Not gonna lie, looking at Brandon longer than 45 seconds feels surreal.
It's a very strange experience.
you weren't around before he started doing shorts, huh?
You should watch him getting drunk
At the 0:46 mark.. JUST LEAVE!!!
Not an og
As a guy who started on Rocksmith, the best way to learn songs after you get comfortable with the guitar is to do 100 percent difficulty, then start the riff you want to learn at 50 percent speed, then keep cranking it up.

how long have you been playing? where would you rate your skill level at? I've put nearly 200 hours into rocksmith 2014 at this point, and while i have seen improvement, i feel like i must be doing something wrong, like If someone asked me to play for them, i would have to just tell them nah lil bro
@@hunterhollingsworth9058 not wanting to play in front of people is pretty normal, especially for someone with only 200 hours. Rocksmith is very bad at training timing though. When I started to transition from Rocksmith to playing in my school band it took a lot of work playing with a metronome to get my timing. Rocksmith unintentionally teaches new players to use visual ques instead of listening to the rhythm section to stay on beat. If you wanna be more confident playing in front of people id try to find some cheap lessons near you and let a professional hear you play since they're not really gonna care how you sound, they'll just try to help you sound BETTER.
@@hunterhollingsworth9058 778 hours here on rocksmith i can solo and everything and still dont like playing infront of people lol you either confident at that type of shit or you not lol it might change just depends on you i will say around the 300 hour mark i felt like i wasnt improving at all so i took a long break from rocksmith learned some tabs some other shit you cant get on rocksmith and just practicing technique that helped the most rocksmith is great just dont make it your only learning tool i found that i can play a song perfectly while watching it on rocksmith but cant play it from memory rocksmith makes you lazy
@@hunterhollingsworth9058 this
so Im gonna real quick point out that this is a marketing attempt to get eyes off the fact that rocksmith just updated to a more subscription focused model and are using this to try and drive the narrative away from that justified backlash
They also just announced a price increase from $14.99 per month to $20 per month.
I have no interest in this, so no dog in the race, but if it really has 7,500 actual songs by the original artists, it would be impossible to sell for a reasonable flat rate. Someone else mentioned they used to have crappy covers.
ya but if u are only using it to learn songs, tab reading is about the same difficulty, so it only really works for a specific kind of beginner that only wants to learn to play a few songs they like, in a more visually stimulating way than tabs (theres nothing wrong with this btw), not someone who is looking to learn an instrument, but I feel rocksmith tries to make itself out to be more like a learning platform and charges "accordingly" when it just fundamentally isnt, not only that but with the sub model and the way songs and licenses go, songs will come and go from the platform depending on licensing disputes, and ubisoft is already known for killing all servers related to their games, including offline games, effectively preventing people from even re-downloading a game they bought legally, that the company just no longer wants to pay for.
TLDR: Imo, ubisoft has shown themselves to be untrustworthy in their industry, which is making games, not making music education aids, and theres better much more free ways of learning, which are honestly just as easy if only a little less colorful
@@cuthbertallgood7781
What do you mean "just" it's been a subscription focused model since September 2022.
@@cuthbertallgood7781 Guitar Hero was the game with bad covers. Rocksmith always used masters for official releases. The problem with RS+ licensing is that they have a ton of music available but not all of those songs are charted. Community members (aka the players) can create their own charts but there's no incentive, and no guarantee that the songs will remain available. Chainbrain had a couple good update videos on the state of RS+ that I recommend checking out.
I just wanna say as a teacher you are one of my invaluable resources to keep challenging myself and to keep learning.
Rocksmith+ die due to the subscription model paired with no guaranteed library. The song library can change at any time. Rocksmith two thousand fourteen was amazing with its c d l c. As long as I keep digital copies I will never lose my song library.
