It’s a shame they spent so much making the client and learning section better than made so many steps back by not licensing tracks people actually want to play. For the vast majority of players, I think they’ll be happier with Rocksmith 2014
Especially if you get it for PC. Don't get me wrong, if you can afford it. Please do everything you can to support musicians. But Rocksmith for PC has modding capabilities to add more songs that you can't purchase.
Yup i agree! Rocksmith+ seems like a great way to learn how to play guitar, but as for playing songs, there’s a reason most rocksmith twitch streamers are still playing the old version.
@AnthonyGarlanger I feared that would be the case. I've played Rocksmith since the original and was waiting for an updated version after 2014. When they announced RS+, I was skeptical but hopeful. I know there's a bunch of legal stuff needed to acquire these songs. But something seemed off from the new business model they chose for this version.
the problem with the licensing model is, the R+ library is about 8x the size of my CustomsForge library. I only have maybe 50 songs out of that CF library on regular rotation. The R+ library is missing almost all of them. The 8000 tracks sounds impressive, but Songsterr has 800k and GuitarPro has over a million. We know Rocksmith songs are just GP5 tabs plus the audio zipped into a single file. The tabs aren't copyright infringement, so really what we need is a streaming-service type deal with the major labels.
@@feliciastuddard755 Yet they only have 1 Tom Petty song. WMG has most of those songs in their archives as we speak. It looked like American Girl was in RS+ before they somehow removed it, then magically reappeared earlier this month.
I played this so much when it came out,after 3 years of playin it I became the lead guitarist in my first band.This is the fastest way to learn guitar.I loved it!
I played RS+ during the beta. Realised it was no improvement over RS 2014, and the song catalogue, especially for bass, was pathetic, and it wasn't worth a subscription, so I went back to 2014. My son subbed for 12 months, and tells me the song content has not got much better. If you could have simply bought the game it may have been ok, but as a sub model it's definitely too expensive.
Rocksmith 2014 is literally how I learned how to play guitar. I'm by no means what I would call "good", but I can play nearly every song I enjoy now, after having utilized ONLY this for the last 9 years. I ended up going with a somewhat crazy setup with a splitter to a real amp so there's zero latency with my tone, and it just sounds so much better. Rocksmith 2014 also lets you "hack" it so you can add user created custom songs. Some of which are surprisingly accurate. I imagine that having played the guitar as long as you have would make this difficult since you have to learn how to translate the information from the screen to your hands, but once you get used to it, Rocksmith, imo, is one of the greatest tools to learn how to play guitar, and it REALLY nails the single most important thing about learning guitar. Keeping things fun and entertaining so you keep picking your guitar back up, regardless of your skill level.
exactly the same for me. got me a guitar in 2013, didn't know shit and learning on my own was boring, got me rocksmith 2014 and started to progress from there. Now i'm playing alright and somewhere in between switched to real tabs ans all, but rocksmith definitely made it more fun to get there.
Its sad, because I 100% believe I can't learn guitar without Rocksmith 2014. Now it's no longer for sale, so I'll never learn guitar. I'm really devastated.
As a player of rocksmith for about 3 years it’s interesting to see a very accomplished guitarist like yourself try to pick up rocksmith. I always find people who can already play guitar struggle with rocksmith. It’s a great way to learn guitar though if you’re just starting out. Great video
I was an experienced musician for years before rocksmith and never had any issues with it. I love using it to just practice playing songs and styles of music I would never otherwise hear or play. Sometimes people are not used to reading tabs or can't process the visual information quickly enough. My dad who grew up learning everything by ear with no visual input has trouble with it. The biggest mistake experienced musicians make IMO is setting the difficulty too high when they aren't used to the interface yet and don't know the songs. RS is about precision and is great for practicing timing. The dynamic difficulty level will add more note information as needed, it's great.
I taught myself how to play with the original Rocksmith. To this day, I still play RS 2014. It’s a terrific tool and if you know where to go for the good songs not available through Steam…it’s even better. Now I just turn it on for the audio and notes, and use my rig alongside it.
Thank you Fluff! I know you are an excellent player that doesn't usually learn this way. Seeing you attempt some of these chord changes made me laugh. Just what I needed on a busy Tuesday morning.
