Does the ROCKSMITH 60 DAY CHALLENGE Work??

The Rocksmith 60 day challenge is among the most popular ways for self taught guitarists to learn. Similar to yousician, it uses a game to incentivize beginner guitarists to practice. But does the rocksmith 60 day challenge work? In this video I discuss my experience, and my progress made when I attempted it.

A tip for anyone who owns this game. Get a splitter cable (cost $10 or less) and run your amp to one side and the rocksmith cable to the other side then turn "player one guitar" sound all the way down in the game. You will have 0 latency and it will feel the way it's supposed to and you get to use your own amp. Best way hands down to play this game.

[@IuliuscesarUribe]

I managed to get rid of latency by connecting my console HDMI to my sound bar and then to TV using HDMI ARC. I hope this could work for anybody that has this setup available

[@fnhatic6694]

@@IuliuscesarUribe I feel weirdly lucky, I have so little latency that I can't notice it. I see so many people complaining about it, I think maybe the lag I have is probably 80ms or less, which is functionally non-existent.

[@fnhatic6694]

I guess the downside here is that you don't get the tone effects in-game.

[@thatpalletguy5352]

Do u know by chance the exact name of the splitter cable?

[@MrKing-qd7gi]

@@thatpalletguy5352 I got mine on Amazon and it should show up by just typing "splitter cable". Make sure it fits your guitar. For reference, standard would be 1/4 inch. It's just an adapter so it won't be a long cable or anything. Anymore trouble let me know and I'll do my best to help.

As per another hilarious sort of educational guitar vid with no guitar...how long can u keep this up!

[@brandonlee9582]

another way that ive found to stay motivated, is watching really skilled people on youtube play guitar and jam with other people

[@planlessdan]

That works great for me when I'm already pumped up and need to pump myself up even more, but as I'm usually hanging on the edge of despair, it can also make me seriously demotivated looking at all these crazy guitarists who've been playing since they were 9 or something. I think a twist to that is listening to music that you love, especially if it has guitars in it? Usually I want to create something myself when I hear stuff I connect with, and if I'm feeling so pessimistic that I just feel insignificant compared to it, there is so much punk music that I love now or pop rock I grew up on that isn't showing off and is actually accessible to me that it lights a fire in my belly once again.

Guitar video. Guitar in hand... Doesn’t play a single note

[@TheNachoCTM]

ackchyually he played like 5

[@granthoule]

I love this guy! His videos teach me how to play guitar without actually playing guitar himself! 👍

[@Mynoah16]

Rocksmith really helps, I can very much agree and happy you can help others see this too. Keep it up!!❤️

[@TCBCAFC]

Good video as always , keep up the good work !

[@BatPoolz]

I binged watched a ton of your vids today at work. Then I get home and see you uploaded a new vid! Alright, gotta go practice, bye!

[@Carolinelili413]

I'm pretty sure your opinions might be more valuable to someone just starting out than a pro. You really come at things from the same mindset of someone who isn't as dedicated as some of the pros out there whose advice isn't exactly helpful to someone who isn't already in that rhythm of practicing every day.

[@mikeTHEmanatee]

so.. in lame mans terms, you're dumb and suck at guitar. #harshbro

[@joeblow1942]

This was informative and HILARIOUS.😀 Thanks, dude.

[@BeatsFromDP]

I gotta say man, you may not play much but I wouldn't change that ever because your videos sound like an aspiring guitarist thinking out loud and I'm feeling it. I've been playing guitar for 2 years via Rocksmith and group lessons one semester a year and you sound like MY INNER BRAIN, MAN as opposed to my outer brain but whatever you get it. Please keep it up you're awesome

[@horizonb1744]

Turning guitar practice into a game will help me learn new things more often. I find myself just practicing things I already know rather than learning new things. And I'm hoping this will help

[@jakejoyride]

Great explanation - Thanks for this tips - giving so usefull tips make your channel popular

[@waffle1597]

Nice and straight forward. Sweet!

[@Burdxnboy]

another hilarious video!

[@xchanceontv]

im glad i just found this channel tbh. i actually love this content. ive played bass on rocksmith for a few months and i wonder what i can do with a guitar in the same amount of time. hmmmmmmmmm

[@evanm5256]

Your edits are so funny man I'm glad I accidentally found your channel

[@Julia_Dumna]

I love you dudeeee! ♥️♥️ So happy to have u on earth Well.. That was weird! K bye... ♥️

[@Blumped]

Hey my man another great vid has arrived. Keep the good shit happenin -grateful_d00d

[@edberhasimi2897]

Buys Gibson doesn’t play the gibson. All jokes aside i love you (no homo)❤️

[@richlight]

Red light blue, where are you? What's going on man. Hope everything is good. I feel like you usually put out more videos than you have been lately

[@swam4362]

You can absolutely learn the four basic guitar chords and all the basic power chords and some songs in 60 days. Absolutely. I learned the four chords and some basic strumming patterns in about a week. It isnt THAT hard to do if you have the drive to do it. Bass is very similar. As long as you're in key, you can jam

[@botplaysstuff8721]

Nobody: Redlight Blue: Teaches you how to play guitar without actually playing guitar Me: Yes but also no

[@DavidRodriguez-vf5wp]

He said to believe him so ill do it

[@RedlightBlue]

I appreciate the trust and support

[@xrus0ulitsa]

why do I love the way he speaks so much wth

[@andykerwi]

You swapped the lights. I am pleased

[@fenrir7969]

Totally agree with your conclusions here. Me and my daughter (she's 7) have been picking up guitar and putting it down again so many times over the past couple years we've made very little progress. Now we play Rocksmith together in multiplayer and we're playing almost every day, mostly in Learn a Song mode. It used to be a struggle to get her to want to practice but with Rocksmith she is more enthusiastic than I am now. I think we'll start to follow Justin's guitar course as well soon but at least we have started playing again. I've been given a small mixing desk which allows us to run two guitars into it with the signals going out to two Real Tone cables and two amps, with the better amp receiving the audio from the PC into its aux input. Zero lag and no hiding of our mistakes. One amp even has a pitch shift effect which we use for the emulate bass mode. P.S. Steam currently have a sale on, 40% off Rocksmith DLC. 😉 If you have any DLC it would be great to hear which ones you think are most suitable for beginners.

