  • We saw Rocksmith at E3 this year and Ubisoft sent us an advance copy. Brandon challenged me to a duel to the death on the electric axes on Blur's Song 2.

      when you study something you know which things are subjective and which are not.. and i know technical guitar skills are not subjective, so its not a matter of opinion.. for a hobby, i wont say freddie's playing is ''bad''.. but he lacks the motor skills to be a good guitar player, which can be trained, but you know when someone who's learning guitar is a natural.. and he's not.. i was surprised though, i was expecting something worse, and of course i enjoyed it :D (sorry if my english is bad.. i hope you can understand)

    • @Darkvalentine333

      Badi Really, because i know guitar pretty well and I disagree entirely. I also enjoyed the video but i think he has the makings of a good guitar player. He did just fine. Plus, its actually really Hard to tell if someone is a natural simply because we have no idea how seriously he took this AND its an extremely easy song. im not saying he IS a natural, but i AM saying theres literally no way to tell from this video.

      No, I could tell he knew how to play. If not, then I would be truly impressed with his acting ability... but he isn't even an actor, and I can tell when ACTUAL actors can't actually play. I played for long enough to be able to notice a faker, and its so obvious... Fingers are not on any semblance of a note, strumming is stiff and awkward looking with an inconsistent tempo... and despite what people think, even pros still need to recheck their finger position occasionally to make sure everything is still where they think it is. Hell, sometimes I put my hands on my keyboard shifted one key to the right, and it even has a bump to help prevent me from doing that :P There is no tactile feedback with finger positioning, even blind people put bumps on the neck for reference. You really have to know at least the basics to have any idea how to fake it convincingly.

    They pretty well are. It teaches you how to hit different surfaces with sticks to make noise to the beat of a song. Expert has every note except for the quietest ghost notes and left kick notes. As someone who learned through the game and is a somewhat successful drummer, it's like the real thing.
