So it's been a few years since this came out, you ARE a guitar master by now, right? You didn't just give up a few days in because your fingers hurt or something, did you?

>tfw your finger nail beds far exceed the bone and you couldn't press down on the strings right.

Maybe I should have customised the fret to be deeper or something.

What? I don't understand what the fuck is wrong with your fingers, you can't just trim your nails?

i am currently waiting to get the cable and i am gonna pirate the game. I am a mediocre rhythm guitar player. Pic related is what i use

fuck

If you can find the CD key cheap consider buying it, it's a fucking hassle to get all the custom DLC shit if you don't.

If you don't care about custom songs then it doesn't matter though. The cable was more expensive than the game for me.

I cut them all the way down and they still knock the fret board when I try to press down strings. I'm not going to mutilate them to go further

I'm a pretty decent guitar player. Would I find enjoyment out of playing this game if I can already learn how to play songs without it?

My nails are a solid 5mm or so shorter than my fingertips, but I bite them down to the quick. You kind of need short nails to play guitar, it's weird that you think cutting them further is mutilation.

It's pretty fun. There are little minigames and things, you could always pirate it and get a 1 dollar 6.35 to 3.5mm adapter to try it out.

Just download guitar pro and jam along to the sheet music/tabs that's what I usually do but all the tabs on there seem to be from 2012 and before. Is there something newer and better that everyone uses instead now?

I used this game to get over the hump of beginning guitar.
I now jam to backing tracks

You're not supposed to be pressing your fingers into the string perpendicular to the fingerboard, user.

You will never in a million years get good at playing the guitar by copying other musicians note for note. It will never happen.

All you need is a metronome and one hour of the day, every single day, for the rest of your life.

Anyone know a site to download the DLC? mediafire.com/folder/5ivon06ksgae5/RS2014 is gone

its pretty fucking great

I have no idea how to use a guitar properly

Pretty much this

PRACTICE YOUR SCALES FAGGOTS

>5:00
>looking bored while doin that shit

Fuck CDLC. I want the legit DLC.

My nigga

>how dare you have fun

To me it doesn't seem like a very good way to learn the songs, in that you're not really learning the songs until you've got them pretty much completely mastered on the dynamic difficulty thing. It'd be much better just to learn the song through actual tabs.
It is fun though.

>when you buy something that isn't glorified firewood and guitar practice gets a hundred times more enjoyable
Never, EVER buy one of those cheap piles of shit you find in walmart for 70 bucks.

I love my 200 dollar guitar. It's the opposite of everything my cheap one was, it's light as fuck, so small it fits anywhere, and it literally never goes out of tune. Sure, I'd feel like the biggest dweeb in the world if I actually used it in public, but as a practice instrument I couldn't ask for anything more.

You can always turn off the difficulty thing and just use practice sections at a slower tempo. It's just there for beginners who want to "play" their favorite song.

you absolute cuck
you just paid like 5000% markup for a standard usb to instrument cable. That's all that stupid cable is.
You can get the same thing for 5 bucks and then just get a patch that lets you bypass the incredibly weakass DRM that forces you to use their crappy cable (basically, any sound device on a computer has an identifying serial, and rocksmith will refuse to work with any sound device that doesn't have the realtone cable's ID)

some guy left a $6000 version of a guitar like that at the music shop I used to work at for us to change/ tune the strings.

I ended up chipping the paint on it and didn't tell anyone about it

I found that the latency on the other USB things was a fucking joke, and the actual cable works a lot better. Always look for it second hand, you can get them for 15 bucks sometimes.

I'll never understand people who own 6k instruments and can't even change the strings. Even adjusting intonation and string height is fucking trivial for a beginner.

>I found that the latency on the other USB things was a fucking joke, and the actual cable works a lot better.
that would have nothing to do with the USB device in particular, and I guarantee the realtone cable uses the exact same circuits and parts as any other USB sound device. Differences in latency would come from various settings within windows.

he must have used it for display, which is why they never called back about it since was chipped on the backside of it.

still pretty fucking funny to me tough

>you ARE a guitar master by now, right?
Yes, and I didn't need a shitty videogame to do it because unlike you I'm not a manchild.