The problem i had is i could only play those songs if the game was on. They didnt go into my brain like learning a song by tabs or a video for whatever reason
100% agree. I’ve been playing for years, but learning by ear or tab alongside the original recording is so much more effective for me. I literally can play anything in RS2014…but I remember zero.
sorry if i have to say this but: you probably did it wrong. I was having the same problem with rocksmith. couldn't play shit without it. but at some point there is the "master" mode where the notes are hidden. Also you can also go for highscore in master mode and such. And THAT way i learned to memorize the song, because i couldn't see the notes. Only when i made a mistake. And that's how you really learn with rocksmith.
@@DerTiger They removed master mode in RS+ :D But to be fair, nothing is stopping you from not watching the screen and learning each section in rift repeater to memorize them. It's still something that a lot of people struggle it, as the need to memorize songs rarely comes up within rocksmith itself. You get the muscle memory, but you do not get automatically stored the correct order to play the whole song from memory, you have to make an active effort for that.
I just started getting back into guitar again and have been frustrated with slow progress and not remembering a lot of stuff. This was the ego boost i desperately needed 😂
The sight reading on the fly is really difficult if you're not used to it. It's hard to switch from the 10th fret down to 2 or 3 if you're not expecting it.
You did really well for someone not used to sight reading! That stuff is really tough! I struggle with it as well. But i find if i have the tune in my head and know what I’m gonna play i do better. Similar to how you did between the two songs haha.
Is there any reason to use this over Rocksmith 2014? Sure, it has some extra stuff but I mean for learning guitar, would it be worth the switch or is the original still more than enough?
I wish they would've held back the number of songs in favor of fewer songs that most want to play. The library is full of bloat currently. I'm really hoping they get some good ones in.
The note highway in Rocksmith has always been so confusing to me. Tabs and sheet music is all horizontal scroll but for this they want you to sight-read vertically and on an angle? It just seems counterintuitive and backwards in my mind and it's no wonder experienced guitarists struggle to adapt to it. Good for beginners I guess just starting, but you're better off just learning how to read tabs and playing along to those online. It's the same thing except for free, it's easier and there's way more songs to choose from. I did love Rock Band and Guitar Hero back in the day though. Those were fun even if you already knew how to play guitar.
I played a bit of Rocksmith 2014 in the past, and I never understood the way they try to teach songs. I really don't see the value in teaching 'easier' versions of riffs, where basically just some notes are left out. Every note added back in basically requires the player to re-learn the riff entirely. There's not much point in developing muscle memory for a dumbed-down version of a riff you want to play. The way I usually learn by tabs is by playing the notes slowly to get used to the fingerings and remember what to play. Then I try to play in somewhat correct rhythm and tempo, until I get to the point where I can actually play to the song. The riff repeater in Rocksmith is a great tool for this approach, but only if I have the tabs available to me at the same time I also think the stream of notes is a lot harder to read than traditional tabs, but maybe that's only a matter of getting used to it. All in all, not the tool for me.
I don’t think I would ever get used to that display, I am just a bit older than you and I learned 80% by ear 15% tan and like 5% from actual “how to play” books. My first band covered more than a feeling but honestly even knowing the song I couldn’t follow what the screen was saying and I learned seven nation years ago because I wanted my kids to think I was cool and that one I could track on the screen a bit better but I think to be truly effective for me would be to spend a few days just getting familiar with the interface and disobey then learning some songs. I think for players not set in their ways and much more accustomed to the way the “game” is displayed it would be a great tool for learning. I don’t think it would be a great tool for me personally to learn songs it’s just too foreign for an ok’d guy like me.
Please stop calling yourself "OG". Your age and all you've learned in those years is something that deserves respect. Not only that, but exercise technology, modern nutrition in terms of what you eat and supplements among other things can take years off of your chronological age. So thanks for a good video! Much appreciated.
I feel like if you’re just starting out, this line of games is great, but I found it unintuitive for learning songs cause they don’t divide the songs based on how the artists play the songs. Like for instance, in “Ties That Bind” by Alter Bridge, if you select the lead guitar part, you are playing Myles Kennedy’s part in the second verse and bridge, but then Mark Tremonti’s parts for the last chorus and solo. I wish that could’ve been an option
So one thing that is not obvious is speed control. Lowering the difficulty removes notes, instead I recommend lowering the playback speed, which is an option.