I've been using Rocksmith for a hot minute it's a fun game but I would definitely recommend letting it have the adaptive setting instead of setting it to a difficulty because it will adjust to how often you're missing notes and how often you predict correctly
Having played Rocksmith for years, I'd recommend the opposite. Id set it to always be 100% difficulty and then slow things down in riff repeater to learn it. Trying to play along to only part of the track was very disorienting for me. And you potentially have to relearn fingerings as more notes get added which is counterproductive.
@@brtd90 see I look at it as a challenge to play without looking at all times
You know you’re old when u hear that Wake me when September ends is a classic. WTF
@@brtd90same
He called Wake Me Up When September Ends a "classic" oh fuck oh jeez I'm so old
I’ve got nearly 1000 hours in Rocksmith 2014 and while there is a slight learning curve to associating strings with different colors it’s been a fantastic way to learn my favorite songs. The game will automatically change your guitar’s tone to match the song throughout, so you can just focus on playing the guitar and if you hit the right notes on time you sound just like the recording. Sometimes I’ll use a different pickup on my guitar just to standout a little more from the recording if I’m feeling it. Riff repeater is one of my favorite features as you can slow the song down and gradually speed up as your accuracy increases, which makes learning complicated solos or getting your timing just right on chord transitions much easier. R14 had video lessons and exercises that are made into pixelated arcade games but honestly haven’t played them much. This game doesn’t replace a real guitar instructor but it’s the perfect addition for helping you practice and improve. I love Rocksmith 2014, because you bought the game and each song or pack of songs once AND get the REAL song that was yours to play. Unfortunately R14 is being discontinued and replaced with Rocksmith+ which has a subscription model 🙄. I mean they kept a lot of the great features from the 2014 version, but you don’t get the REAL song recording in many cases. They’re mostly cover versions of the songs which are pretty good but it’s not the same, and there’s my honest unsponsored review.
Yeah I've got 2014 physically and downloaded on multiple drives just in case. It's just so good
Are you employed by ubisoft, or why am I reading the same comment under each of these promotional videos?
@@dan_kay Cuz Ubisoft is pushing this out to content creators and tbh they’re not able to give you a comprehensive review. My message is R14 is far superior to Rocksmith+ especially since R+ is a subscription model 🤮 . Also, I saw they just increased the price of the monthly subscription for R+ 🤦🏻♂️.
And no I do not work for Ubisoft, I’ve just invested a lot of time into R14.
About time you tried!
I started guitar through Rocksmith 2014. I remember slaving over the riffs in the lessons for like 15 minutes just trying to learn about 10 seconds of music. I no longer use it much at all as the song library is limiting and it's much easier to actually practice the stuff you play vs sightreading everything.
That being said, If you play an hour of Rocksmith everyday for the full 60 days, I'd be surprised if you couldn't learn 3 songs in that time
One of the things I wish was standard in guitar tab is a faint color separation between the treble and bass strings.
For beginners - it’s good them to be in contact with other beginners
Have been thinking about getting rocksmith + so this have been very helpfull, thnx
I've had it for years, it's fun.
@@Lance37a ahem, it just released.
Woah, just found your page on Skool and realize we live in the same city, cool!
If they add Hendrix, I’m sold.
Are you playing using Bluetooth headphones? Bluetooth introduces lag that makes syncing with the track nearly impossible
the biggest hurdle is learning how to sight read rocksmith, I have to fight looking at my fretboard and looking at my screen
Very well done 👍
Those bursts of rage are son on time! 😂
Tried this but don’t have a PC and the phone version was way too small. Rocksmith 2014 on the Playstation with the direct cable is pretty nice though…have to pay for each song pack though and they supposedly disabled the ability to get it anymore digitally.
yes.... and no..... ubisoft no longer believes in game ownership and has moved to a subscription tier model now that they updated the game to actually come with the original features they said it would and some original songs
@@AnthemUnanthemed been rumoured for ps5 but doesn’t seem like it is coming anytime soon. Rocksmith+ on phone was pretty average compared to the old 2014 version on the tv.
Loved the vid Brandon 😂
Fortunately , all my friends are OFF THE FOOKIN CIGARETTES!!!!
