too I just bought this game along with my first electric an affinity strat
I love how literally everyone in these videos has an Epiphone guitar, what a coincidence
Same guitar!🎸🤘🏼😄
I bought this for my 9 year old brother for christmas
Can't wait to see his face when he can actually play his guitar
His guitar has been in his closet for 2 years and it just happens to be an Epiphone... What a coincidence...
Isn't that the one that comes with Rocksmith when you buy the guitar included version?
Coincidence indeed....
@@psycold I know I'm late but no. It was a Les Paul Jr. The SG special is a little pricier.
i dont play guitar but casually have a epiphone sg in my cupboard haha
Dacaisen J when you have a job that pays money it's easy to spend $150-$400 on a cheapy guitar and just kinda forget about it. That's the miracle of being an adult.
Its just one of the cheap sg specials tho
Dacaisen J you’ve also never held a job before so it’s not surprising that you’re surprised.
@@kgreggbruce1552 Or maybe he doesn't like to waste money?
I taught myself to Play years ago and just recently bought a very nice Yamaha,I make my own music with my ears,I play with what I'm feeling when I pick up and play,of course some day I hope to play as good as malmsteen or vinnie Moore
I will have to say, I too have Rocksmith 2014 and it DOES WORK. It's cheaper than guitar lessons and it's just fun to play. I never really knew how to play the guitar before, I could strum a few notes here and there but to learn how to play is amazing. For the beginners, I recommend Rocksmith 2014, it will start you off slow usually one note at a time for Lead. The more you progress (even while you are playing) the more it throws at you. It will challenge you. I love this game....I just wish I could still play it though. My dog ate the cable for it =(
Im a big fan of Rocksmith and totally agree its a great way to learn. I would encourage people to learn more traditionally as well though, Rocksmith does its best to teach good form through the lessons but you may need a teacher just to not build bad habits that will hurt you in the long run. Maybe take a few starter lessons to get going, then Rocksmith would be a great tool as well!
I've been playing guitar for a year and now I started rocksmith is good but different I found the mini games helpful to learn where the notes are without looking at the fret board which I needed help with good range of songs to practice but sometimes the notes don't pick up which makes you deflated also it doesn't say how long you should practice each section
I love this game it's Awesome
i was only able to play half have a song (holy diver) befor rocksmith 2014 but after 3 days hanging out in a friends basement I can now play symphony of destruction (rhythm)
As an example, I myself a part of the "post-Guitar Hero" crowd looking to actually play real guitar. I tried briefly back in 2007, but I gave up after 3 days when I didn't know what the hell I was doing and my super-low-quality guitar bust the whammy bar and strings.
Fast-forward to 4 days ago. I picked up and Epiphone Les Paul Special ii and a copy of Rocksmith 2014 for PS3. Even after this short a time, I've mastered a song (granted, Blitzkrieg Bop is the easiest song on the disc, but progress IS progress), started training my fingers to stretch properly for chords, gained a little bit of muscle memory for the frets, and understood most of the basics for playing guitar. Again, that's 4 days in, from absolutely no worthwhile experience.
I understand that this isn't the most ideal learning tool for more advanced players, but it is absolutely perfect for beginners like me who want to learn how to play. It really helps get you over the massive hump of awkward confusion when you pick up a guitar for the first time.
Hopefully, I'll be reading tabs like a pro in June.
did you make any progress?
How does this thing work, i have an Xbox, so do you like connect the wire jack in the Xbox?!
I've bought the game and i have to say WORTH it TOTALLY WORTH IT even if 1 dlc costs like 3 dollars.
After 1,5-2 years of playing i've played more than 500 hours i've finally reached a moment when i became able to play not just only the rythm part of the songs but also some simple solos, so i'm happy with that :-)
The first day of playing rocksmith I just played paint it black and walk this way for me it's a little taped out differently than I learned
Got my first two guitars on my 13th birthday, and played them for about 3 straight years and got pretty decent at it. Gave up around my 5th year due to school, work, and just frustration (I'm very impatient with everything lol) I'm 20 years old now, and my acoustic is just collecting dust in my room. I'd very much like to play, but I hate playing with my parents constantly listening in on me play (I get horrible stage freight, I'd rather play alone) but anyways, even though I can pull a couple of riffs and songs from my memory bank when I jam with a friend, I would love to learn at the pace again like when I was 13. I think rocksmith would be the tool to build my confidence and help me re-learn everything. I wanted to play guitar because I love music, and I regret giving up on it, but I know I'm not the only one who has done the same thing I've done.
2:56 that looks like a cool way of doing it.
Jones Fan 😂😂
i got a schecter omen 6 with active dd pickups, but i noticed quite a lot that it does not register mistakes frequently, i could be playing a g chord when its asking for e and it wont pick up the mistake... has any one had this problem??
Well it has now been over a month .
My thoughts are this yes I can say if you never played before It can help you out a bit.
I got very frustrated with the one finger one string until it got to know that I did know the cords.
