I don’t know how to play the guitar. However, I have played games that use plastic guitars as controllers. Rocksmith + can be a bridge for people like me.
Rocksmith +, now available, allows players to interact with the real guitar to learn and play a vast catalog of songs. As part of the subscription service, Rocksmith + gives users access to a library of thousands of songs from a variety of genres, including artists such as Alice Cooper, Nsync, and even Mozart.
But especially for a beginner like me, it also comes with a number of learning tools.
start from scratch
If you’re completely new to guitar like me, then Rocksmith + teaches you the basics. We offer video lessons on topics such as guitar tuning and how to properly hold the instrument.
In the blink of an eye, I learned some basic chords. A video tutorial will show you where to put your fingers and start an on-screen lesson. Here, similar to the UI seen in games like Guitar Hero, I had to play the strings when I took it to the freeway. Except here I play real strings on a real guitar.
With these starting blocks, you can start learning real songs. Once the track is selected, you can work on learning the song’s tone-by-note as a beginner or veteran. For those of you like me, you can run an abstract version of the path. You can also use the setting to pause the song whenever you need to play a note.
Rocksmith + isolates the section you are struggling with and gives you practice. You can repeat the same section until you are comfortable with it.
Plus, a wide range of accessibility and customization options make your work easier. You can change the UI layout in several important ways, such as in-game guidance. You can even play rated songs if that’s a more convenient way to view your notes.
powerful tool
I’m not saying Rocksmith + turned me into Van Halen. Either way, learning an instrument like the guitar means practicing. But with Rocksmith +, training is easy, accessible, and gives you direct feedback on your performance.
It’s a distinct step up from just following a YouTube tutorial and an alternative to face-to-face tutoring.
But Rocksmith + is more than just a learning tool. If you know how to play the guitar, it can be close to real playing. This is the moment when you feel like you are in the Guitar Hero experience playing along with your favorite song. You can take it out.
Gifts for guitar lovers
As I said, I don’t play guitar. I also dabble in other machines, like the whistle. I would die for a program like this to help me learn the songs and techniques for that instrument.
If you are a guitarist or just curious to play an instrument, I honestly envy you.
Ubisoft has provided early access to a Rocksmith + cable, guitar, and Rocksmith Real Tone for hands-on time.
