IGN - Rhythm guitar on Weezer's Say It Ain't So at highest difficulty setting.
Neil writes: "Blues, jazz, country, rock, punk - the Rocksmith DLC library has had it all. Today though it's all about one genre and some very lengthy tunes as the Swedish Progressive Death Metallers, Opeth arrive."
Neil writes: "Fed up with the world and wish you could head back a few decades to the 1970s? Well you can with the latest Song Pack for Rocksmith as once more the powers that be take us back in time for the Rocksmith 70s Mix Song Pack VI."
Neil writes: "There is absolutely no debating the brilliance of Nikki Sixx. But while the most famous moments of Sixx' musical career have revolved around Mötley Crüe's tunes, it is the smaller side project that is today appearing on Rocksmith. Yep, that's right, Sixx:A.M. are here and providing a brand new song pack to the fastest guitar tutor in the West."
I have Rocksmith and a TON of the DLC and I've gotta say, first impression after watching this vid of Rocksmith 2014 is unimpressive and I have a sneaking suspicion that they haven't addressed the real issues plaguing this potential hit, which are:
1. Lag issue with HDMI
2. Note detection (especially arpeggios at high tempo)
Overall I think the vid/presentation of this game looks impressive and I hope Rocksmith 2014 turns out to be more than just fixing the glaring and annoying problems with the first game.
And Ubisoft, quit marketing this game as though it replaces a guitar teacher, it doesn't. This game can't critique how cleanly you play, proper right and left hand technique (which are critical in the advancement of guitar playing), as well as improvisation, application of scales to song writing, soloing and of course diatonic harmony.
Rocksmith is a GREAT, GREAT tool for guitar practice and in most cases a good way to learn new songs, but it is in NO way a replacement for a good guitar teacher.
Agreed. I use it to practice songs and styles i typically don't do.. helps keep practice on the entertaining side. But you almost need a teacher to start with.
