I was very excited to hear that this was coming to PC! Who wants to play guitar in the livingroom on the tv while everyone is trying to watch their daily shows? Something seemed a bit too childish about playing the guitar on a PS3 or Xbox anyway.I won’t make this long and drawn out -here are my quirks:- It learns you "too fast" meaning that it puts you into more advanced stages quicker than it should. You can start out a song in very basic mode and end up full blazing shreds with power chords and barre chords flying at you and you’re like what????- It also doesn’t do very well with drop d tuning. It can never pick up the notes during game play. I’m playing a brand new Fender blacktop HSH that is professionally setup and sounds fantastic! But when I play a song that requires me to drop the string to a different note, I almost have to play one fret above where it says to in order for the game to recognize it. So therefore I get confused and it’s hard to play.- There’s not much in the way of teaching you with this game. It’s pretty much just play and hit or miss the notes and chords. If it taught you the song first, and THEN played it, then that would be a different story. For instance it should say ok these are the notes, chords and riffs in this song, this is how to play them correctly and here are some tips. But it doesn’t do that, you just jump straight into the song. – There are some practice runs for things such as power chords, slides, bends etc. But they only app.
I bought this game along with an inexpensive Les Paul Special II. I tried teaching myself in the past, but practicing just got so boring that I didn’t continue with it. This game keeps practice interesting. When the program thinks you have a concept, it increases the songs level of difficulty so that you continually improve. It also has games, video’s, and technique challenges that help you improve every aspect of playing electric guitar.One annoyance that I have are that it doesn’t stay in the sub menu’s. For instance, if you are doing technique challenges you have to select the technique challenge button twice to do another technique challenge. Additionally, if you are trying to learn the chords of a particular song, you don’t have the option of simply moving to the next cord. You have to go back to the main menu and drill down to select the next cord. Even with this problem, it’s still makes learning guitar fun.
As a guitarist who has been playing for close to 12 years I bought this on a whim and I think it is a neat idea. For me I was hoping to learn a little more through this game than I have so far but it is targeted towards beginners, not experienced players. My biggest qualm with this game is it does not teach technique or the basics for writing. This game teaches the guitar mainly through "you have a guitar, this is how you tune, go play this song" and I was hoping for a little more out of it. Obviously I do enjoy Rocksmith as a game hence the 4 stars but if you want more, remember this is just a game and not really a tool. Either way I still recommend it if you wanna goof around and have some fun.
This program helps so much with guitar playing. I love that you are playing with real music, not the tick of a metronome. Hearing the musicas you play and being able to play different parts teaches so much more about how music is put together and keeps things interesting. Being able to watch the videos over and over then practicing these techniques and getting exact feedback as many times as you want, whenever you want is something no instructor could ever do. The games help to keep you practicing while making it fun. The 2014 version seems to keep all the good parts and just make it so much better.Now for the bad parts. First the PC version does need a powerful machine. Second it would be easy to change the display to a slightly modified tab display instead of the strange custom format they use. Third it would be nice to have even just a couple lessons on tab and standard music notation. You are going to need other help to learn to play, but this is a great help on top of being a fun game.
This is really a great game to learn how to play or practice your skills on guitar (haven’t tried the bass settings). The progression is very good and you are pretty well in control of your destiny as far as how quickly you move up in difficulty.- One thing people notice a lot of is an error that the cable isn’t connected. Not but a few inches back from where the cable plugs into your PC USB port is a connector; the cable is actually two pieces. Make sure that’s pushed together tight.- Make sure you have room to play! Lots of people, such as myself, have a corner desk, which makes it cramped. Give yourself the best possible playing area and arrange your chair/desk so you have room to rock!Enjoy!
I was surprised how in depth Rocksmith is. I am an avid piano player, but had never picked up a guitar before. I got this after my brother recommended it to me. After playing it for over 40 hours, I can say that yes Rocksmith can teach you to play guitar, but not in a "complete" way. I was able to pick up my play speed and build up my calluses by playing this game. However, it focuses too much on just covering songs, so that you only learn to play a wide array of licks. That’s great if you want to impress friends, but some people get stuck on this phase, and never develop further as musicians.I can’t deny that it is a great stepping stone for greater things, and it manages to do it in a fun way (for the most part).