>bored
it's a state of pure focus, her entire mind is one with the guitar, she doesn't have time to manipulate her face

> a fucking headless guitar
kill yourself, my man

I second this. Also play before you buy. I didn't get a super cheap first guitar but I didn't play it first and ended up not liking it. It was an esp ltd h51. I recently got an Ibanez rg6005 and I love it so much more compared to my first guitar.

>know some chords and how to do some scales
>don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to do from here
>most songs sound like shit without the rest of the music
tfw you fell for the "learn yourself guitar" meme

I love it. I was constantly smashing the head into shit before in my shoebox room, now I have no problems.

I picked this game up maybe a month ago.
For a complete beginner, I think it's pretty good. The best way to get better at actually playing the guitar (like how to navigate the fretboard and strum without having to look down and double check constantly) is to just play the guitar. Which I feel the game does a good job of. You slowly start out playing single notes every bar and work your way up. If you want to learn the song, you can turn up the difficulty and practice your way through the song with the tools they have. The game gets a lot of hate but I think it is a pretty good tool.

I couldn't really get into it. The progression is weird and doesn't flow well, which makes sense because the game has no idea how advanced a player is coming in, but it makes for a confusing experience.

I had a much better time going through that justinguitar thing for a while and then coming back to rocksmith as not a total beginner. I feel like if you just use rocksmith, you'll wind up with a lot of bad habits because it doesn't really teach you a lot of stuff.

When's Rocksmith for drums?

>have tiny baby hands and can barely so simple chords because of it
I was doomed from the start

Isn't rockband basically that? I seem to remember that at the high end you're basically just playing the exact same as the actual song.

Now, when's Rocksmith for keyboard?

stupid question, how does a cable have a serial number readable by a computer?

Unironically Rockband is great for teaching drums on the higher difficulties. I know a few friends who went from only Rockband drums to actual drums and picked it up insanely fast because if the muscle memory they learned

Buy Rockband 3 and some Pro drums. RB3 was all about playing actual instruments in the Pro modes. It was basically the precursor to Rocksmith, but for guitar, bass, drums and keys.

Same, man. I'm still trying because I have nothing better to do, but stretching from from fret 1 to 3 is basically a fantasy. Maybe I can stretch it out enough.

Any recommendations on a USB-to-Instrument cable? Would any chink-tier one do?

Am I really making actual drum progression? I picked up RB4 and have been making my way up but assumed it'd be pretty different from the real thing due to only having one pedal/the size/spacing of the drums.

Pro drums are SO much more fun than I remember the regular drums being back when I played RB1 like a decade ago. Is the RB4 set useable on PC or something?

Actual musician here, if you need constant video stimulation to keep you learning something you don’t stand a chance

Music teaches you patience, and to be ok with sitting in silence. Having a tv shout orders at you is pathetic.

This is a learning tool made for those that have a learning disability. It’s the same as those autistic books where they teach kids math with minecraft.

Anybody who actually uses this is pathetic, and my threshold for pathetic is pretty fucking high.

I feel like this game is only good for improving finger dexterity and chord memorization. It's super fun playing along with your favorite songs and bass is hella fun but it won't teach you everything

>Musician here
We can tell, you're definitely not a teacher

Actual musician here, don't listen to this pretentious Redditor wannabe. Nothing about Rocksmith is "shouting orders", you literally set it to your own pace. Unless you're the kind of mongoloid purist who refuses to plug instruments into his computer because it's "cheating" to loop backing tracks or some shit, there's literally zero argument against Rocksmith.

Go try out session mode for 20 minutes, you cunt.

My problem is it doesn't use stretch fingerings for scales, it uses the old ways. However I love the session mode, taught me a lot on jamming. Really liked learning iron maiden. Wish they had Ozzy though, but I learned that Randy Rhoads shit on my own.

