    I thought Rocksmith+ had some great guitar lessons for beginners, and all abilities really. It's a cool way to learn guitar after a break as well. Guitar learning software has changed so much since I started playing guitar and I was a bit skeptical as to how well these tunes would translate into picking up my electric guitar sound. It took my a few plays to 'teach the old dog new tricks' but I'm now honestly jealous that this didn't exist when I was doing my first electric guitar lessons.

    Displaying the low strings on top is a no no tho, just keep the same orientation as tablature. The power chord looks like a minor third, pretty confusing.

      If I'd have used this Rocksmith+ I'd have been more confused than using the "Guitar Handbook" I bought in the 80s , a few friends to exchange riffs with, and mags with tabs . I knew some great players for tips and the desire to play. The guitar was confusing enough without mastering a video game!🎸🎶✌️

As far as Rocksmith as soon as I got rid of the latency it became a game changer for me. As a guitarist of 25 years this is absolutely incredible software and is expanding my musical genres as a musician and after years of stagnation it’s driven me to explore outside of my comfort zone.

    As someone who learned playing guitar in the 80s (yep, that old), I understand new toys make sense for new generations. Though I find the visual aspect overwhelming, and honestly. I learned by listening. You know. It's music. Listen to it. Try to duplicate whatever is being played. It is NOT about 100% accuracy (you get there with some exercises and a metronome). It is about getting a feel how players play. And work on your own feel and identity as a player. On the other hand. If it makes people play, good.

    I feel like if you're watching a screen you can't learn where your fingers are. Also dots scrolling down are not a good way to improve learning. Music tabs are a thing since 1500 more or less. Why not gamify that specific thing

    • @beandon24
      @beandon24 8 місяців тому

      Yeah strange choice to stay so closely resembling guitar hero -I could barely see what’s going on. I literally already learn songs by playing alongside GuitarPro tabs, and having a gamified version of that seems way better. (As well as having options for doing the same with sheet music). I would eat that up, this I’m not so interested in.

    I had Rocksmith once for PC.
    There were songs that I knew how to play. But Rocksmith started with a few notes and simplified chords. So I played the song as I knew it, but Rocksmith noted it as wrong. It was so frustrating. So, then I played what was indicated by Rocksmith and it didn't feel like playing the song at all. It doesn't feel "natural".

      Also, Rocksmith is wrong with guitar parts. Some parts are played by another guiarist in a band.

      @@Guitarprincess284 I know.
      I guess I did not explain myself correctly. For example: Satisfaction, the song, started with playing 2 notes. That does not give the impression that you were playing the song. Then notes were added, but still not what is actually played. So, you still not played the song.
      The problem was that if you did know how the song is played, that Rocksmith penalised you for playing it correctly. That was the point where I lost interest, and I did not think that Rocksmith was a good tool to learn to play guitar.
      Listening to a song, have a tab sheet with you, and learn how to play it, was better in learning how to play guitar. In that case, you hear what it is being played, can try to figure out yourself what is being played, by not looking at the tab sheet, and actually learn to recognise minor and major keys, which chords are in that key, and start learning the neck of your guitar.
      For example: Teen Spirit by Nirvana is in 2 different keys. That is something that Rocksmith did not teach.
      I get that it is interesting to be able to play some songs for a campfire setting. But that is not learning to play guitar.