EPIC
I think you might have a bit too much latency from your bluetooth (I presume) headset to play this game properly. Maybe try wired earbuds cause it seems like you're hearing the music delayed causing your inputs to be delayed. (not 100% sure)
Alright Alright, I'm off the cigarettes! Praise God!
The input detection on Rocksmith could be hit or miss. Which is another reason to not skip the tuning: you just want to be sure *it* thinks that's the exact correct pitch...
Hair products reveal at 600K subs!
Can you make a video of re stringing a guitar for a noob on cigs??????
Potty Mouth Canadian gets a gold star...because everyone is a star! Yay! Much rejoicing throughout the land!
I would be discouraged from playing guitar if it told me how much I SUCK every time I used it. Perfection is sometimes the enemy of the good.
When bruh has his guitar face on at the beginning he looks like blonde Patrick Bateman
Get it on the PC and get a rocksmith cable
I appreciate ur review. Have a sub
If anyone is curious why youtubers are suddenly covering this game/service after having such an awful launch its because they finally have the actual songs, not just covers that sound like they belong on kids bop
People should avoid it until they get off the sub model and start posting songs for sale again. Let me at least have the false sense of ownership.
also because they just changed the pricing model to a subscription service and are getting backlash
plus, the full rocksmith 2014 with all the dlc is out there.....somewhere@@adamekcar
Damn, you took down the scammer comment so fast I didn't have time to 🧌 him.
@@adamekcar yeah reported that instantly
Oh this is interesting
i got you guys with rocksmith 2014 + all the dlc if you guys want it. reply and ill send a link
Buddy at this rate we’re lick if we get 5 vids a year from this guy
He has been pretty quiet on the channel lately, is everything ok with him?
Rocksmith 2014 remastered is way better. If you use rocksmith you need to use the real tone cable for the computer as well. It's like guitar cable but it plugs directly into the computer. It reads the notes better. You are missing the notes because the app is garbage.
Can you do Rocksmith+ on a laptop or pc?
Yes ypu can. RS+ is multi platform with a roaming profile so you can use any platform with the same progress
bro I'm watching this video going with 5150 views, that's sweet
Bro I put myself on the wait list twice an u never sent me anything for next step you told me a spot opened the 2nd time I emailed back u never responded bro smh
When is the pro guitar teacher showing up?😂😂
This bro has to be born in 1999
Turning music into a video game. Bollocks.
I started with Rocksmith 2014, put about 600 hours on it before going tab and amp. My problem was that i wasn't memorizing the songs, I was just getting used to looking at the screen like i'm reading sheet music. But Brandon, ngl, I would not recommend rocksmith+ to anyone. They just hicked their subscription price, and they don't even have that many metal bands on there. not worth. I'd sooner play Rocksmith 2014 and download custom songs than this garbage. Ubisoft really pisses me off, but i'm not even angry.
youur a pro grifter great job
exactly
Told you it was time to take on sponsors!
looking like I will be on the 365 day plan lol
I recommend looking into how to get RockSmith 2014 even though there isn't on steam anymore. So many features are missing from Rocksmith 2014, and the song library is volatile. I'd rather tell someone to pirate a now abandoned game then pay a subscription for least then the previous product. Or take my words with a gain of salt and buy for a few months instead of the year plan. I only say this because there are reports of Ubisoft charging even when people canceled their 1 year plan after deciding to drop it.
Maybe you should have used the tuner... Ya never know sir.
Rocksmith tuning is often a bit off. That is likely why you're missing so many notes.
It gives you the percentage of the song played. If dynamic difficulty is on and you only play 50% of the song, you only get 50% accuracy.
@@oridotexe No shit. And if it thinks your out of tune then it does not register the note as played.
