Learning to rock with Rocksmith 2014
I've had the Xbox One package for three weeks and practices for 30-60 minutes a day. I'm an old dog trying to learn to play guitar. Picking the right string without looking is a challenge, not to mention contorting your fret hand to form a chord. Read my review with that in mind.
Learning guitar with Rocksmith is actually fun. Some of Positives:
- Playing lessons at your own pace and replaying practice tracks is a big plus for me.
- Practice lessons slow down if you’re having trouble.
- The practice track progression percentage let you know how well you are doing for each lesson.
- The games in Guitarcade are great for muscle memory repetitive motion.
- The photos detailing hand positions to prove someone hands can actually bend that way.
The only negative is in the tone recognition while playing. A small percentage of time the software thinks I’m playing the wrong fret. My chromatic tuner displays that I hit the right note, but Rocksmith tells me to move up/down a fret.
Great package that I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn guitar.
