it's just a simple powerchord song dude. what is so shocking for you?

@@juser-abuser let him be proud dude, get ta fuck. Deadly song bud, love it

@@juser-abuser There's more to it than just playing power chords; he wrote the lyrics, sang it, recorded all the parts, edited the video.

@@Persun_McPersonson He also made a lot of cringe. He deserves a medal a guess.

Rocksmith is teaching me bass. 3 years in so far =]

Thank you, that means a lot!

Little over six months for the song, but damn that is still impressive.

@@MightyNifty I see you downloaded Fuwa Fuwa Time

Q1

Rcrai it would be really great if could share your perspective on rocksmith from someone who is playing instruments for 20+ years!

@@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

It's just explicitly being taught if I understood that review right.

Rocksmith with a instructor seems the best of both worlds!

go for it men, the game costs a few buck and you can find a nice squier for around 150 buck or less used

i started playing rocksmith 5 months ago first 2 months i had learned one song fully then realized i was on lead tried rhythm got into that and started doing the spider walk exercise and that made everything click i can now play 15 plus songs at 99 accuracy both rhythm and lead and can now download a song i want and get 80 in a bout two trys im not the best but im trying to get there and am glad i gave rocksmith a try

just for him to teach you the chords, and increase your agility and notion of each fret is already a big step. Because that's the most boring thing at first, and learning by yourself is boring.

Hey, Pal. Could you share some info about your in-game expertise? Did you really advance through all of this like the author of the video? How did it eventually work out?

I just bought an electric last week, I had an acoustic before so I know one thing or two but like some more advanced 'proper' guitar techniques I don't really know of 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

How'd it go?

You do online lessons? If not whats something you recommend all new guitarists to learn first? I tend to have trouble actually applying “lessons” to playing especially if I’m just watching a video with no actual feedback.

Thanks so much! 😁

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.

What would be the perfect system for you? Rocksmith making partnerships with real life instructors so the instructor would organize what the student plays or something like that?

Thanks for checking it out!

@@MightyNifty I've been trying to get into it off and on but always kind of falter out after 30 days, so it's good to know that there is some natural plateau that you have to push yourself past. I'm not sure what it is myself, but the next time I try again I'll try to see why I end up losing interest. I'm not sure if you might have some more general thoughts on keeping up with it? I will say, because it's the easiest song in the default lineup and the song I start with every time I pick up the game again, I do know Blitzkrieg Bop pretty well lol

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 KZfaq 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!

@@MightyNifty I'll keep that in mind the next time I give it a shot again. There is something to be said about being able to ask someone questions though, so lessons may be needed in the end. Thanks!

Happy to help and best of luck!

Bro really got a $1500 guitar as a starter and a les Paul none the less🗿

@@antibritish_anarchsim1547 as someone who came from playing bass, I appreciate a good guitar over a cheap starter.

@@mrtechit101 I brought a US Stratocaster and used the money I spent on it as incentive to get my moneys worth. Not only can I play now but they guitar is now worth more than I payed for it.
