For anyone thinking of using Rocksmith to learn, here's an important tip: Learning the songs is great, but for every hour you spend in "learn a song", spend two hours in lessons, guitarcade and session mode. Those modes teach the valuable fundamentals and muscle memory. Remember, you are learning to play guitar, not learning to mimic.

Dude, you’re cool AF for putting yourself out there like this. You’ve shown what hard work and dedication can do in a year. Keep going, man!

Okay, you have gotten really good within only a year. I bought Rocksmith the other day, and bought a Fender Squire Affinity and started 3 days ago. I am absolutely terrible. But I'm having fun and definitely started to learn a little. Inspiring to watch your talents blossom within just a year. Awesome!

Rocksmith is great, been playing it for years. it can really take you from never having played a note on guitar to a well trained beginner or intermediate player. The best learning tool (aside from a private lesson teacher)

Good for you man, going through this journey myself currently and taking my timing im learing from rocksmith and putting that towards music theory workbooks has really helped! Keep up the good work

Nice video! I am convinced after watching this, that it might be a good idea to get Rocksmith. I have been playing for a couple years, but with no structure. I'm learning random chords and riffs but I need something to put it all together with. Thanks for the video!!

That is pretty impressive for just one year! Much respect to you!

Woah !!! Dude you really sound awesome! I’m impressed you can definitely tell that you put in a lot of hard work! What a cool idea to record your progression !! Rock on !!

Got rocksmith 2weeks ago, it's a blast and I'm learning a ton. Keep up the great work.

Amazing, you've inspired so many ppl it must feel great!

Excellent progress young man. Can't wait to see what you do with your building blocks.

This inspires me to keep going my man. Amazing work. I am starting with no previous musical experience, and I'm old, but I'm gonna keep going. It has turned into an addiction lol.

My GUY! Dedication, effort, enthusiasm and the passion you got em. Well done! You were better than me on day 31 than I was on day 140 on my own with books. (My skill accelerated once rocksmith came into the picture, the games in it make things so much easier to get positioning down again after putting the guitar down for so long)

This actually made me decide to get rocksmith and bought myself a cheap fender to start out hopefully it’ll help me

Great execution of a video concept. Very informative. Waiting on my usb cable and will start on this road. Good luck in your progress.

I’m close to a year having a guitar and making good progress IMO but haven’t played every day. Your definatley ahead of me atm but not for long! good vid!

Looks like you're doing very nicely pal and I really hope you're sticking to it. I would also suggest to anyone wanting to get into guitar that Rocksmith is a good way to learn songs and be on the guitar a lot more but don't forget to establish a good practice routine without Rocksmith and with a metronome to build your own technique, build flexibility, speed and accuracy in your fingers, and to also build rhythm as well not to mention learning more complicated scales and arpeggios to be a more amazing guitarist inside and outside of covering songs. Oh, and A good way to know if you've mastered a song, is to pick up an amp and do a cover on the song with only the backing tracks (the drums, Bass and rhythm guitarist with the lead guitar toned down) and try to cover the song out of your head, and maybe even add your own spin on it here and there, kind of how Cole Rolland does his covers. I hope this helps.

Four guitars in the first year. Someone's a big spender.

Good job that’s some amazing progression in a year

Good work kid. Keep it up. Not bad for a year. If you can get some of the fundemental issues on point you will be great one day. Keep going strong.

wow man, mad impressed. you give me hope i can do this lol. just got rocksmith today and was really frustrated with how bad i suck haha. thanks for the video and the inspiration.

Shaping up pretty well. I would highly recommend working on timing and don't neglect the metronome! Keep rockin' on!

I am almost 2 years in and am pretty happy with the progress I've made from completely new. Wish I had recorded myself more often to make a video like this!

I learned to play guitar with Rocksmith also. But, as long as you are using Rocksmith there is no soul in the music. It's just a game. But when you start playing without the game the feeling comes. It's a really great tool to start with, super fun. Nice video my dude ❤

excellent greetings bro, I have only been 6 months and this thing is incredible . :')

you inpired the HELL out of me just now, dude. I've been on the edge of buying Rocksmith for a long time. I think my choice just got simple. Rock on man, thank you!

Congrats! you improve a lot! Also you have a cool blue ibanez!

Right on man,great work :)

Can anyone comment if the Xbox one version plays smoothly with little to no latency issues on the new series x? Looking for something my son and I can learn on together. Both of us are beginners with knowledge of basic chords

You definitely inspired me to practice more good vid bro keep shredding

Thank you so much for putting yourself out there. This really inspired me to continue!! How many hours a day did you practice?

Here is a guitar tip; Do this alongside learning from a guitar teacher. You will develop bad habits because the game doesn't teach you how to do everything. This will mess you up when you become a intermediate or going into advanced as you will need to correct all of your ingrained errors. The game itself will make you a disjointed player. There are no shortcuts.

"welp time to dust off the old rocksmith and give it another try" very inspiring man.

Great job!

You have the same Ibanez guitar as me! Such an awesome, versatile axe!

Nice man! Never stop!

