    Dude you learned a ton in your journey. Ive been playing instruments for 20 years and have used rocksmith extensively (because its freakin fun). I can confidently say you are a decent guitarist no... a multi instrumentalist! You're very confident with your fretting hand, even with your pinky. WOW! Your picking, well as you say there was nobody directly coaching you. But in 60 days I wouldn't expect someone to pick up nuances in their picking or produce a song on guitar! and bass! That's crazy man. Good Job!

      @@yol_n Just noticed your comment. Sorry so late. Here is my perspective on Rocksmith. It is a game and it is fun to play. If you play it a lot you will get really good at sight reading the game. It will get you playing songs right away and that is what everyone wants to do when they are learning an instrument. I think it is a really fun tool to learn new songs. I notice that I don't actually learn the song unless I take it to master mode. Most songs I play along with in Rocksmith I don't remember exactly how to play on my own. But it gives me the idea of what the chords are and what key its played in. I jump around a lot and just treat it as a game.
      However (here come the negatives) it doesn't teach you technique or how to play clean or with nuances. If the note recognition picks up what you are playing then you think you are doing good. But if you try to play the song without the game you may notice its not great. It definitely leaves a lot of room for error. Which leads to sloppy playing. If you want to play clean and precise. You have to spend time practicing with just you and your instrument. And a metronome. I'd like to reemphasize the metronome because most people just focus on the how to play a song and then the timing is always off. Timing is everything in music. Next Rocksmith doesn't teach timing or improv or theory.
      So great you used riff repeater to learn the entire solo for X song. What key is it in? What scale are you playing? How do you improv over this song? It doesn't teach you any of that. Only how to play it. Its just copy and paste. Which is what tablature is as well.
      To actually learn and understand how to play an instrument there are not really any short cuts. You have to learn music theory and apply it to your instrument. All of the internet hype and youtube videos are just parts and pieces of it. While the riffs are fun and good to know. Its great for your tool box. Its better to understand what you are playing and where you can take it.

      @@rcrai3 tbh when I picked my electric guitar I just went to Rocksmith because I first wanted to see where I was at (I didn't feel like a complete begginer but after one year I don't know shit) and, the premise, I wanted to learn songs
      but yes it's how you say, I'm a Chili Peppers fan and I can say that while I can play some of the songs I wanted in the game, I can't play any of them outside of the game except those I had practiced before playing it, or while watching actual lessons of it
      my major problems rn are music theory, I just feel like I don't have time to study guitar, and picking: really, I feel like my hands are just like stone, I can't fast pick even if I wanted to, but when playing Rocksmith it doesn't really tell you because if it's close enough the game says you're doing great

    I think that Rocksmith is a great learning tool for anybody that already has the "want to" for playing guitar. I'm a guitarist of over 30 years and I still like using Rocksmith to "game-ify" the process of learning a song. You had the drive, and I think that was the main ingredient in your progress. Rocksmith just provided a rigid framework for your learning. Your original song shows that you learned beyond that rigid structure, and you internalized the concepts that it was trying to teach you. Great job on the song, and enjoy your newfound talent on the instrument!

    I have been playing guitar for over a year now and started off with rocksmith. The game is brilliant and definitely reduces the learning curve. The chord zombie game and star chords are perfect for learning and practicing chord changes. However, you have to augment your learning with reading up on theory as well as watch video's which there are a ton on youtube (if you can get through all the ads). The game does not teach you strumming and rhythm. Luckily they are some amazing channels that teach you them. Guitar theory can be very enjoyable once you get through the basic's but you always need to push yourself. For me this when you can call yourself a guitarist or say that you can play guitar. I want to master it before I say that I can play guitar which keeps me motivated, not to mention playing all of my favourite songs that I always wanted to play. So good luck on your journey.

    That’s pretty much how I started playing guitar last year. However I decided after one and a half months, that I wanted to take lessons and I couldn’t be happier that I chose too.
    Having someone look at your playing and giving you tips on improving your play style is really helping a lot.
    Anyway great video. I hope you still have fun playing.

    Very thorough overview of Rocksmith.

