In this video we see ideal setups to avoid audio lag, connecting your guitar to your PS3 (or Xbox 360 or PC) via the Real Tone cable, starting/configuring the game and tuning your guitar, plus a first go at 'R U Mine' by Arctic Monkeys and initial conclusions before we get the Rocksmith 60 Day Challenge underway!

- James (a total novice!) will take the Rocksmith 2014 '60 Day Challenge' and see how Ubisoft's claims that you will learn guitar in just 60 days stands up!

Rocksmith 2014 is a music video game produced by Ubisoft. It is a replacement to the 2011 rhythm video game Rocksmith rather than a sequel. The game's main focus is the feature that allows players to plug in virtually any electric guitar or bass and play. It was announced at Ubisoft's 2013 E3 presentation.

Rocksmith 2014 requires the use of the "Hercules" adapter (Real Tone Cable), a USB cable that connects to the standard 1⁄4 in (6.35 mm) output jack of most electric guitars and basses. Other guitars, such as acoustic guitars, may require additional hardware, such as a pickup.

Rocksmith 2014 offers three different development paths for lead and rhythm guitar as well as bass. It now includes the ability to set song difficulty, rather than having to play the song starting at the lowest difficulty, as in Rocksmith.

The game has a Session Mode, which enables players to perform in jam sessions with the in-game musicians. Other new modes include an enhanced Master Mode to help with memory-playing and new Guitarcade minigames. New missions have been added as a way to challenge and direct players towards areas they need improvements.

Rocksmith 2014 is intended to be more of a teaching tool than the original game, featuring more than 85 lessons covering bends, accents, slides, and more. A new finger positioning tool has also been added.

The disc includes over 50 songs new to Rocksmith, including some of the biggest hits yet from alternative, metal, and classic rock - such as:

I have no clue why these guys are complaining. This game is the best way for me to play guitar. I've been to numerous guitar tutors over the years and none have helped me as much as the game has!

I played it on my guitar for 2 months and I can say I went from 0 to 5

Last month I decided that I would like to give bass a go and I bought a 900 dollar bass lol. I have never touched a bass before that. In 2 weeks I was getting over 100

I would say I went from a 0 to 8 for bass. And after i started getting 80 plus in a song, i began getting familiar with the the tune and drum beats of the song and can play without looking at the screen (you have to because sometimes they switch to master mode, which makes the guide in the screen to disappear)

I can play creep, x kid, 2 princes, today, losing my religion, burning for you, say it ain't so, every breath you take, sweater song and self esteem without the game now. You just have to be dedicated

When I first saw this on the steam store I thought it was a game where you make tools from rock, iron etc.

This game is a great way to learn how to play guitar and bass. (I play drums, bass, guitar, piano for about 8 years now. Nothing professional, just for fun.)
But what made the game for me was the custom songs you can download. I would die if I had to be stuck with the original tracklist <.<

Just realized he's got a pinball machine

I remember this was the first vid I watched on rocksmith back in 2014. 7 years later ive probably spent over 4 grand on gear and can genuinely play

[skatinsince]

looping your cable through your strap is to prevent your cord from being unplugged when rocking about the stage

[freakshow]

james mate, i dont know how far along you are in your skills but some recommendations, spend a few minutes a day sit with your guitar, no game, start from the top of the frets, and strum each individual note on each fret and string all the way down. thisll help so that once youve gotten pretty fast at it youll know instinctively what fret you need for the game. for individual string picking try strumming an open note, then immediatly strumming the top string, another open note, then strumming A etc etc all the way down and back up

[Lorant]

Thank you for taking your time to make the video.

I have been playing guitar for over a year now and I decided to try this out a couple months ago and thought it was a great learning experience and you are doing good in this video for a beginner and its not as hard as it looks but good luck in learning

[powpurplegoat]

I have rocksmith and rocksmith 2014 and i swear by this game. I play the bass and this game as helped my hone my skills. Ive been playing since 2007 and never really had any luck with it until I got this game. Now Im playing songs that I never dreamed about playing. So keep up the practice and it will pay off trust me. BTW i LOVE your R2D2 Xbox 360 sittin down there, simply AMAZING!

[MOTHERSHIPEARTH]

I like the idea that anybody can learn and play guitar at starting as a game.thumbs up for the developers

[JapanInDan]

Just stumbled onto your page, but loving what I see! Subbed and liked! Keep it up!

[spugnoid]

" I play air guitar this way round". I love it!

The dots on top of the neck are indicating odd fret numbers (3, 5, 7, 9, etc) Except for the one with double-dots, it's for fret 12. :)