I got it a couple of weeks ago and it’s not easy. It’s made me faster and while the song selections could be better they still have a lot and they make it so you can play the song easier or as hard as the original. Don’t worry I did just as bad but the best part is when you get you realize you were looking at the screen not the finger board off your guitar.
I played around with the original Rocksmith back in the day and I didn't learn ANYTHING with this. I ended up using tabs from the internet or learn the songs by ear and then played them in the programm. Maybe this just isn't for me, but I had more fun with the mini games in this than with the song learning feature. Good thing with this new version is, that they supposedly added ASIO support this time.
Irs fun seeing someone as good a player as you are, struggle with a beginner level 4 chord wonder. 😂😂 Its refreshing to see that we are all humans and none of us are perfect.
Would have been cool to see you play a song you know. Looks like it is fun and difficult to read but sure that comes with playing it. Does it have a function to slow it down? The difficulty level might be fun but looks aggravating if you actually want to play the song? Thanks for sharing.
I would bet as an old guitar player like yourself. If you put the technology away, and just used your ear holes you would learn the song 10 times quicker. I can understand this being easier when you're just starting out. There is just no replacement for ear training in my opinion.
I used the OG rocksmith to get some pratice in here and there and eventually went on to Rocksmith 2014 with a but-load of custom songs. Rocksmith+ can take it's "yet another subscription" and suck on my poo-hole. A tip though. I as someone who has played guitar for a long time I always found it easier to start on a very high difficulty, and then dial back if needed.
Yeah never bought into the idea I could bearly keep up with Rock band and guitar hero I couldn't imagine looking for a small number looking for the string then looking for the fret then the string on my guitar by the time I found it it was to late and the full song playing in the back is just to much a simple melody in the back would be better so you can actually hear what your gunna be playing and are playing other apps I just have the guitar part playing so I can hear what it's supposed to sound like then try playing it
I have the original rocksmith on ps4, playing stripped down, one note every four beats songs just feels so unnatural and made "easy mode" way harder than it should have been. and basing your playing on visual cues instead of listening isn't something I was able to process too well.
And then they didn't even try to match visuals to what's currently playing, so on-screen they're either half-assing a different part of the song or just flailing randomly so it looks interesting for the video.
Yeah if you can look past the OVER $130 a year sub price, lack of many songs people actually want to play, the fact that if you don't cancel your free trial, it automatically signs you up for the longest plan, the 4 whole free songs you can play on the trial, the extremely gross money hungriness of Ubisoft, and the companies history of nickel and diming at every turn, it's a great game! I know they paid for this video but wow a newcomer would think this game is a great deal from your video when it's ANYTHING but. Edit: Oh and the fucking subscription model, who the hell thought that was a good idea
The days of learning 20 different tabs for the same song to find out what sounds correct are over. Technology is cool I'm not gonna be a bitter old dude.
I've been playing Rocksmith when I was 11 years old and after about a year of playing I could fake my way through most of the songs just by turning the difficulty all the way up to 100% and learning as I went along. It is so funny to me to see the guitar player for a band I love completely forget he knows how to play just because he's watching a screen instead 😂😂. By the way you're totally fine because I am the worst guitar player out of all my friends but they can't figure out Rocksmith either
I still prefer rocksmith 2014 over plus while both are great i currently find more i to play on 2014 i do like that rocksmith plus sounds so clean i should probably make a review video 😅😅
I'm glad you had a hard time, I couldn't learn a goddam thing with this. It was just too hard to watch the screen and try to figure out where I was supposed to be, throwing a bunch of crap at you full speed, I could do better by reading the tab and listening to the song. I really hate this thing.
The PC version is quite good. Especially since there's a massive library of user created tabs you can download and play. Granted i haven't used it in a few years. :P
@@StupidGuitar Ah yes, Rocksmith 2014 is right. I thought they rebranded/renamed it a few years ago but it seems that I'm misremembering. Looked more into it though, this version is uuuhh... leaves a lot to be desired.