>Here's MY opinion and why I think YOU'RE PATHETIC WAAHHH
People are allowed to have fun, shitlord. The game at the very least improves finger dexterity

Yeah I guess playing racing simulation games means you're a shit driver too and will never be able to drive a car

Dont get me started on flight simulators, I'd never trust a man who used those to fly a plane

you can act all high and mighty all you want, the game is fun

>Tre Cool's Greatest Hits in Green Day Rock Band
Anyone that can beat all of those at full speed is a real drummer desu.

Rockband drums can be used as MIDI drums IIRC.

I don’t need to play a fucking shiny colour “you did it!” Simulator to learn something you faggot

Is there a game like this for piano or keyboard?

>I’ll throw false equivalencies at him. That’ll work!

I dunno man. To me the best part of it was the ability to do the custom sections that ramp up in difficulty. It's really the best for training muscle memory. I sat there for like a good hour or so and toughed out the solo for a song I had no real chance of learning on my own.

I really think that's where the strength is of this game/tool. The way it takes the songs apart and only leaves the base and tacks the rest of the song on is something I really appreciate.

It won't help you be better at writing original stuff, but you'll be able to play it when you actually do write some.

I've pretty much given up on guitar and music though. I've played for years but I just don't get any enjoyment out of it anymore and my hands are constantly in pain from work. It sucks.

So would playing guitar without a tv to keep your attention you dumb nigger.

You legitimately can't simulate the driving experience at home. It just doesn't work. Driving sims will never do anything for your actual driving ability unless you have a feedback rig with a force feedback clutch and accurate gearbox.

But you seem like you want a medal because you can read a tab sheet.

>"NO! You have to learn MY way! Anybody who didn't isn't a real musician!"

On the NES

Play it for fun. But don’t expect to actually learn anything

Ok buddy lol lmao

>clutch
get out of the 70's gramps, we have automatic now

>want to learn my guitar I've had for 8 years
>try to follow justinguitar or some shit
>they keep saying "do whatever feels right to you" for lesson structure
I just want a structured learning plan for fuck's sake.

>Actual musician here
as opposed to?

No, but you shouldent pass this off to people as a legitimate learning experience. Pass it off as a game, it is s damn fine one.

Don’t lie to people, it isent kind to those who go in actually wanting to learn something, and getting nowhere

nah im too lazy to constantly play it and the scale games and shit like that were really hard

maybe ill bust it out today

>You legitimately can't simulate the driving experience at home
>unless you have a feedback rig with a force feedback clutch and accurate gearbox.
Genius. There's a lot that can be learned from sims, when it's unrealistic to get practice time on the actual course, running it in a sim is very useful.

In an ideal world, you'd spend every hour in an actual car on the actual track. But that isn't fucking reasonable, which is why sims are a valuable tool.

you can learn the basics though, you can learn proper racing lines, grip managment etc.

you wont become a racing driver, but it will give you some insight

No, you won’t. You are fucking delusional

are you an actual racing driver too?

Get a teacher

>grip managment
How can you learn anything about tyres when you can't even feel them? The most important part about learning to drive well is to learn how to feel through your car, but you can't do that in a simulator. All you can do is learn the theory.

But it's a learning experience. You can't honestly tell me that the guy who learned to play a song from Rocksmith is any different from someone who learned the same song from tabs.

I sure hope you spent all your time with a guitar teacher correcting your posture, instead of doing foolish self-study and developing bad habits. Otherwise you clearly learned guitar wrong.