Love the video. Casey is 3 years older than me though, and he looks like he can be my dad.
He's 3 years younger than me and looks like he could be my dad, heh.
I had a BC rich warlock & a Jackson Randy Rhoades V sitting in my garage/closet for over 19 years. I've taken a few lessons but it's expensive. This game is something...different.
i wonder how many hours a day these people are playing it in the 60 days.... i have the first rocksmith and i love it.... and no it doesnt simpily teach you how to play songs thats just the main staple.. it has chord lessons, harmonics training. scale training it covers everything... it has videos showing exactly how to do everything.... one of my faviortte things about the game is it turns your stereo into just about any pre amp/pedal/amp configuration you could ever ask for so you can jam on free mode with any sound you want without having to buy all the expensive gear
i have that exact same guitar, even though it's cheap, its still awesome
Yes the Epiphone guitars are bundled with the "complete" purchase option. They did this with the original version as well. Smart move on Epiphone's part retaining that contract. For the record I don't think these people are faking their "starting level" abilities. Watch the eye movement between the guitar and screen. Folks that are beyond the basic level would be less inclined to look down at the fretboard as often. Really cool software, I can't wait for my sons to start using it.
i am thinking about getting this as at the moment i play tab and memorise what i play ..... So are you saying you can turn rocksmith off and play an actual song from memory or is it just guitar karaoke ?
nice share
There are many ways and methods to learn playing guitar. These days I found many youtube tutorials, But few months ago, I attended a course named Jamorama guitar lesson on getstartedguitar.com where I initially get free e-books and than CBT's based training program.
It's true that the game has delay ??? I want start to play guitar but I don't know
I played drums for like 4 years, and have played on and off when I could, I picked up a cheap guitar but ive only really been able to play power riffs, ive jammed on it but everything I come up with sounds like bad punk music lol
I like videogames and I'm thinking about picking this up as a tool to force me to follow a structure,ive tried youtube tutorials but I loose interest because I'm ADD as fuck.
Should I get it for my ps4? And if I do how does it connect?, its on sale digital on ps4 but I need some kind of adapter?????
What if you want to play the acoustic guitar? Is this only good for learning to play the electric guitar and electric guitar songs? Thx!
If this gets you into playing as opposed to not playing, then go for it... I would hlwever recomend following it up with a few months with a teacher (once a week) who can direct you and make sure your not developing any bad habbits.
Very very cool man. Yea it challenges ya. I love it and never heard a lot of the songs. Did RS 1 too. Thanks for sharing that. I do wish it recognized if you haven't played the song in a while and lightened up a little but wtf. The game is killer. Good video, thanks again. (edit) As far as technique? there are plenty of the top players on you tube to teach that. I did skip over that section on RS. Was fortunate to get lessons from one of the greatest ever over 30 years ago who changed what I was doing. I just love this game cause it keeps you tight and introduces people who want to play to play in a fun fashion. Thanks once again, have fun.
Did it help you play solo after leaving the video game?
There is no way he is only 32.
I always liked the sound of the guitars in all of my Metal songs and I got a guitar but didn;t know about Rocksmith before. I tried to learn online with an online teacher. I failed after a month didn;t learn anything. Sold the guitar. Now I see this and I really want to learn to play for fun. Is the game worth it?
I'd say it's an alternative way of learning the basics, and it's worth it if you really want ot learn it
My only tip is: don't limit yourself. Get information elsewhere too. There's a TON of things Rocksmith just doesn't teach you, a good example of this is that even with "perfect" playing, your song will sound like shit if you can't do proper muting of the strings you aren't using.
But it DOES teach you the basics. Just take its evaluation of your bends with a grain of salt, it has some trouble recognizing them sometimes
Oh, I see what you mean. So true. Just like how "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones was pretty much the first song that everyone played.
I would like to take a challenge :)
"Ayup! And welcome to Callums Corner. Today we're going to be playing this spazmoid of a game, Rocksmith"
Good for you! question - on average how much time each day would you play/practice? tx
+Rob Weaver I believe they said somewhere that they go for 1-2 hours a day :D
Which type of guitar should i start off with? Les Paul, Stratocaster?
your choice but id recommend a cheap guitar if u r new. whilst u r learning the to play u will bash the strings etc until u get the hang of it & find the correct way to pluck etc. first guitar i ever played was a second hand beaten up thing, as i progressed & my technique improved i upgraded.
Great job man! These comments are hilarious though 😂
What about correct picking? Picking techniques? Fingering techniques?
Well it actually covers that stuff in video lessons in the game.
Hey will my 1994 Fender Stratocaster Fat Boy American Deluxe work on this game? :-)
all electric guitars work
:/ 32? He looks like he could he my dad and I'm 28...
The meth, bro...