Your commentary was amazing, and if I was considering purchasing, would consider your words worth their weight in gold.

      this video was really inspiring for me, I personally have real difficulty with the 'higher frets' (12+) and with some more fast solos I'm seeing the game throw at me already. I'm just hoping I don't really pick some bad habits because of it because I don't really trust my ability of seeing such nuances like Mighty did

    Cool stuff. I actually am a guitar teacher and I will say that your progress for a few months playing was pretty solid.
    I would say however that your progress probably came more from the consistency of practice than Rocksmith itself. You'd be surprised on how many people opt to "learn guitar" but then don't put in the time needed on their end.
    That being said what I like about Rocksmith is that it makes those intial stages way cooler than I often can when talking about technique and the like. I think guitar teachers in general don't value things like Rocksmith enough for that. I had a student come in once and say "I played Rocksmith for like 4 hours the other day; is that a good use of my time?" On the one hand, sure Rocksmith isn't the most effective way to learn a song or some techniques etc. but who could be mad at a kid working for 4 hours on something.

      I'd say to try the lessons if there's something not working quite right or feeling awkward, just Google the issue or look up RUclips tutorials.
      Also, using the riff repeater to slow down songs can be helpful since actually learning a song all the way through is great motivation (and don't go by Rocksmith's difficulty since that's all kinds of messed up, just search for 'easy guitar songs'). Oh, and try out some alternate lead/rhythm arrangements. Hope this is helpful!

    Well done video. I've never tried Rocksmith, but I've just ordered it; I'm an intermediate player, so curious what it's like. An interesting take on learning from the perspective of someone who's never played guitar before. Some of the things you say are "skewed", but not "wrong"; they're just the way students make things harder than they actually are. Ultimately, as we all learn, it's the practice that makes you better, even if you don't know what or why you're practicing at first. You definitely progressed far in just 2 months; again, as we all eventually learn, that's all down to interest and effort.

    I’ve been playing Bass for about 30 years now, and I love Rocksmith. Like you said it’s definitely even better with the custom songs. For someone like me who’s older, and left behind the days of playing in an actual band it’s great since you’re playing along with actual music. This may or may not apply to you so much as to people new to playing since this video is about a year old. Don’t put to much into the difference between a Squire and a higher end Fender. My son who has been playing for several years now has 4 guitars 2 of which are Squires (a Strat and a Tele), and he loves them both almost as much as his older $600 Ibanez Jem and his Les Paul Custom. If you really want to get the most out of a Squire take it to someone who knows what they’re doing and have it professionally “setup”. This can make a huge difference in how it sounds and handles. Maybe even drop in some “used” Made in Mexico Fender pickups (which is what’s in my son’s Squire Tele), and some better tuners, and for a couple hundred bucks you’ve made a huge difference in that Squire for a lot less than buying a “higher end” Fender.

    I also like the mix of genres they have. The techniques they want you to learn are confusing for me to watch fly by on the screen.
    The issue I have with the technique arcade is the calibrating. No matter how long I bang on the strings, the game cannot hear my guitar. Yes, I had the knobs all the way up, by testing with my amp.

    Great job dude!! I have this, but I have gotta get back into it. I got discouraged but I had no time discipline with interference with my job and my own business plus gym and powerlifting/bodybuilding competitions. No I have to get back home and load this up today, pull out my guitar and work at it.

    Learning to set up my guitar properly (from youtube tutorials) cured many of the problems I had previously assumed were just my beginners ineptitude. Learn to adjust the string intonation at the bridge and make sure your pickups aren't too high. Also tune the guitar using the mini tuner in the pause screen. The full page tuner at the start of songs is actually quite inaccurate.

    I bought a guitar 1 year ago and only learnt the basics and a few riffs. I hope I can change that now when the steam sales drop and actually learn a song.

    Good review. Ive gone through phases, played for a couple of years in the early 2000's (wish this was a thing back then) but motivation and other interests took over, sold most of my guitars and amps. Then when this first came out i jumped on it and it was good, i had a lot of the basics from prior playing and i learnt a few songs fully , which was more than i had really done in the past. I then got busy and i did miss my much nicer guitars id sold a few years past so stepped away. Now nearly 10 years has passed (library has grown a lot, which is a bonus) and ive got the bug again, waiting for a cable to arrive as ive long since lost my original one and i cant wait to jump back in, impulse purchased a minty gorgeous Fender AO 50's Tele to make up for my much missed Japanese 52 Tele i sold before Rocksmith was a thing and have regretted ever since. You made great progress and can confidently call yourself a guitarist and you will pick up a lot of stuff so much easier, Rocksmith is a great foundation and when i first played it for a few months i progressed far more than i did years of trying to learn myself playing tabs and such.

