Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

[mikeyts]

Being able to hear yourself play the guitar in proper modeled guitar tones really does go quite a ways to show you if you're doing well. If you have interest in guitar, I think both games are worth playing.

+1. Also the mini-games are fun and good technique practice.

If you dont want your PRS I will take it off your hands.
Dude, get RS asap so you can enjoy that baby. A PRS should not go to waste.

Also check out Justinguitar.cmom to help you get better

Chords take time and muscle memory and strength in your hands.
if you have small hands its harder. A 3/4 size guitar can help with that.

Daily practice is essential.

Hearing yourself make mistakes in RS is the best learning tool to push you. The Squier mutes your sounds and so you cant learn as fast.

if you love it go for it.

RS is great

so i'm thinking about picking RS up. hoping i could get some feedback here. i've read probably 20 pages of this massive thread and found a lot of answers to my questions, but i thought i'd fire out my situation and see if anyone had any thoughts...

i cannot play chords well. that is why i generally play bass. chords kill me. that's all i'll say about that.

any feedback is appreciated...

Anyone get Rocksmith under the tree?

I did. I finally got a chance to play it earlier this afternoon and I absolutely love it.

This week Ubisoft brings us three tracks from The Black Keys including: “Just Got To Be” from their 2006 album Magic Potion and two tracks from their new album El Camino “Mind Eraser” and “Gold On The Ceiling”.

Unfortunately this marks another inconsistency where there seems to be no “Pack” and instead we are destined to shell out the $9.00 to have all three tracks… Why Ubi why do you do this to us?

The Black Keys seem to be jumping all over this rhythm game thing. It's nice to see some "indie" bands doing so.

I've decided to buy this game for my PS3. Could you please recommend where I should buy it from? I live in Europe, Finland.

I don't know if anyone has said this before or if it is known, so excuse me if everyone already knows this. Today I discovered that if you have your RS cable plugged in while you are playing Rockband, it recognizes it as a microphone. I tried "singing" with my guitar plugged into the xbox and it actually recognized it and I could try to match the pitch of the singer with my guitar.

i did NOT. it was on my list, but i guess it was sold out.

i'll pick it up on my own now, but since i'm on PS3 and i keep hearing about this upcoming patch for the PS3 issues on the game, i'll probably wait for the patch. hopefully it will also include support for bass. another price drop would be nice too, since that gamestop deal went away.

Speaking of jessica, that song's bends are brutal. That 10-12 in the main riff is a @(*$&@
I think I just have issues bending the e string since it's so thin.

I've been playing that bend a 1/2 step up from where it's charted. It just seems like it should have been charted that way. 1 and 1/2 step bend just seems too much.

The PS3 version has some crashing problems. If you happen to have an Xbox 360, it's recommended you get Rocksmith for it instead. Otherwise a patch is due in the next month or so and hopefully Ubisoft will have fixed the major bugs.