playing this on a iPad seems like the worst way to play this. Put that shit on a TV so you can see it Don't feel bad about failing at this. i tried playing the OG Rocksmith but couldn't do it due to how the notes come at you. My old brain is too used to how you read tabs lol. Maybe if you're brand new to guitar it's fine, but for someone that played for many years prior, i found rocksmith to be impossible for me
That looks so Fing complicated 😩 It hurts my brain with the horizontal and vertical and things flying at you. Nope 🙅♀️ My ADHD brain does not work like that 🤣🤣
Hey fluff, I've never heard of this before but I pulled my guitar out and I could play both of those songs perfect I got 98% on more than a feeling and 95% on seven Nation. Come on dude you're better than I am or at least your gear is haha. I've played in some local bands but nothing to the degree that you have. That wasn't very hard You got to work on your ear bro. Love your channel keep up the good work you'll get it 🤘🤘
The idea of watching a screen and playing along is completely foreign to an old ear player like me. When learning or improvising to new songs, I focus on listening and almost turn off other senses. The idea of using my eyes to give me ques instead of my ears seems counterintuitive to me and frankly hurts my head thinking about it. You young guys can do that. This old dog can't.
It’s a shame they spent so much making the client and learning section better than made so many steps back by not licensing tracks people actually want to play. For the vast majority of players, I think they’ll be happier with Rocksmith 2014

@AnthonyGarlanger I feared that would be the case. I've played Rocksmith since the original and was waiting for an updated version after 2014.
When they announced RS+, I was skeptical but hopeful. I know there's a bunch of legal stuff needed to acquire these songs. But something seemed off from the new business model they chose for this version.

It took me a day or 2 to get used to the original Rocksmith on the PS3. And I had been playing for 22 years before I got the game.
I remember playing the orginal version. Ahh the nostalgia
I wish they would've held back the number of songs in favor of fewer songs that most want to play. The library is full of bloat currently. I'm really hoping they get some good ones in.

What interface are you using to connect to your iPad?

Please stop calling yourself "OG". Your age and all you've learned in those years is something that deserves respect. Not only that, but exercise technology, modern nutrition in terms of what you eat and supplements among other things can take years off of your chronological age. So thanks for a good video! Much appreciated.
I can relate to the struggle here - they should make the fret numbers bigger. That's the only way a guitarist used to tabs will be able to read this.
The colored lines are open strings
I feel like if you’re just starting out, this line of games is great, but I found it unintuitive for learning songs cause they don’t divide the songs based on how the artists play the songs.

I wish that could’ve been an option
thank you for testing the waters! I like the loop clipping idea for learning riffs. Can you adjust tempo on it?
You just dove right in, respect
This game will easily humble even the best guitarists until you've learned how it works. Just got it myself, super cool it's on mobile now.
I grew up on guitar hero, that was my rocksmith. I “learned” the songs, then actually had to learn them through tabs or RUclips tutorials 😂

No droid, bummer. Rock on. 👍👍✌️
It’s awsome software, but me personally, I like the layout of Yousician. It’s just how my brain and eyes track.
I'd invert the strings cause that's how you actually read tab.
I’m glad that the same usb cable can be used for gaming consoles, iPads, and PC.
Would be nice to know which cable that is.
I played around with the original Rocksmith back in the day and I didn't learn ANYTHING with this.

Youscian is way better than Rocksmith for learning guitar.
I've been playing guitar for 20 years and kinda want to get this
I've been doing similar before it was even thought of, but I always liked this concept better than Guitar Hero
You remind me so much of patrick rothfuss
God, dude does not understand that the blue line mean you play the D string without holding any fingers in the fret...
I have the original rocksmith on ps4, playing stripped down, one note every four beats songs just feels so unnatural and made "easy mode" way harder than it should have been. and basing your playing on visual cues instead of listening isn't something I was able to process too well.
Thank you, Fluff, I had been wanting to check that out. I think you should also do a redemption vid.
I remember having to save up for tab books and pouring over mtv2 in hopes they eventually play the video for a song you're trying to learn.
me with metallica's tab book and their live @ rock am ring 2008 being rebroadcast every now and then on mtv2 LOL
@@Nestorglassright on right on
And then they didn't even try to match visuals to what's currently playing, so on-screen they're either half-assing a different part of the song or just flailing randomly so it looks interesting for the video.
Photocopying full books at school was a thing.
How fun was that?? Enjoyed watching you flail 😂
Yeah if you can look past the OVER $130 a year sub price, lack of many songs people actually want to play, the fact that if you don't cancel your free trial, it automatically signs you up for the longest plan, the 4 whole free songs you can play on the trial, the extremely gross money hungriness of Ubisoft, and the companies history of nickel and diming at every turn, it's a great game! I know they paid for this video but wow a newcomer would think this game is a great deal from your video when it's ANYTHING but. Edit: Oh and the fucking subscription model, who the hell thought that was a good idea
The days of learning 20 different tabs for the same song to find out what sounds correct are over. Technology is cool I'm not gonna be a bitter old dude.