[@RickKuipers]

I totally forgot that multiplayer is a thing! That's awesome that you're playing together with your daughter. I need to get myself a guitar buddy :D

[@jesseskellington9427]

3:12 "Sustained Motivation" having fun while you do it! 4 the Win! :-)

[@bigdoggo2848]

[@RichHomieLong]

[@LauraW-np2dh]

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

My son is starting to learn some new songs using this game, he's 19 and has been playing guitar for 2 or 3 years, hopefully it helps.

[@bcsimpilot3497]

I love your Yamaha electric guitar...my fave. If I were to buy a guitar. Youre a great KZbinr! I love the honesty dude. Im now convinced that I WILL....not learn guitar...I'll be dead before I can play Mary had a little Lamb like Jeff Beck! Im 69 lol

[@blxckwell]

Missing your videos man!!! #thereturn

[@bkpickell]

Hello: my name is Brian and I'm a "Duck Redux" addict. I have literally played nothing but that stupid game for six hours a day on my days off.

[@jackramone8831]

I'm still waiting for the Tom Morello masterclass video

[@richlight]

If you don't enjoy practicing you might be doing something wrong. Some times when you are in a guitar rutt practice can feel like a chore I get that. Just find a new artist to listen to and.you will see a world of difference in your playing and want to practice

[@randyrrs7028]

practicing scales feel like a chore to me

[@apple_fury3454]

Can you start the Rocksmith Challenge without ever playing a guitar before hand? Do I need any info or skills beforehand?

[@ChetnaSuthar]

Apple_Fury not really

[@bean1131]

what kind of guitar do you have ?

[@berrymccockiner3492]

Nike

[@_kqcper_332]

[@TheHUhelps]

He's not from your generation, but look up Tommy Smothers from the Smothers Brothers. I think you'll enjoy his type of humor. And thanks for your great vids!

[@Scintillius]

I believe you because you have a guitar on your lap

[@jcrackerjcrack6401]

Do you still you Rocksmith? Has it been helpful over the years?

[@colder8741]

You said does it succeed or attempt? Effort means attempt and attempt is uncertain to work.

[@frisky6663]

You are the type to play stairway at guitar center

[@lana-de3jb]

nobody: redlight: makes videos about learning to play a guitar without even playing one

[@dave101t]

[@Benny-js2gv]

[@bluephoenix3865]

Rocksmith really help me on learning how to play the guitar only thing I need help with is learning how to shred and do hard solos

[@theateroftheabsurd2168]

For what its worth from me bro.. Honestly i went down that rabbit hole. Surprisingly lead is some what easier... As long as u know scales with 5 notes u can fool a crowd

[@b.c2810]

Why hello there

[@gillian3708]

[@RedlightBlue]

You're epic.

[@seanash4583]

Hello RLB!! I made an updated version of your PFP, not much of a difference , if you ever want me to make you anything LMK. #RockOn 🤘

[@danieloday9279]

First of all, I believe you. Second of all, I like to warm up with the Blowhole Surfers game, to get my sillies out. The rest of Guitarcade I would juggle through to get high scores. Unfortunately I can't access the uplay segments of the game, so I only have access to leaderboards on Ps3, not steam. That said, playing the game for 43 days or so in a row is a task. I've earned hundreds by now, but never in sequence. I'd say my best showings are the consistency of a bass guitar backbeat picking, or the occasional chord changey song. That said, I've also increased my Rocksmith time to include the first version, for its own flavour of teach me things. Lastly, the quiet Game can be competitive af. I was a babysitter. Heh. Toodles~

[@kyleknepper4016]

So where the new videos..... I don't like when my fav youtuber goes dark....

[@ROOKTABULA]

Just think if you played guitar as much as you sit talking while holding a guitar??!!?! Hello EVH!

[@BrimmJobb]

Still waiting to hear anything... Seriously just do it... lol

[@yesitrotamundos2904]

So I can't really show you the progress, but belieeeeve me! Okay bye!

[@danielrobinson3654]

I can't even get Rocksmith to launch with sound so it's not teaching me much

[@Arrow8D]

perfect for left handed people becasue non of the music sheets are left handed :/

[@randyrrs7028]

rocksmith didnt help me, it gave me a bad sense of timing due to its lag

[@ChetnaSuthar]

Mine didn’t lag

[@cos7492]

why does this guy sound like he is out of breath the entire time 😂

[@smittycle9952]

“Rocksmith”

[@julianbagtang6743]

WHO TF DISLIKED THIS?

[@zardoz7900]

I have an existential issue with guitars because there's billions who play it ranging from Chinese toddlers to 12 year old girls and they are all stellar at it and no one cares.

[@govindagarwal5410]

Do you ever fuckin play?

[@Pumpkinbros]

can you stop using the exact same drum thing for every video, it just loops over and over, man my ears bleed, put in some lofi or something, just something that changes beats, dont want to be mean, i actually do love your content tho
