Rocksmith 2014 progress report

[Faun]

Are you guys only doing lead? No songs on the rhythm mode?

I like the rhythm part. One can play entire song and sing too.

But that I am doing via youtube videos. Tutorials are essentially rhythm tutorials for various songs, e.g., knockin on heavern's door by Bob Dylan.

Great way to get the strumming pattern which is not possible in Rocksmith 2014.

Are you going up and down?
it helps if you go up and down, then you will easily figure out the strumming pattern.

Pattern varies. Rocksmith is just not good at teaching variety of it.

It took me some time to get various patterns

Try Faith by George Michael, you will understand.

Below is the strumming pattern which repeat (M is frethand mute):
D D(M) U U(M) D D(M) U(M) D U(M) D

Yeah, like this:

It's not exactly the way George Michael plays.

Rhythm is the easy part of it. One can play and sing along.

Lead takes some effort. I will probably be done with it within a month or two.

it was pretty easy for me. i have to give credit to string skip saloon.
it helped me pick strings with muscle memory.

on a side note I almost never play the same song twice in a session unless it's something of a challenge.

Yeah, I am not good at string skip. Needs more practice.

I play different song each session. Don't stick with same song which I played last time. It surprised me when I get over the plateau in the current song.

Rocksmith is great for practice and muscle memory.

It keeps up the interest. I have tried to learn guitar before too but never got through the ordeal as it wasn't that interesting.

You are totally right.
As a person who loves video games, I fell in love with rocksmith and my want for being able to play a guitar was re-ignited with the knowledge and existance of rocksmith.
I wish I knew about it when the original rocksmith was released.
I would have learned far more than I know now.
Anyway I am happy that I can play guitar well enough to not look like a newb.

I saw the original rocksmith, it had some great fun stuff like a career path and stuff. But it also had a ton of bugs. RS2014 sorted all of that out and made it awesome fun to play
