Anyone else tried Rocksmith? How'd you like it?

I had Rocksmith 2014 for the PS3 and I think I’d still pick that up over the new version. Had a pretty good song list.

[devonlewison]

Honestly pc rocksmith 2014 with custom songs is how I've been doing it for years, rocksmith+ is a pretty big turn off for me being subscription based and all

[tommymeagher]

I loved the part when you wired and installed the tim henson fishman fluence set lol

[chickensendies]

I actually still play Rocksmith on my PS5. I have purchased quite a few songs for it and it is honestly fun to play still!

Hi @agufish, you offered up a lot of good feedback in your video and we thought you might like to know that we've been able to address a few things you brought up!

- Relating to your tuning thoughts at 2:32, we added a virtual Pitch Shifter option in our April update that does now let you stay in one tuning and emulate alternate tunings to play them. So now you're able to stay in E Standard and play songs in Eb without needing any changes in the arrangement. You would still need to tune string for Drop tunings and less common special tunings, but it should make playing all the songs a lot easier.

- We've also added a new, more zoomed-in camera option in a previous update which was intended to improve the readability of the noteway (especially on smaller screens) that you mentioned at 3:09 & 5:28. We also expanded our RS Tab option to be available full-screen in an effort to make a better small screen experience if anyone prefers traditional Tab notation.

- And finally, we saw in the comments that you were interested in playing Metallica so you might like to know that we were able to add 20 hit Metallica songs this year for most of the world (though they're not currently available in the US & Canada). Though the library in the US & Canada does now uniquely have Metallica's version of "Whiskey in the Jar".

Would love to hear your thoughts on if those two updates if you're able to try them out!

I just started my 7 day trial a few days ago. Quite fun. Biggest issue is that, like you I learned guitar listening to old cassette tapes, CD's and later using these funny notepad taps you've mentioned. So far, I'm not feeling like I'm learning guitar, but learning to sight read. So, yeah, not a skill I have, but I'm not sure if I'd call it learning guitar yet. I'm so busy trying to do what all the colourful nonsense on the screen tells me to do that I'm failing to learn the song XD

There are vids on youtube that teach you how to add custom tracks to rocksmith+

[killroy]

I loved Rocksmith. But Rocksmith+ is missing so much that its really really hard to justify paying monthly for it. It needs all of what it had (games, session mode, etc) to justify having so little guitar standards in the library currently.

[PlanetFinesse]

Have made a couple dozen or so custom songs for rocksmith 2014. Rocksmith 2014 taught me how to play and I'll never give it up. Absolutely love it. I assume Rocksmith + will get better over time hopefully, but for now I'm gonna use 2014.

I’ve been using rocksmith 2014 for like 10 years as my main rig 😂 with custom songs it’s fantastic, I couldn’t get into this

[Norseman]

Maybe I'll finally get my son to start playing guitar again if he can do it through xbox

[smitty]

Love Rocksmith 2014 and still play it constantly. The new one isn’t so great though

[mikaschwarzer]

Uses Rabeas plugin, doesn't use the transpose feature xD

[mcnorris]

Never tried any of the rocksmith's either but this has my attention.

[GarthNGuitars]

Had the first Rocksmith 10 years ago. I loved it so I got the 2014 version a couple years later. I don’t think I’d pay a subscription for it, but more power to anyone that pays!

[stug]

The only problem is that it’s the way jack white plays 7 nation army…

[Vidfavne]

I've owned RS for a few years but just found it confusing, compared to listening to the songs and reading tabs when needed. However, I gave it another shot now because of all the youtube sponsorships, and this time with a bass (which I'm a novice at). Makes more sense for some reason and it is quite fun. I just really hate that RS refuses to work with my external soundcard/audio interface.

[Douglas_I]

I've been playing this for a week or 2 and the numbers are way too small! I turned on the tab feature so you can just follow a tab.
It's super cool except the songs. They didn't even half ass the songs. They have more than 6000 songs but there's like 3 that you actually want to play.