I've been playing Rocksmith when I was 11 years old and after about a year of playing I could fake my way through most of the songs just by turning the difficulty all the way up to 100% and learning as I went along. It is so funny to me to see the guitar player for a band I love completely forget he knows how to play just because he's watching a screen instead 😂😂. By the way you're totally fine because I am the worst guitar player out of all my friends but they can't figure out Rocksmith either
song selection is horrible, but if you like Boston they have you covered. Arpeggios are impossible to sight read 2014 note highway is so much better.
I still prefer rocksmith 2014 over plus while both are great i currently find more i to play on 2014 i do like that rocksmith plus sounds so clean i should probably make a review video 😅😅
Old Guy Plays Diablo 4 Instead of Practicing
I looked at the song selection on this for rock. What they let you see, not much there I would play.
Obi Soft? Obiwan Kenobi soft?
BOOM
I wonder how much our guy got paid.
Judging by the comments, not enough.
click bait, where's the old guy?
I'm glad you had a hard time, I couldn't learn a goddam thing with this. It was just too hard to watch the screen and try to figure out where I was supposed to be, throwing a bunch of crap at you full speed, I could do better by reading the tab and listening to the song. I really hate this thing.
The PC version is quite good. Especially since there's a massive library of user created tabs you can download and play.
Granted i haven't used it in a few years. :P
You haven’t played plus in a few years as it’s new as of last year. You’re talking about 2014. This version has no good songs at all
@@StupidGuitar Ah yes, Rocksmith 2014 is right.
I thought they rebranded/renamed it a few years ago but it seems that I'm misremembering.
Looked more into it though, this version is uuuhh... leaves a lot to be desired.
@@Phymatic yeah the new one is just… lacking
playing this on a iPad seems like the worst way to play this. Put that shit on a TV so you can see it
Don't feel bad about failing at this. i tried playing the OG Rocksmith but couldn't do it due to how the notes come at you. My old brain is too used to how you read tabs lol.
Maybe if you're brand new to guitar it's fine, but for someone that played for many years prior, i found rocksmith to be impossible for me
shame that the 7 day free trial is forced only if you accept being on a 12 month plan, thats a big risk
Nah you can cancel immediately and retain the 7 free days. That said don’t bother. Song list sucks
I cancel it immediately. You still get the free trial
Fun but lots of lag and delay. That madd me so much annoying 😥
I ain't scared of you Jack White he says haha
That looks so Fing complicated 😩 It hurts my brain with the horizontal and vertical and things flying at you. Nope 🙅♀️ My ADHD brain does not work like that 🤣🤣
No MacOS support 🤦♂
"Old guy"? How old are you? 😮
I owe you a deep sorry bro.I have been in music for a long time, amd I have learned a lot from you.
Rocksmith wants whatever they paid you back lol
Use your ears man, you're struggling to play a simple power chord riff just because the notes moving on the screen look foreign to you?
Make it chug fluff hahah
Hey fluff, I've never heard of this before but I pulled my guitar out and I could play both of those songs perfect I got 98% on more than a feeling and 95% on seven Nation. Come on dude you're better than I am or at least your gear is haha. I've played in some local bands but nothing to the degree that you have. That wasn't very hard You got to work on your ear bro. Love your channel keep up the good work you'll get it 🤘🤘
I'm not seeing the old guy ,, looking not seeing .
Okay Fluff, I think its time you start a gaming channel lol.
If you want to try this game try some lessons first as the lessons have short stuff you can do to get an idea how it works.
I’ll stick with 2014 for my mindless playing. That said… something I can do better than the guys I watch on RUclips! Really low bar but I’ll take my W
I can't play those kinds of games either.
just play the 2014 version its way better
Too expensive.
The idea of watching a screen and playing along is completely foreign to an old ear player like me. When learning or improvising to new songs, I focus on listening and almost turn off other senses. The idea of using my eyes to give me ques instead of my ears seems counterintuitive to me and frankly hurts my head thinking about it. You young guys can do that. This old dog can't.
00:01 It's pronounced "Yoobee-soft"...
Actually both ways are correct.
