Rocksmith is the first and only game where players can plug any real guitar with a standard quarter-inch input jack into a console or PC and play through an in-depth library of music, including everything from the latest hits to classic rock songs. Featuring gameplay that automatically adjusts to the players skill level and innovative game design that makes reading music visually fun and intuitive, Rocksmith engages experienced musicians and those who are picking up a guitar for the first time. The game includes a sizeable library of music from classic rock bands to current artists, such as The Animals, The Black Keys, David Bowie, Interpol, Nirvana, and The Rolling Stones.
I have played the electric guitar for years on my own and although I can do some things, I still could not excel like I wanted to without expensive lessons. Rocksmith got me over those humps and now I can play and understand real music and music concept, and get to learn some of my favorite songs.

Review 5 for Rocksmith (PS3)
Really fun but flustering for a true beginner.

Decided to get this after reading a ton of reviews and because I really want to learn to play my guitar and I'm not much for boring lessons.
First off Price...
The guitar and bass version is expensive!!! But just the guitar version is good priced at 50.00 in store. And seeing as it comes with the cable that you have to pay 30.00 alone for if you want another one, pretty good deal..
Now for game play...
Well it's a tad frustrating. lol.. And only because I don't know how to play guitar and I can't seem to get my little fingers in the right spots. (I did better with my daughter's electric guitar than I did with my electric/acoustic)
But it slows down and removes the notes you seem to be having issues with, then gradually works them back in.
My husband took over for me when I was ready to throw my guitar through the tv. And he did great. It was adding the notes that I was having problems with back in and then some to the point where he was being challenged.
Overall a fun game and a great instructional game. Just give yourself a chance and try not to throw your guitar through the tv.
One thing I love over the rockband and guitar hero games is that even when you're horrible YOU DON"T GET BOO'ED OFF!!!!

Bought this for my boyfriend, who has some guitar knowledge, & myself, who has none. The game teaches basic notes, chords, etc...kind of goes with each player until they get it...doesn't advance till the player does, then if you get lost the game slows back down. We've had hours of fun just learning different phases on guitar. You plug the game into your own guitar & not a toy so you're actually learning something while having fun..there's even a "game' called ducks on it where you have to shoot ducks, but you're learning chords while you're shooting ducks....we have had so much fun with it...we would recommend it to any one wanting to learn to play.

i love the fact it helps teach you to play better while using your own REAL guitar instead of a plastic one & helps you tune it correctly. song selection is great too, the kids will hardly put it down! anyone that plays or wants to learn will enjoy it.

great game / learning tool!!!!

Bought for boys 15 -28 and they love it .They are alot better then me as i don"t have the hand eye cordination they have but great learning tool . They were getting tired of the fake guitar games. As for the price of buying a guitar we had plenty lying around but you could buy a used one on ebay or pawn shop or guitar center for cheap if you had too, but a nice guitar will make playing more fun .the ones that come with the full game combo are pretty good and you wont find a better deal on a guitar. but i bet you have a relative with one sitting around . The small fender / squier minis are 100.00 just put he thinnest strings that you can on them .009s maybe a custom set for the little kids and you can play as they are 3/4 size. Great game period .
P.S. We did not have problem with lag but there are ways to limit it. We also bought the extra cable for two players but have not used it yet but i would get it.

Im in my 30's and for someone that always wanted to learn to play a guitar, had one, but never really could get motivated and retain what I learned... this is perfect! Currently priced more than an average game, but includes the cable so it equals out. Definitely worth the money if the price drops. As for more experienced guitarists I couldnt comment on whether it would be fun or not.

Beats mind numbing practice from a book or DVD, and way cheaper than an instructor. Interactive and engaging. I'm learning quickly without getting frustrated or bored. It adjustes to your abilities immediately getting easier or harder while you play. Great song selection too! I'm very happy with it! Recommended it to my younger brother...