    I bought both Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014 . I really enjoyed both of them but really enjoyed playing the gigs in front of new venues on the first one similar to Guitar Hero and Rock Band.The second version took that away for some reason. I still play on the PS3 version and it’s too bad they didn’t upgrade and also put out new games with new songs instead of having to buy them. Still love these games because it helped me start learning. Now I know I need to practice more lessons in the game which is something I avoided in the past. Thanks for this great informative video!!

    • @LucasGammer

      Rocksmith 2014, it's just you playing LEAD and the easy modes on Score attack, which is practically a guitar hero. With well-spaced and diverse frets, score and game over.

    The content looks exactly like the 2014 version. They just slapped in a new UI and charge monthly for software as a service! Just purchase the 2014 version and own it.

    I was afraid of buying an electric guitar because when I was trying to learn acoustic guitar, I gave up due to the lack of motivation but I think Rocksmith might help quite a bit! I like that you included the parts where you were frustrated and felt like you are not improving, I am expecting all of it and I will be buying my electric guitar in two weeks! Thanks for your video!

    No theory too in RS2014, but nothing beats an actual teacher as they can see bad habits.
    I’ve been using RS since it’s originals list as it’s one of the best way I learn along with Guitar Pro as it’s more of a game which makes it’s easier for my brain to process things.

    It's interesting to see the technique of someone who JUST learned with Rocksmith after a couple of months.
    Your progress after 2 months was super impressive but you can very much see it's the result of someone who'd just been taught *what* notes to play, but not *how* to play them.
    The muscle memory and "internal songbook" seemed further ahead than what I'd expect from a 2 month guitarist, but the picking dynamics and "flow" seemed a little behind a traditional guitar student. It's interesting to see.

    After a failed attempt at learning with the OG Rocksmith about 10 years ago (I was skeptical about the 60 day promise and it affected my drive to continue), I bought a new guitar and 2014 Remastered and am starting from scratch. I'm surprised at how much I remember, and how much I don't, lol. But most importantly, I'm already on day one having more fun than ever, and I hope it sticks this time.

    I've only played a handful of Rythum based games. Two as being both Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I played Crypt of the Necro Dancer. That technically wasn't music based. But you still had to cordnate your moves and abilities to the beat of the background music for percisifnise. The one I played the most is unrelated to those games. But it's Geometry Dash. You pick a level and you start. You play a block that requires you either to tap your Android or mobile device to jump and avoid hazardous walls, spikes, pitfalls, etc. Or if your playing on PC, you just press a button to do all of that. The real neat thing about Geometry dash is you can design your own levels and Download any music you think works for your level. Just don't do it on Android or mobile devices. It's rebust, doesn't have good access and it's harder to get wifi on. I recommend the PC version if you're going to do it. I don't think I'll be revisiting Guitar hero or Rock Band again any time soon. I really can't go back thinking those games are going to be antiquated and ain't going to stand toe to toe with alot of Modern games coming out now. Still they were fun for the time. I might give Rocksmith a chance. But I still wouldn't play it that much. I've actually thought about a series you should cover on your channel. This would be my fav game ever. Mainly the first one. Have you played any of the Dead space games? I think the first one's easily the best out of the series. Dead space 2 was good. But it constantly uncharted. Everything's scripted. Dead space 3, I think you know how most people feel about that one. I enjoy aspects of it. But to say the end product is less than stellar's a bit of an understatement. Two games I'm hyped for is The Callisto Protocol. That's being done by Glen Scofield whose a producer on the OG Dead space. The game's trailer has references to Dead space. The other is the Dead space remake. That's the main reason I think you might want to do the Dead space series retrospective. Have you thought about doing a Dead space series review?

    Man, got into Yousician first, then the Gibson app. And then Rocksmith. I couldn’t do Rocksmith after my brain had learned sidescrolling tab. But wish I could do it, it was a polished game.

  • @Fadamor
    @Fadamor Год назад

    Rocksmith is great at teaching "chops" and you can learn to play existing songs encoded in Rocksmith's format, but it doesn't teach anything about music theory or reading musical notation so you'll have to look elsewhere if you want to be able to write your own music. If you asked whether I regretted buying the original and the Rocksmith 2014 versions, I will always answer "No". I agree with the video author that it's a great START to becoming a full-fledged guitarist.

    Metal Method will teach you how to play the guitar, and once you buy it, you do not have to pay for lessons, it's yours to keep.

    13:40 There actually is a tutorial for all the amp stuff and what everything does. It is just in form of Text. The game tells you what u "could" do in the main menu in like "missions" Follow these along and u will know all there is to that.
