Rocksmith needs Instrument Expansion (UPDATE: Bass Now Added)
- May 3, 2012 9:11 pm GMT
for Drums, Keyboard, and other Electric Instruments. I am loving Rocksmith and the Multiplayer is a blast but I can only imagine the fun with 4 people actually playing the real songs. I love the New DLC Songs theyve added as well. Hopefully this game expands because Ubisoft have a hit game with this one.
Also I hope Ubisoft can get with Masaya Matsuura and get some of those Um Jammer Lammy and Parappa songs included. I'd buy all of them.

Is the game even very good? I've heard of it, and thought about buying it, but if it's just Guitar Hero but with your own real guitar, then I might not get it. Especially if there's no death metal tracks on it to play. I'm not into most of the crap that they usually put in Guitar Hero/Rock Band games, they rarely put any underground metal stuff. It's mostly mainstream rock/classic rock crap. Not my thing.
And I want more "in depth" features, like teaching you new guitar techniques to help you improve your skill. For instance, I'm self-taught so I don't know a lot of the scales and chords and other stuff that you're usually taught through lessons. I can play pretty damn good, but I would like to go back and learn some of the things I missed so I can help have a wider overall knowledge of guitar playing. I would also like tips for some of the more technical and difficult to play techniques, like sweep arpeggios.
If the game is basically just tabs that you play along to, then no thanks. lol If it's something that's going to really help take me to the next level, then maybe I'll consider it. I'm not bad by any means, but I really want to revise my technique a bit and see what I could do better. I feel like I could be something special as a guitarist, but right now I just feel stuck lately, like my improvement has come to a stand still. And it feels like the reason my improvement has stopped is because I haven't obtained the knowlege behind the stuff I'm playing yet. I'm just playing it. I don't feel like I've "learned" anything when it comes to guitar in a long time now and I really want something that's going to teach me, but I can't afford guitar lessons right now.
Does it sound like this game is what I'm looking for? Is it going to teach me anything helpful I may have missed from being self-taught? Does it teach you tips to get the most out of your guitar playing? And does it teach you advanced techniques?

Rocksmith (Ubisoft) needs to take some notes from Harmonix's Rock Band 3 game and vice versa

It's not just classic rock, in fact there's very little classic rock on it (maybe 5 songs). It's mostly alternative rock, like Soundgarden, Radiohead, White Stripes, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, but most of the setlist is extremely non-mainstream, like Taddy Porter, Dead Weather, Jenny O, and the xx. There's some metal DLC, but just two 3-packs: one of Megadeth and one of Judas Priest, and I wouldn't really consider them death metal. They also have some Lamb of God song that I've never heard of, but other than that, no metal. If you think you can make it past the lack of death metal, you'd enjoy it. Similarly to tabs it's based on finger placement instead of notation, but the UI is designed to look like you're looking through the back of a guitar neck. It's hard to describe, so here's a photo http://images.g4tv.com/rimg_606x0/ImageDb3/274022_l/rocksmith-e3-2011-screenshots.jpg It works in favor of different techniques, having special gems for hammer-ons and pull-offs, tremolos, harmonics, bends, and the like It also has mini-games that help improve your abilities with chords, scales, slides, shifting across the neck, and other helpful things. It sounds really gimmicky, but they build the games in a way that makes it all feel very fluid. DL;DR: Good if you want to work on technique, sucks for you if you want death metal

I love Rocksmith too, it gives me a reason to play my guitar everyday. One thing i would like to see is an Arpeggio mini game. that's the one thing i would love to learn how to do.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Nov 4, 2012 6:06 pm GMTI never ever get the chance to play this half as much as I would like to, but I found it to be an extremely fun game for someone with rudimentary Guitar playing skills like myself, just a bit weird learning to play songs I already know using different chords, etc.
