It doesn't require perfect pitch to learn by ear lol.

I feel like Rocksmith is a gimmick. I'd just self teach if I was you.

You actually have to try Rocksmith before you can call it a gimmick, and I disagree. I consider it to be a great piece of software for learning.

What is it actually like? Maybe I'm not really familiar with how it works.

You learn at your own pace. The game actually has lessons on Shifting, Scales, Chords, Palm Muting, Sliding, Bending strings, etc and the Riff Repeater when learning a song where you control the speed and the difficulty on how many notes to play whether its the entire riff or just the really simple basic notes or even half. The game will gradually increase the difficulty as you get better. This isn't guitar hero where you just push buttons. You have to own and play on an actual electric 6 guitar or base and plug it in via Rocksmith USB tone cable or really any tone cable to your PC or console.

You can even learn bass with this game. There is also Guitarcade, a mode where you can play arcade games that help teach you scales and chords and whatnot. All using your guitar. The game even has a tuner and you need to adjust your tuning depending on whatever song you're going to learn or play.

Best part is if you have it on Steam like I do, you can add custom tracks from this one website. Its how I got Du Hast on there.

The game is literally aimed at helping you play guitar if you are a noob like me. It has a whole bunch of questions when you first launch it such as if you're right handed or left handed, do you want to play lead, rhythm or do bass, do you have a 3+3 or 6line head stock, etc.

You would also need to make some noise at the beginning and make sure your guitar is all the way up at 10 with volume and tone. Otherwise the game will increase its gain really high just to barely get the sound.

So that's Rocksmith in a nutshell. Its not like Guitar Hero or Rockband where you use a fake guitar controller to just push buttons.

Also, Telecasters are better.

There are times where I wish you died instead of Arky.
Right now is not one of those times.

Also, Telecasters are better.

I couldn't afford a Telecaster.

Let alone a Stratacaster.

Starcaster was the cheapest option really. Also if I had the money I would get a Stratcaster instead.

I've had music teachers tell me that's what I have at a young age, because I told them about how I'm able to hear notes in pretty much anything and know what they are. I've been tested.

Tele > Strats > Knock off Les Pauls > Starcasters

You don't have to be guitars new. I know someone who got a silver tone (I think) for a fairly decent price.

Look can you not give me shit about this please? I'm pretty happy with my current guitar.

Hey, I am just saying. Even though any guitar as a first guitar is good. You'll want to drop actual money sooner or later, and then it pretty much becomes about feel as a lot of the sound is dependent on pedals and amps and what not.

Tele's are way better though.

I'm using my computer as my amp though. I have no room for an amp. Just install Guitar Rig 5 and you're done.

Its also an easy way to record any guitar playing.

I have a friend Lance who records and mixes. He would know more about it than me.

That's actually kind of rad, and not nearly as cheap as I thought it would be.

The game is $40 on Steam if you want it. Its on last gen and this gen consoles too, but PC version allows you to install custom DLC. That's just something you can't do with the consoles unless your entire console is softmodded.

That sea of white, what's the thread count?