Hey i hear so much about this being shit but i LEARNED how to play the bas s on this, i can agree the EG version is just like advanced guitar hero but the bass alllwed my to impress people by the songs i memorized, from there i learned to play straight from ear and free style. Its a good game for begginers, you can learn everything the game doesnt teach you pretty fast. I would say faster than a tutor, and at least when your do e you will know enough rythem and cords that yoh ca make music everyone can enjoy :)
God I love SGs.
So how much practice did you put in each day? Does it teach you how to 'read' music?
+TE S you don't need to learn how to read music to play songs. ive been playing over 20 some years and never needed it.
CADE O SUPORTE PARA PORTUGUES UBISOFT????
after 3 months my real tone cabble wont stop buzzing how do i fix it? and before you say its not the gutar because it dosennt buzz on amps
Palm mute the strings. My rock smith does it as well but when I cover the strings it stops
Steveguy124
but he problem with that is some song requir pam mutes and some dont so it dosent count if i pam mute wen im not supost to
The game cant tell if you're palm muting or not, it only recognises notes, and as a G note is still a G when its muted the game will still register it.
full scale guitar? the guitar that comes in the kit is called an epiphone junior .. difference being pickups and stuff.. it is still a full scale guitar. but i could be wrong
do I have to go out and buy a epiphone guitar or can I use my on own which would be a Ibanez?
You can use whatever guitar you have. That's a great thing about it. I'm hoping to start playing it myself when my real tone cable gets here in the mail.
I am using a cheap Les Paul Knock off (a 45$ guitar) and the game works beautifully. It also works just fine with my expensive Ovation.
Were all the people doing this challenge only allowed to play certain songs? I've seen 3 of the videos and they all played the same songs.
I can say it's true I never played guitar and I started with rock Smith and here I am six months later and there isnt a song that I can't play
60 days: plays "walk this way" riff perfectly accurate
Looks plausible
did he play every day?
How did this guy come out alive from Stockton?
Just wondering if they can do solos, can play the song but can they play solos like eruption of Van Halen?
at 60 days most likely not. I don't know anything about rocksmith really, but I would say if it's in there, they could probably learn it.
Leroy Butts They could definitely get the tapping part down in 60 days.
Can you use bass with this? What instruments can you play for rocksmith?
elektric guitar, Acoustic-elektric and bass :)
nice thanks :)
you're right. les paul junior. just one less pickup. they are great guitars.
I tought he was in his 40's lol.
Hello guys,
I've never touched a guitar in life until i bought mine two days ago.
Do you recommend this for total beginners?
Should i ditch the idea of having a personal tutor?
I need your HELP!!!!
+dahmi saeed
Here's the plan which I used and probably experienced player who has played rocksmith would Recommend.
1. Get yourself tutored, either privately or a group its your choice.
Basically this game teaches you songs the most Easiest way possible and that is through experience.
The game won't teach you how to hold the guitar, how to keep your fingers pointed and some tiny things which
make a lot of difference to your playstyle and the way the tone would sound.
2. The game doesn't teach you through notations (musical Notations). Its just like a rhythm game but the results
are seen on your actual guitar playing.
3. Rocksmith is the fastest way to learn guitar. Definitely, no doubt about that, but the lessons taught by a music
teacher are very valuable, don't ditch them.
4.Learn with your music teacher and Rocksmith simultaneously. It will make a proper guitar player.
In conclusion I would definitely recommend rocksmith 2014 but not the Rocksmith (the older version). Dont ditch the coaching from a real life music teacher.
Hope that helped. (Pardon me If i have grammar mistakes)
+dahmi saeed I've never played the guitar before, i picked this game up and just 2 weeks later I'm able to play some songs all the way through. I would highly suggest it
+dahmi saeed Went from an absolute noob to a decent guitar player in a month, highly recommend this game
play the game don't waste time on people teaching you this method is great its how I learned
did you ever figure out your situation?
I think all these videos are cool. But I've yet to see anyone play one of the games tunes... while just jamming to their iTunes or mp3 player. Definitely a cool way to leaarn. Haha my first song I learned was smoke on the water on the high E string hehehehe
"Girls" says the man with the cat clock in the back..
I don't think you could learn to play in 60 days, the only way that would work is if you already had some guitar experience under your belt.
That aside though I have to admit it's not a bad way of learning songs, and most of all just having a bit of fun. The only problem I really have is the lack of a proper tab system. The system it's using is a real pain in the arse for me, though that's in large part because I'm so used to traditional tab. I don't really understand why they couldn't have included a more traditional style layout since that's what a lot of guitar players will know how to use. I suppose most problems are just going to be down to adjusting to a different way of doing things than I'm used to with guitar.
I utterly love the riff repeater, exactly the same as taking chunks of a song and slowing it down in audacity (assuming you don't turn down difficulty) except that you can just flick between sections nice and quickly. Though it would help if you could also just isolate a section of song in tab form and just learn the phrase without it moving around.
You can actually have it like guitar tab in the game all you have to do is invert the strings.
The account is named Rocksmith 2014, but this was posted in 2013🤔🤔
