Reviews around guitar hero (4.51 of 5)

  • Only two strings are strummed; I used a capo to fret the low e just to make sure my other finger wasn't touching.
  • I always disliked guitar hero because you never actually got anything useful out of being good at it.
  • Structured like Guitar Hero but with an actual guitar for a controller
  • It feels like Guitar Hero, and I didn't like Guitar Hero as a game
  • Songs are here like Guitar Hero however they are not that linear

Reviews around way (4.50 of 5)

  • I found this to be a great product as a fun way to learn guitar
  • Either way, it makes it hard to want to keep playing with the game... or learn the guitar
  • All of this was done in an extremely fun and addicting way
  • Amazing way to learn guitar, it still has some inter-connectivity issues and doesn't like some notes
  • this is not the fastest or the best way to learn guitar.

Reviews around fun (4.23 of 5)

  • Playing bass (or guitar) does NOT get any easier or any more fun than with Rocksmith
  • Even if you are already an advanced guitar player, this game is worth your time if for no other reason than pure fun.
  • This is no Guitar hero type game but you can have fun and learn playing the guitarcade games but you will not master it like a game
  • This is a great game, a great learning tool and great fun.
  • great for any stage of player, easy to use, easy to set up and super fun to rock out to while learning to play

Reviews around song (3.79 of 5)

  • There are many great songs to play as well as the option to purchase more.
  • The game adds more notes and the songs become progressively harder as you begin to learn the entire song
  • but actually learns to play the favorite songs, but something is funny excaso song, just as a good buy and not regret it at all
  • And the ability to slow down songs and repeat hard sections is invaluable.
  • Some of my favorite songs are on this game, and I plan on purchasing more after I learn those

  • This was a horrible product and when I returned it, the company screwed me out of over half of my refund!!

Reviews around program (3.71 of 5)

  • The freezing and buggy program took the enjoyment out of learning
  • I highly recommend this program for learning to play music
  • The program might be good -- the registration process absolutely sucks.
  • All of the above mount to annoyances that I can live with, but the part I can't tolerate is how buggy the program is
  • I have only had it long enough to scratch the surface of it's capabilities but so far so good!Occasionally has issues freezing the program and forcing you to re-start but is good at saving data

Reviews around rocksmith (3.62 of 5)

  • First off its not a stand alone software, you will have to install Steam and some other Uplay junk before you even get to see just how awful Rocksmith is
  • If you are serious about learning to play guitar, I recommend Rocksmith highly!
  • Too bad Rocksmith uses them because if you're troubleshooting you're pretty much on your own.
  • I'd recommend Rocksmith 2014 to any guitar player from beginner to pro
  • I've been playing Rocksmith 2014 with a bass guitar, and for the most part I've really enjoyed it

Reviews around lesson (3.31 of 5)

  • It'll teach you all of the terms, techniques, and give you decent lessons on different forms of playing
  • I've taken lessons in the past and they've been boring, expensive and slow
  • I always had an interest in learning the guitar, but could never afford lessons (when I was younger) or didn't have the time to go somewhere for lessons (nowadays).
  • The lessons are quite handy, and they will rate how well you did at them
  • The lessons themselves are fantastic and give you what you need to play the songs

Reviews around thing (3.31 of 5)

  • The best thing that Rocksmith has going for it is that you plug in a real guitar and you play
  • I've also learned I will need another training outside of this program, and that's not a bad thing!
  • The nice thing about the game is that if you're having trouble getting a
  • the cool thing is once you get it set up, Steam indicates the software is now part of my "library" and I can run it on ANY computer.
  • One last thing that really irritates me (enough to mention) is that the menu sucks.

Reviews around ui (3.22 of 5)

  • Based on what I've seen so far, if I follow their plan of at least 60 minutes of practice every day, I very well could become a competent bass player in 60 days as advertised
  • The menu system is clearly designed for a controller, with only intermittent mouse support and a clunky UI.
  • I bought the first Rocksmith for Xbox, i hated the UI but the concept was genius.
  • I need to edit this as well I really like the program its the cable thats not

Reviews around frustrate (3.12 of 5)

  • but if you have an acoustic - DONT BOTHER... you just end up frustrated and hating the game like I do.

  • it has challenged me and caused me to break bad habits i created.signing offshizon
  • I'm un-learning bad habits, enhancing what I already did fairly well, and even picking up some new tricks
  • So far Rocksmith is showing me my bad habits and helping me correct them
  • Is a very nice game but it doest actualice in Mac as well as in Windows.

Reviews around latency issue (2.87 of 5)

  • Because of the latency issues I have to just look at what notes it's telling me to play, and play the notes according to the song's time, because if you pay attention to the note as it comes down and try to play it as it hits the fretboard like you're supposed to, it's nearly impossible to get it to work.
  • Upon further inquiry, it was discovered he didn't want to quit playing, but the lessons weren't satisfying, or progressing as fast as he wanted.
  • Based on what I've seen so far, if I follow their plan of at least 60 minutes of practice every day, I very well could become a competent bass player in 60 days as advertised
  • the C&P form letter response:"Thank you for contacting Steam Support

Reviews around hand (2.67 of 5)

  • They also have a lesson structure to teach you picking, shifting, sustains, slides, bends, legato, chords, tremolo, palm mutes, harmonics, double stop, accents, fret hand mutes
  • I can't describe that awesome moment when I looked at my fretting hand during a song and realized that it was moving on its own and doing what it needed to do.
  • It is packaged in a very easy to digest and fun way of learning guitar, but make no mistake this is not some simple video game
  • I've got it on a Mac and so far no problems - seems to work as it should.
  • This is more noticeable for palm & fret-hand mutes & pinch harmonics