Marty clearly set a trend with this one. I played Rocksmith as a noob guitarist. It really doesn't teach you it gets you to learn how to repeat things
Maybe if you already know music theory and have some experience, it can help you to learn new songs in a fun way. Idk, never tried it, just guessing
For the most part, yeah, it wont teach you anything unless you do music theory or are just really into the songs, but playing guitar is still building callouses, speed, strength, and dexterity. Knowing a lot about guitar is important, but if you're building those callouses, it makes your job learning down the line a whole lot easier. I haven't used rocksmith, but if it gets you to play guitar for any amount of time in a fun way, then it works in my book.
Basically the guitar equivalent of the Piano Tiles game
Rocksmith 2014 is goated. Way better than this and was around when brandon was a beginner cos there was one before even that!
The issue you're likely experiencing is that you may have fallen out of rhythm with the app. It's annoyingly easy.
Pro guitar teacher would have taken this seriously. This video didn't help me on if this is better then the other 2 Rocksmith titles.
3:21 That's ok. As we all know, Sting is impossible to understand.
had to dig up an old Xbox 360 just so I could load up the old rocksmith... they made a crappy product with a subscription and then shut down access to the old games...

People playing Rocksmith sounds awful, not you, everyone. I'd like to hear your genuine opinion about it as a learning utility when you're spaced further from the advertisement, 'cause I'm pretty sure it doesn't teach music, and I'm certain that if you need a game to motivate you to play music, you just aren't going to be playing music.
100%
You hit the nail on the head. There are so many apps and games for learning musical instruments and it's all bullshit. There are no shortcuts. Stuff like this will only make you sound robotic. It will not teach you the most important things in music: how to listen, how to play with feeling and a sense of rhythm, how to phrase melodies, etc. The whole concept behind games like this is utterly unmusical. I really don't understand why people buy into this nonsense.
this is not how you play cowboys from hell 💀
Uhm guys chy to freddy fazbear?
Can you even trust a company who doesn't offer their products for every type of Mac that has ever been built and every type of OS from the beginning of time until forever ends?
No, you can't.
click bait... the video says "pro"
The doo spanx u
Don’t hurt yourself patting yourself on the back too hard. You’re not a pro guitar teacher dude😂
rocksmith 2014 is way better but they took it off steam
The app's cool but I'd rather stick with yousician...
Rocksmith 2014 CDLC beats them all
@@xBlackShadowsZz fax
Rocksmith 2014 remastered (PC version) is a way better value. their tone cable cost as much as the game. A 3rd party cable was $13 vs $36. plus those cdlc songs have better arrangements and more variety of songs. I haven't even played it in a long time to be honest. would be more fun if there was a multiplayer versus or something. or some kind of collab thing you could do with it.
RockSmith 2014 remaster was unlisted and you can no longer buy it on PC. The only way to still play 2014 is if you buy a second hand physical copy of it for the Xbox or PlayStation.
What a horrible app. Those animations drive me nuts
Pirate Rocksmith 2014 Remastered
Download CDLC
Don't pay for this poor excuse of a "game"
Do yourselves a favor don't get rocksmith+, get rocksmith 2014 instead.
Brooooo you should've done waaayyy better!! You on the cigarettes?!?!?!😂😂😂😂🚫🚬
Wow Rocksmith+ looks like a steaming pile compared to Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014. You'd way way better off not using Rocksmith + especially considering there's a monthly subscription maybe your money would be better spent on guitar lessons.
Oh wow another generic guitar teacher with an asinine personality and no originality. Sums up the old adage "Those who can't do, teach" perfectly.
And those who can't teach, teach gym.
@@TylerLL2112 The only class this guy could teach is self masturbation. I thought MusicisWin was one of the most punchable faces in the guitar sphere. This clown is like the Logan Paul of guitar.
I love most of your content but this shill of a review is below what I have come to expect from you. It is a scrub and overpriced app and you know it Brandon. Next time please say no to the sponsorship and tell us what you really think of this stripped down and awful version of Rocksmith 2014 Remastered. Btw they also just upped the cost 5$ USD + per month and have completely delisted RS 2014 , boo Ubisoft .
"Pro guitar teacher" i know embellishing titles is the sellout strat for UA-cam videos, but you gotta have some self respect.
