First thing, there is a WIDE variety of activities which all seem pretty easy to jump into.

The great thing is that the game is very adaptive.

Rocksmith walked me through it and checked the tones for me (good thing for a tone deaf guy)

The gameplay is a lot snappier on the PS4 with the long load times a thing of the past.

The great thing is that if you don't do well on a song, the game tells you where you had problems and what lessons to practice to get better.

Still, it does so in a mixture of skills, songs, and mini games that keep things fresh all the while

but I feel things are going well.

It's a much more impressive thing when people come in and see you playing an actual guitar as opposed to Guitar Hero/Rock Band toy guitars.

It's one thing to play along a song from your amp while listening to it on a speaker, and a whole other thing to play along it that perfectly blends in your playing (again sounding like the exact tone and effects) with the actual song.

The cool thing (for me at least) was that the software knew the problem before I did

And you need one very VERY important thing

This thing is great for a beginner, even someone who has never picked up a guitar

For this reviewer, there are few things more musically satisfying than genuinely testing your music mettle versus wading through mundane fundamentals only

It's a much more impressive thing when people come in and see you playing an actual guitar as opposed to Guitar Hero/Rock Band toy guitars.

The important thing to remember is you're not going to be an overnight success, you just have to keep trying and practicing.

and I leapt at the opportunity and this is possibly the best thing that has ever happened to me as a guitarist