Gives me hope

That's cool you have multiple guitars right at the beginning.

Congratulations man

Very nice music and guitar playing. Looks like a musical career May be in your future

Awesome improve!!! Could you tell me if i must have the original cable from Ubisoft, or any audio interface will do the job?

Is with compatible with acoustic electric guitars or just electric?

🔥🔥🔥

What Ibanez guitar model are you using?

Outstanding job, kiddo!

Dope video! Keep it up!

Great!

rock on

had 1-2 hours on my 2nd day on rocksmith today, fun tool/game to get the motivation going 👍

I haven’t gotten rock smith yet planning on it soon but we have the same blue Ibanez

Ive owned Rocksmith for YEARS but just got a Ibanez yesterday hopefully i see the same results youve shown here

😉so real only his lady will know. Keep it up you should be the best ever in five years at this speed miraculous.

i stumbled across this video and since i like to play guitar hero for 15 years and also had a some real guitar lessons many, many years ago i wanted to learn the real deal again. btw. the CoD4 poster is awesome.

Just bought a really nice Fender Strat and the game. I’m absolutely terrible but hope I can become a somewhat decent player within the next year or 2.

The thing I find difficult is looking at the all the crap coming at you on the screen and getting overwhelmed then it goes downhill from there. That being said I am getting better and planning on sticking to it.

Men the tropper is HARD

Amazing

now I need to go pick up my guitar....

Van Halen at the end was epic .

I have had this dag on game for years and quit it some time ago. Kicking myself in the ass for not getting back to it as I'm practicing and working on getting back in my guitar flow. Great stuff here.

Watched it again that's it my son's getting Rocksmith for Christmas I've got an Ibanez too and it stays in perfect tune amazing it's just a Gio model, but plays good :)

Your not moving your fingers like that in 30 days and that accurate lol

Nice! If you havint already get the lesson DLCs they have extra practice lessons

My son and I both have that blue Ibanez, weird, ours don't say RG Series on the headstock. Is it an RG600FM?

Cool dude! I just picked up a Fender Squire Jaguar Short Scale Bass the other day and in the deal was a copy of Rocksmith, an I Rig2, and the patch cable to USB. I'm going to have to hijack my kid's xbox and give this a shot. Props to you for the dedication and documenting the progress. You're ripping! How much better are you 2 years later?

better after 30 days than I am after 175 hours...

This is the best endorsement for this I've seen

I have met a lot of people who simply (in their own words) fail to understand me being a guitarrist. I told them to get Rocksmith and see for themselves. After a couple of months, they started asking questions about different techniques and how to improve themselves. My reaction was: do you understand now? Have you already developed your own techniques and gimmicks :) ? Slowly but surely they understand :)

Inspiring fr

i laughed really hard when i saw the blue ibanez, ive got the same one right next to me

Really good job

Great job! Would you make a video playing “Dark Horse” by converge, you got the skills!

I've just started. How long did you do a day?

What guitar do you have?

I been wondering this my self I can play but I'm Terrible with leads so I will give it a try keep going bro you will get be awesome long as your at least practicing for at least 30 minutes every day you will notice a significant change

How long a day were you practicing??

how did you get guns n roses on rocksmith? i saw you playing it and i can't find it on steam.

Wow, keep it up good work !!! One question, What audio interface do you have ? Best regards :))

how many hours did you practice on an average? Also, did you start from 0?

Keep it up....doing well.

I’m gonna go buy a guitar now can I use an acoustic electric on this game or have to be all electric??

Randomly found this in recommended was thoroughly impressed :)

😮😮😮🔥🔥🔥

I love a good fender acoustic guitar I think they are perfect I played one for 3 years went back t electric man I was flying acoustic is very to practice and warm up try it you will see what I'm saying

No AC/DC in Rocksmith so is that 3rd party DLC (what they call CLDC)?

hey! are you able to play the songs out of rocksmith? I also use it but when I try to play the songs out of it I have trouble remembering all the parts of the songs.

Nice Jobs dude i get started Next week !

Idk if its my guitar or the game but it doesn’t pick up my bends sometimes and its really annoying. Did you have a problem with this or nah?

His first week video ! Highly doubt that wasn’t a year

Did you pull the right arm off your gaming chair? That's what I had to do.

Very Nice

10:51 Anyone know what song is it ?

Just stunled across this bidet. Idk if the note highway in this game is accurate to the actual tabs for these songs but it's crazy how fast people who stuck with this game progress.... it to me over 2 years to get the the point you were at in 1 year. But I learned the old fashion way.. would hate to know just how much better I would be now if I had a training tool like this when I was learning... Are you still playing guitar? If so I'd like to see a video of where you are now. And are you still playing this game for practice?

Can you play without watching the game? Like do you have the chords for specific songs memorized?

I this the PS game? wondering if they make a PC?IOS version

how many guitars did you go through in a year?!

How many hours a day did you average lol

Time for this guy to upgrade to the JEM 777! Do it, and become a god.

You can use an acoustic with rocksmith?

Do you practice everyday?