I learned how to rally drive from playing dirt rally with a good setup.
I don't compete, but I'm not wrapped around a tree dead either.

you have visual indicators, you can see how grip affects the car, again you wont become a racing driver

but you can learn the basics

Yes I can, because the guy who learned through rocksmth CANNOT play it without the game, big difference

If YOU can? Congrats, you are in the extreme minority of less then 0.01% of rocksmith players

>what is muscle memory

>because the guy who learned through rocksmth CANNOT play it without the game

Does being able to use a new teaching tool thanks to new technology cheapen anybody's skills? Sure, I could crack open a bunch of books about CSS or Python, learn coding via a book, and tell people who didn't learn from a book that they're garbage, OR I could use a program on a computer that not only speeds up the process, but makes it more entertaining. If a beginner guitarist sits themself down in a room with a guitar and a metronome, they won't learn anything. They won't know chords, they won't know scales, they won't have any fundamentals. They need books, or tablature, or videos for direction and feedback. Literally what is the difference between tablature and the game? I'd wager that the game does a better job of teaching you a song because you're able to hear all the other instruments alongside yours, and you get a better sense of tempo and timing in the song itself. It's overall a better, more immersive, rudimentary teaching tool. Sure, you won't become a master at guitar just by the game itself, but it's a fantastic entry point

Are you fucking serious here? I get that you've never even tried the game, but this is just mindblowing.

I guess you must be in the extreme minority of tab users who can play the songs back without the tabs in front of them. That's how fucking stupid you sound right now.

what a stupid assertion, get fucked homo

I learned to play classic guitar with a real life teacher on a music academy during 10 years... I started to learn a year before the "guitar hero" vidya. I feeled a little like shit cuz girls and other fags where more interested on that stupid game than learn real instruments.

If you want to learn music or any other art there is only one way: the transmission of knowledge beetween humans. Also guitar tabs are shit, learn to read music sheets. Today you want to play guitar but if tomorrow you want to play piano at least you have some basic knowledge.

Is this game only for beginners or does it have something for more advanced players too? I dont consider myself a good player, average probably.
But im doing stuff like working on sweep picking and playing songs from bands like stratovarious and dream evil.

Is this game fun for jamming to stuff like that or is it mostly practice for beginner techniques?

Yeah same. I don't know what to focus on and the whole "go with the flow maaann" thing doesn't give me an idea of where to go next

seeing people 100% songs in this game feels weird.
>every note is hit
>same rigidness and awkward hand position used on guitar hero controller
how is this game for people that already play guitar?

It goes all the way up, honestly it's better for intermediate players than complete beginners.

What is up with you guys? He gives you a structured learning plan. 5 minutes on X, 10 on Y, finish Z before you move onto the next set of lessons.

>Dad bought me a guitar and this game few years back
>Dad says recently you should play guitar more

I-I can’t I wish I was good to make him proud but it’s just too hard

Keep telling yourselves that, real guitar players and rocksmith players are two different groups, I know for a fact all of you a shit at guitar , because you are defending this game to hold on to the idea that one day, it will click, and you will make it

But you never fucking will, you will never impress a girl, or grab a guitar at a party and get the night going. Music is easy, rewarding and beautiful.

This thread proved that you basement dwelling niggers can’t do anything without it being in video game form

For real, put the game down, and try actually learning. Or let me put it in terms this board understands

Git gud

This t b h. If you already have a decent idea of what you're doing, it's super fun. Pick your favorite songs and jam on. I tried to play lead on "Dead!" by MCR on max difficulty and got my ass handed to me. You'll want to already be comfortable with a pick. I'm not unfortunately so lead and rhythm are a bit hard but bass is cash

How mad are you on a scale from 1-10 that you did everything the hard, boring way? Keep pretending that Rocksmith users are somehow incapable of using a metronome or something.

>you will never impress a girl
>this is the first point
>talking about making it
you must be fun at parties

>music is supposed to be rewarding and beautiful
>but dont you dare try to enjoy it your way, you MUST do it my way

practice is not a meme user. if you learn an easy song and master it (read: play it to death), you'll be surprised at what you'll be able to play next.

Because as someone that doesn't know how to play guitar, I don't know if I'm doing enough or getting to a stage where I can move forward. Giving a lesson plan is fine, but you can't just say "and when you feel comfortable, you can move onto the next lessons".

Easiest song that I got close to mastering was blitzkreig bop but the dynamic difficulty got to a part that was too hard for me
