wow, seems like you all are really practicing hard. I've been giving it an hour or so each day and have about 120+ hours in game, the 60 day challenge shows me at 31 days. The best part is that I went from being unable to hold a guitar to now being able to play atleast some of the beginner songs:)

what are your steam details? i'm added as amlanmathur on it, do send in a friend request

You will get enough practice to learn speed and control. For few hours you will feel miserable but continue practicing and soon you will be on a downward slope.

I started off learning the guitar through this game, right from how to hold the guitar. After about 123 hours in I can say that it will teach you a lot about the guitar. Infact the things that it does not teach you you'll be able to learn from youtube and all since you will have a good command of the basics.

I'm using a 3000 buck acoustic guitar with a 600 buck pickup to play the game. It will work as long as you have some kind of a pickup that will register the correct tones. Although if you have the cash it might make more sense to get an electric like the 12k ibanez or the epiphone les paul special edition 2.

all this requires is patience and a dedication to come back to the game, since there will be weeks where progress is almost at a snails pace. But then there will also be weeks where you will be killing every song you play

Sore Tummy is so much fun to play. Speed, control and agility. And the catchy tune. Finger not sore now because habitual.

Good progress there, Gollum. I see some of these songs are my favorite too.

Some progress here too, have been mainly playing the CDLCs, to find songs that I like and have already heard. Here is my progress on a couple of rocksmith songs

This song is awesome fun, very high energy

This one is one of the more difficult ones. Still can't get my fingers to move quite this fast

wow cool . I have a guitar . got it as gift from some friend . But its one 1 or 2 string is broken and 1 string is rusted . The round thing where string is attached is also missing from one point ( there are total of 6 i think) , How much will it take to repair it ?


edit - one doubt . the regular guitar doesn't have cable slot . does it put us at disadvantage ?

[MENTION=136697]iittopper[/MENTION] : A set of acoustic guitar strings will cost about 250 bucks or so (good strings like D'addrario, there might be cheaper alternatives). Any music shop guy should be able to change them as well as find you a replacement for the string holder. Shouldn't cost more than 300 bucks or so to repair it.

You cannot play Rocksmith without a cable port, since my guitar also did not have one I used a pickup (650 bucks) to connect it to the cable. You can check out the image below, although any type of pickup will do.

That's about it. Once you can connect your guitar to your computer it should work with Rocksmith.
[MENTION=85950]Gollum[/MENTION]: I can play BB by memory too, however there are a couple of places where I still stumble, even with on screen input. Same problem in rhythm, I'm still a little slow in switching chords and I have some problems playing barre chords. Other than that I think star chords has has made my basic chords pretty good

Haven't been able to play for 3 days straight. been very busy and tired.
I want to play so badly today.

Guys, have you faced any bugs with the PC version of the game?

I have a bug where the tones drop either mid song or while changing songs and then the tones from the guitar will sound like you are playing an acoustic guitar.

have you ever added and removed a dlc song from the game?
Click to expand...
Yes i have, for the pc you need to put the psarc file into the dlc folder in the game directory.
[MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION]. That's awesome. I started off with the rhythm of this song too.... Great song

never mix CDLC with your original game as CDLC's are badly made and will cause issues.
Delete your profile and make sure to not remove the songs from the dlc folder.
because when you remove the song, your profile still has the song data.
When this data does not match it creates a hole/block
this causes the tones to fail to load.
Also I suggest you to download the game from steam from scratch as the servers have the updated files that do not get patched if you install from the disc and then update.
disable any extra audio output devices in sound control panel
lastly, you have to run the game in win 7 compatibility mode of you are running win 8 or 8.1.
