Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

[raynebc]

So anyone want to comment on songs now that we've been playing for a month or so? I hate the Jenny O song with a passion.

I also hate that song, as well as that Kings of Leon song. I never really listened to much Muse, but I have to say that "Unnatural Selection" is my favorite out of the disc's setlist so far. Other than those, I haven't felt particularly strongly (good or bad) about the other songs.

[Funk-n-stein]

Yeah, I'm in the same boat, I was never a big Muse listener and the Muse people on this board didn't exactly win me over to the band, but I do seriously enjoy playing Unnatural Selection. I love the middle slower section with the slides and bends. Can't say that it's my favorite, because I still have probably only played about 1/2 of the songs so far enough to have a solid opinion.

At first I hated Gobblidigook by Sigur Ros, but that one has grown on me as well.

I have been too busy the last week and 1/2 to give the game enough time.

Most likely the RB3 Squier as that guitar doesnt bend very well/if at all as it wasnt intended to since the lines on the fret wires (from the finger sensors) impede your bending process and since its not smooth RS most likely knows you are not bending enough or not smoothly enough to count it as correct
borrow another guitar to try it and see if it registes your bends

Bends. Yes you reminded me. Cannot get these to work. I can hear the bend and it sounds right. Not sure if it's me or the RB3 Squier.

On the RS forum they said you had to hit all 3 notes - initial pre-bent note, the full or half bend and the final normal note back down after the bend; which on some fast bends may not leave you much time to do it quick enough to count.

Post a video if you can of your hands and the screen so we can analyze

I love all the Black Keys songs but on Tighten Up the xxx789 chord is not cooperating.

Interestingly enough, I tried that song on my Tele last night (had previously only played it on my SG) and the chords registered much better. Not sure what the deal is as the output of the tele pickups are much less than the SG. I haven't tried switching pickups on the SG to see what happens (I usually play with the bridge pickup.)

[Doom878]

That settles it. Someone get me a Tele or an American Strat.
