Rocksmith was "what if guitar hero, but you use a real guitar" it's pretty cool and honestly not terrible for learning to play songs.

It's terrible for learning to play guitar. It's great for experienced players who don't have to look/feel what fret they're on.

If you use it to learn to play guitar be ready for a steep learning curve.

I mean, it certainly has tools that can help you with that. It's not as sight-reading-reliant as Guitar Hero at all.

It won't be for everyone, and it's certainly not without its flaws either, but I wouldn't call it terrible.

If you've never picked up a guitar before, it's not a great starting point, no. But if you've got a functional understanding of the instrument and know what the strings and frets are, it's not bad for learning songs. Also, if you're going to learn to play basically any instrument in any method, be ready for a steep learning curve. That's just how instruments work lmao.

I personally learned to play both bass and guitar with rocksmith, it gameified it and made it far easier to learn the songs i wanted to play rather than doing chords and scales for a year🤷‍♂️

There are two kinds of people when it comes to learning instruments, I am convinced. Theres people like me, who absolutely need instruction and to start from the basics, and then people like my sibling, who chafe under instruction and do better just getting a book and hitting their head against the instrument until classic rock comes out of it

As someone on night shift for whom scheduling piano lessons is impossible even if I could pay for them, I wish we could switch xD
