Rocksmith discussion thread - New real guitar game.

I thought the point of the guitar unlocks was for tone changes in the freestyle mode.

I've not noticed different in-game guitars making differences in the tone in freestyle mode, but I haven't tested that possibility thoroughly. Personally I would prefer that it didn't do that. I want the guitar I plug in to sound like the guitar I plug in, which seems to be the case.

Anyone use the RB Squier with Rocksmith?

I started off using it, but then I got myself a cheap Epiphone Les Paul Special II. The difference is night and day.

I also have tried the RB Squier and had better results than most of the folks here. The intonation was fine, and apart from some buzzing (which you can easily drown out by turning the stereo up), it sounded pretty decent. The main problem with it is doing bends on the plastic fretboard, those are damn near impossible to do right. But for the record, it is definitely playable.

I ended up just buying a Squier Bullet I saw on sale on Guitar Center, with the $50 in credit I had there, it ran me $80. It's not exactly an amazing guitar, but it's a shape I'm familiar with. The downside to that guitar is that it's only got 21 frets, which makes bits of Freebird's solo unplayable. Then again, the rest of the solo is unplayable for my untalented fingers, so it's kinda a moot point...when I can play the rest of that solo flawlessly and am only being screwed by not being able to hit those notes, I'll think about buying a better guitar.

I'm not saying the Squier is absolutely terrible for the game. I just felt like it would be better to get used to the guitar shape I liked. I am not sure if it is the guitar itself or my preference, but I seem to be doing much better on my other guitar.

It's a shame that some of those songs aren't in RB yet

Anyone use the RB Squier with Rocksmith?

I am, too. Since it's the only guitar I have, it isn't something like others have said, where it's a completely different tone. I have no point of reference other than the Squier. I'm starting to get the hang of it (The Dead Weather's "I Can't Hear You" is especially fun and I've leveled it most of the way up) and so the buzzing that others have noticed and noted is starting to get on my nerves. Also, the string bending is extremely difficult. I have a score of 0 on the technique exercise for string bends.

But, since I don't have room for ANY more RB equipment or musical interests, until my wife and I buy a house, I'm sorta stuck with the Squier. It's good for learning the ropes, at least.

It's way more of a shame that so many songs in Rockband aren't in Rocksmith yet!

RB's selection of pro songs is getting to be rather nice.
