There is no easy way to learn to play any instrument. It takes a lot of self-motivation and the proper tools. Part of it is knowing how to actually use and play your instrument, while the other half is being proficient at it. A few years ago, Harmonix created Guitar Hero, a game that mimicked guitar while adding in increased difficulty. That game was accessible to anyone, but did not actually teach how to play the guitar or bass. Ubisoft went a different direction by providing a game that was a tool. The original Rocksmith allowed players to plug in any guitar (and later bass) and actually learn the fundamentals of the instruments. For those already familiar, musicians could master songs with the necessary tutelage.

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."
