    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!

      As someone who’s used RS 2014 a lot, the default way is good to get the muscle memory and movements and such, but the real way to actually learn the song and remember it is by doing “master mode” where the notes disappear so you end up playing it by memory rather than sight reading it. Only way everything actually sticks for me.

    @jthugg1528 8 месяцев назад

    I’ve got nearly 1000 hours in Rocksmith 2014 and while there is a slight learning curve to associating strings with different colors it’s been a fantastic way to learn my favorite songs. The game will automatically change your guitar’s tone to match the song throughout, so you can just focus on playing the guitar and if you hit the right notes on time you sound just like the recording. Sometimes I’ll use a different pickup on my guitar just to standout a little more from the recording if I’m feeling it. Riff repeater is one of my favorite features as you can slow the song down and gradually speed up as your accuracy increases, which makes learning complicated solos or getting your timing just right on chord transitions much easier. R14 had video lessons and exercises that are made into pixelated arcade games but honestly haven’t played them much. The game doesn’t replace a real guitar instructor but it’s the perfect addition for helping you practice and improve. I love Rocksmith 2014, because you bought the game and each song or pack of songs once AND get the REAL song that was yours to play. Unfortunately R14 is being discontinued and replaced with Rocksmith+ which has a subscription model 🙄. I mean they kept a lot of the great features from the 2014 version, but you don’t get the REAL song recording in many cases. They’re mostly cover versions of the songs which are pretty good but it’s not the same, and there’s my honest unsponsored review.

  • @smokster24
    @smokster24 Год назад +1

    I'm more inclined to play 2014 Rocksmith with a cord on my home entertainment system, then playing like this. That being said, I think this is a great tool for those who don't have that option. I also hear you on the transposing your tuning on this game, but it would be kind of difficult in my opinion to learn a song and drop D, while playing it in standard tuning. It's not only going to sound completely off to you, it could potentially be teaching you a bad habit, with ear training that way. Now if you are playing it with a cord, plugged in and not through your own sound system, then you transposed it on the game, I could see that working exactly as you would want it too. Great channel and great content.

    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.

    So in 2017 I started playing and honestly if it wasn't for Rocksmith and RUclips videos that show the tabs as the music goes by I would not of progressed to the point I now know a setlist of songs at anytime , and it has improved my basic knowledge on chords , scales and just knowing what fits , I was the self taught guy noodling for over 20 years it wasn't until I started playing Rocksmith and learning from RUclipsers like you , axe of creation , Xander James , shoot even dovydas I've tooken bits and pieces of inspiration and information whather I've learned how to better my tone or new ideas I've never considered, honestly watching you and Xander aka stay metal ray , you both reminded me that sometimes to simplify is more difficult that to just shred , you guys come up with these smooth bangers with pinch harmonics and what not that just slap sorry qent on a tangent . Rocksmith is absolutely worth it ! To me it's like a version of sheet music and eventually as you get good enough the sheet goes away completely forcing you to use your memory and it's 100 percent of the notes , not always the easiest Way to play it though , most of the time its what the artist is doing but I saw a gojira silvera tab for instance that on Rocksmith was way more difficult than the tab I found online

The fact that it's subscription-based and lack of a career mode like the first game makes it a lacking experience.

    I haven't tried Rocksmith+, but I played the original and Rocksmith 2014. Other than being really slow to load, the original had the best feature; set list or whatever it was called - you pick multiple songs and you play them one after the other. If you played well, the crowd on the screen would start bopping along and cheering. They even called for an encore. It was great fun. They removed it in 2014 🙁
    Found a lot of the lessons annoying as for some reason they wouldn't recognise a lot of what you played, yet songs did. Played on Xbox 360, Xbox One and tried again on Series X. Analogue out on the 360 gave the best experience with no lag.
    Think all my DLC also disappeared including Jimi Hendrix collection which is really disappointing.

    I have Rocksmith 2014 for PC, but I've never used it. I don't know it just doesn't have the same gripe, even more so when the amp sounds from the game are pretty lackluster, I even own a few DLC and the Cherub Rock DLC (which is necessary for CDLC). I'd rather just learn a song by myself or worst case scenario use Guitar Pro tabs or Ultimate Guitar Pro. Plus the onscreen tabs for Rocksmith aren't always accurate and sometimes the tone is way off, Seven nation army for example should have an Octave pedal engaged during the main riff (technically Jack White uses a whammy and just sets the expression pedal on it to max while having it set to -1 Octave, but it's the same as having an octave pedal)

Plus tabs are a reference point, not something you should be following religiously, if you don't put the work into adapting stuff as needed or even changing things to better suit your playing, then you aren't fulfilling your duty as a guitarist. Plus it's always good to take out reference points from multiple sources, since even experienced guitarists can and do make mistakes, most of the times you will have the ability to look into multiple tabs, some songs have videos from the artists either showing you how to play or having their hands filmed, you can use DAWs to slowdown playback of songs to notice certain nuances or even to help figure out solos, you sometimes have fairly reputable youtubers teaching these songs, sometimes you'll find interviews with artists telling details that help out.
