Was complaining why are we paying so much for the DLCs when we already bought the game, until i watched this video. Thank you for all their hard works, this is really the fastest way to learn guitar!

The guys that transcribe notes thanks they are super accurate

It's such an interesting process to see how a game like this is made. The amount of work it takes to not only properly chart the song but to also get the tone to sound exactly like it does on the record seems insane. Kudos to the team.

What a beast of a game, takes true dedication to develop a guitarlearning game of this sort. Creating something that the world have never seen before.
Seems like an awesome workstaff. Have not played the game for too long, but it seems like a giant leap from the original Rocksmith.

I just need to say - Thank you guys for Rocksmith!!! This game is awesome!!!

Incredible. I got Rocksmith earlier this year and have played it almost every day religiously for hours and hours after work and on weekends. This is by far the greatest investment I have ever made in my life. I couldn't even tell you how many songs I've learnt and memorised in the past 9 months. I've picked up most of the scales and a fair few chords. I'm starting to expand a little and stumble upon songs that already exist, just by messing around on the guitar.

Thanks so much for this!

What an incredible view of the team and the process. Nice job! Can't wait to get Rocksmith 2014.

Incredible. Just incredible. So much work behind this! Can't wait, this is the game I've been most excited about for years. Congratulations to the team!

It's great to finally see this amazing group of people get a small amount, of the large amount, of credit that they deserve. I hope Paul Cross and company appreciates who and what they have with these people. Thanks for all you have done.

Great work gents! Thank you! I picked up the guitar again because of Rocksmith after many years of it sitting in the case. Cheers!

[MrJmbig]

Very impressive!!! You guys have dream jobs and share the dream with us. My experience of RS: I bought the first Rocksmith, then bought a fender strat, and soon an ibanez bass. International Artist (only in the game) with both a year after. Thanks !! You rock!!

Picked up 2012 nearly 2 weeks ago. Trying to grow some skin on my fingertips and fighting with F chord. Have not had so much fun in ages. Will upgrade to 2014 in 2 days for sure. Thanks guys. Brilliant work

You've created my favorite piece of software for my PS3, over any other gme I played. I already played advanced guitar but spending time playing in this "game" is so addicting. Ive learned 8 songs in like 3 days. Much love to you and Rocksmith 2014

[heythereskinwalker]

I seriously love you guys! Thank you so much I learned guitar and bass from playing the first Rocksmith I can't wait for Rocksmith 2014 :)

[DFCE]

I thought they'd just asked the notes from the artists but it's still really impressive

Ok I am a single father of three. My son(the youngest) wanted to learn guitar when he was 11 because he would watch me play. I got him a Strat off brand and a little amp for his birthday. He only touch it like three time out of a year and a half. When your Bass add-on came out I got it and bought me a Bass. one while playing the guitar part of Rocksmith my son walked in and notice it saying bass on the screen. He asked if I got the add-on. I said yes and he took over my Bass and my PS3. Thanks.

You did a great job charting Born on the Bayou, I think the only thing that it would have needed is a way to display sustains on chords, so people can get a feel for the groove in the song but the way it was done is perfect ;)