Technical Stuff – Integrated Graphics – Audio “Unplugged” issueS:I ordered this, intending to put it on my media center PC connected via HDMI to my living room TV. I had read about some audio latency issues so I connected a subwoofer and speakers to the PC via audio jack to avoid that particular issue. My concern after that was that I am running a sandy bridge core i3, 2120T. Basically a 2.5ghz Sandy with integrated graphics. After reading some of the reviews here I was worried about game performance. I wasn’t overly worried because I do have a low profile Geforce 520 I could stick in the machine if the CPU/GPU couldn’t handle the game, I just didn’t want to do that unless I had to because I want to keep the power consumption, heat, and fan noise to a minimum in my living room pc. The game arrived yesterday and after the lengthy install process, I fired it up, only to find that during the setup, it kept saying the cable was unplugged. I was quite frustrated reading forums and finding that people had been getting bogus cables and had to have new ones sent. I did, however, read on one forum that audio management programs running in the system tray can sometimes interfere. I ended task on my realtek audio manager but this did not resolve the problem. I realized that it might be the audio component of my hauppauge dual tuner, so I disabled that device in device manager. The PC asked for a restart – but I did not restart it – and Rocksmith worked like a champ. After I.
Self-taught guitarist of nine years speaking. This game is helping me learn songs I wanted to learn, like Icky Thump and Sunshine of Your Love, and has also gotten me into some songs I didn’t care that much for before, like Panic Switch by Silversun Pickups (the opening riff is killer!) It’s also helping me brush up on some core skills like picking accuracy and using different areas of the fretboard.Learning to read the on-screen tablature was a bit of hurdle at first. Each string is associated with a color. They happen to be different than the ones I’ve grown accustomed to seeing on the rings of D’addario strings. So it’s an on-going process of remembering than green is the B string, not the D string.The notes come at you in a similar way to Guitar Hero. The only rhythm annotation is a bar measure. Other than that you’re just expected to figure out the rhythm from spacing, which I think is a huge missed opportunity to teach proper rhythm skills.You can pick to play certain songs or you can follow "The Journey" which will throw different songs at you in different degrees of complexity. At times the game’s simplified adaptations of songs can be frustrating especially if you kind of know the riff beforehand – why is it making me learn that note before that one? – but I view it as an exercise in flexibility, and there is value in that. Playing chords racks you up a surprising amount of experience points in the beginning, so I suppose this game is geared at total beginner.
This earlier version of Rock Smith! I have seen a lot of teach yourself guitar software, books, etc. . . . . But most are sold for getting your money but do little in teaching you to play guitar, this software has some potential. Rock Smith uses a game type teaching tool, has several games you can use and has several styles of play a long music. The object is to strum the guitar string or strings at the time indicated. The games keep score of the correct string that was strummed, there’s string bending and sliding too. The game also has difficulty levels too! The software comes with steam to register the game and to update the software. The main problem I ran into was the game was slow to respond or would just hang. I found that steam is running in the background and was causing the problem. I exited the steam program and the game would run smoothly. I don’t know if the newer version has fix this problem but I would assume that it has. This software will make a good addition to learning to play guitar for beginners and with the steam program you can play against other players. Rock Smith for PC requires Windows Vista/Windows 7, 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 or 2.0 GHz AMD Athlon 64×2 3800 + or better, 2GB of Ram (4 GB recommended). Video card 256 MB Direct X 9.0 Compliant with Shader Model 3.0 or higher, Direct x 9.0c-compliant, DVD Rom Drive and 12 GB hard drive space.Software also came with cable to plug guitar into USB port.
Dan the Engineer –
Only reason I bought this was to get the USB adaptor so that I can use it on Rocksmith 2014 (the next version of this title). This product also requires Steam account, since it comes with the Steam code. There’s no need to install the software that comes with the DVD. The Rocksmith game itself is great for learning to play lead electric guitar, but I found myself wanting to play Rocksmith 2014, with better game play and better user-interface. But I still enjoyed playing the original, and overall, It’s a great way to learn to play guitar.
