Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

I unlocked all but three of the games by playing their associated technique challenges. Apparently you have to unlock the others by qualifying songs. Anybody know the songs requiring the lowest scores to qualify?

If you just start on the Journey you will unlock them rather quickly as it seems to give you the easiest songs first.

Would we see some Pink Floyd on this game? Songs like Money, Comfortably Numb, and Another Brick in the Wall Part.2 would make awesome additions.

definitely a band we'd love to see/play in the game too, so stay tuned

Oo, also positive from this site:
Menu wise, yes, we know we can do them better given the time and having gained so much knowledge from making this 1st title.

Edit: Also mentioned they were looking at fixes in an upcomming patch for menus, and a whole lot of other good info in this talk session. They also mentioned they're going to try to see if they can get the actual forum manned by someone. So glad they had this session.

Bend down meanin if the string you need to bend is on the 6th or 5th string you have to bend the string towards the floor not the ceiling or else the string will fall off and over the side of the guitar neck, On strings 4 thru 1 (D G B e) its easy to bend UPwards towards the ceiling/your face but not on A5 or E6 (thickest)

is that better/clearer? sorry

I don't understand what you're saying here. How would you bend down? If you mean physically bend down the game can't tell. If you mean bend the note down, do you mean bend the neck? I hope not. I've taken the bend pitches to mean more like " half bend" or "full bend"

I dont remember in the lesson about bends thern showing a different symbol or doing a 1/2 or full bend

look at the icon in the mini game
one is curved up and one is curved down (concave vs convex)

The two types of bends are a full pitch and a 1/2 pitch bend. If you listen to the tones as they play before you swing, this is reflected.

exactly

I thought the downward bend graphinc was just for the low strings since bending up would take you of the neck!?

IN other news, anyone get the impression RB are gradually dropping pro guitar? 21 tracks this week and 1 pro chart!

maybe because those were not new songs but instead re-released all the old packs into one big pack and adding keys

Ask them anything :

When RB 3 came out, I really wanted to get a pro guitar badly. Had the launch not been botched, I would have at least picked up a Mustang if they would have been available. (I'm an impulse buyer and would have dealt with my wife complaining about yet another plastic guitar). After reading the bad reviews on it and not wanting to add another plastic guitar to my already large collection, I decided to wait for the Squier. The price became a problem. I had that thing and the MIDI controller in the cart at Best Buy. When my wife asked what I was doing, I told her I wanted this guitar so I could learn and play on Rock Band. When she found out how much it cost, she asked me if I had gone completely insane. We argued for awhile, but she made sense. Why on Earth would I pay $300 for something that I wasn't sure I would play? She was correct in that I would most likely get frustrated with it, put it down, and have another addition to the pile of Rock Band stuff I have but never touch. So I gave up. After reading the reviews of the Squier and how poorly its made and performs along with RB's less than stellar teaching mode, I'm glad I listened to her.

Over the summer I won 3 electric guitars at Six Flags. I have 2 Superman themed and 1 Batman themed. I bought a small used amp at a resale shop and to my surprise, they actually work. I had no idea how to play them. I figured if I didn't sell them, they'd look cool hanging on my son's wall someday.

Then came Rocksmith....I love this thing. My guitars work fine with it. I'm learning how play chords and riffs. I'm having a lot of fun with it. After a couple of days my wife asked me if I was learning anything. She was skeptical about Rocksmith, but it was only $80 vs. $300. I played the opening riff to "Satisfaction" from memory. She was surprised and impressed.

I wish Rock Band 3 would have had this instead of its proprietary guitars. I would have bought a used guitar to get into it. I've had a lot of fun with Rock Band, but I've spent way too much money on it over the years.

If u guys didn't read the link bass is coming 2012. They will patch soon the 5x practice run limit. Initially they were rejected by artists prob because of the button guitar rep but now that they see how the game is some have called ubi.

Now I'm having problem with 1st and 2nd fret when tuned standard. I should've unlocked master mode by now for In Bloom but those two frets aren't working.

If the intonation is correct, you may be pressing down too hard on the strings, which would cause those notes to ring out a bit sharp. If it becomes a constant issue, you might consider thicker strings.
