[@Mudamaza]

I started off with rocksmith, played a good 600 hours on it before i bought my own amp and decided to learn through tabs. Personally I think rocksmith has its ups and downs. For instance, it allowed me to learn my chord shapes and be able to play songs easily. The problem i found the most about it is that i wasn't retaining the song. I was always so dependent on looking at the screen to know what to do next that I never actually learned the song. But the fact that it got me started on the greatest hobby i've ever had, I gotta say I owe Rocksmith a huge debt of gratitude.

[@JPPWB]

Likewise, I played guitar for a while before starting Rocksmith and after nearly 400 hours I've got really good at sight reading in it but I can't remember how to play most of the songs in it anymore.

[@jtswhitewater4940]

Mudamaza Same here it’s good to know I’m not the only one ☝️

[@kayceeluvsdnb2471]

Hey guess it will be the same for me...but as a cpl newbie at the guitar and a late starter (age 35) I hope to get used to the handling of the guitar :) Just like muscle memory at online gaming ;)

[@UM83RTO]

@@JPPWB It's almost like with sheet music. You play by reading but there comes a point where you have to stop looking at the notes to fully remember it. Sadly the game doesn't have a mode where it would only maybe hint at what you should play (bridge, solo etc.) instead of always showing the notes.

[@xx-knight-xx2119]

@@UM83RTO it does have master.mode which will fade the notes out if you get a lot in a row right.

[@Chainbrain]

As someone who played guitar for 14 years before touching Rocksmith, it was much easier to just crank the difficulty and not bother with the riff leveling up features. Obviously if you are just learning, its better to keep it that way

[@ardipithecus11]

As someone playing guitar for some 15 years, this game was unplayable until I figured out you could flip the tab around. I love it now. Great video. Cheers.

[@ashtonr6751]

I've been playing guitar for like 10 years and I love rocksmith I got it because I figured it was like guitar hero with an actual guitar... which it was. As someone who already knew how to play it was like using a skill I already knew to play a video game, I loved it.

[@hopfrogg9599]

You can google how to fix the latency. Also, you should have inverted the tabs for him and I think he would have picked it up even faster. Good editing.

[@RedlightBlue]

i wish we thought of that. i didn't even know you could do that, but noted. thank you. wish i had you as a consultant beforehand lmao

[@hopfrogg9599]

If you use tabs I'd recommend you do it as well. It makes going back and forth between the two much easier. The go through the neck look is great for beginners who have no idea what tabs are. Yes the brain still adjusts after a few minutes, but playing RS inverted makes bouncing back and forth seamless and helps your tab reading.

[@RedlightBlue]

@@hopfrogg9599 awesome. I'll give it a go

[@jamrhein2]

Damn I didnt know you could invert them. I had been playing guitar for 10yrs when the game first came out and the inversion is what messed me up. I never got passed like the 2nd song. Hated it. I'm gonna have to go back and try again now lol.

[@TheVictorB8]

If you use a computer to play Rocksmith you can use a common speaker to play without any latency, but probably you used an HDMI cable, so that was the reason of such latency. I've had this problem when connecting my PC to my TV set, so I managed to just show video on TV and audio on my speaker/headphones

[@JoshHarmskii]

I started playing guitar back in 2015 when I was a freshman in High School. A friend showed me Rocksmith and I instantly fell in love with it. Four years later, every cover on my channel are all songs I’ve learned from Rocksmith, because of Rocksmith.

[@RedlightBlue]

rocksmith on. i still have a hard time of remembering the notes outside the game aha. still a lot of fun to play though

[@sh4rkbyt3]

Much of that is simply repetition Redlight Blue, I'm the same way. I don't always pick up every single note but over time I remember more and more each time I practice and play.

@@RedlightBlue The other trick that everyone ends up using to actually learn the songs and check they're techniques, is use a pedal to split guitar output to an amp and to game with the guitar turned down in the game.

[@jakebennett8962]

Redlight Blue there is also a setting to correct lag although it’s not perfect. It vary with setup

Almost all the latency cones from using hdmi audio. Shits slow af and makes the game unplayable through a tv.

@@benfennell6842 Yeah don't use HDMI (not for the sound anyway), the latency makes it extremely unfun. There'll always be a little but at least it's bearable Also let the dude flip the strings if he wants. I bet he loves tabs

[@chriscoughs5774]

I can say that I've owned the game for a day, being very bad at guitar, and my playing has significantly improved in that timeframe. I still suck, but I suck less. Edit: With about 40 hours in the game, I can freaking play the Hypnotize solo at full difficulty relatively well.

[@doegywhail728]

Why does no one ever read the leaflet inside the game. You can cut the latency by following those guide lines. Or is it different for Xbox?

[@RedlightBlue]

tbh it's my bad. but now i've bought the pc version, so we'll be doing it again soon.

[@DarkDemise6066]

@@RedlightBlue I was going to say, on console hdmi for audio is really bad for this game. If you go into the options on PC there's an "audio engine" setting. If you have a really good PC you can turn this down to 2 (default is 5) to reduce the amount of buffer frames, so the audio latency will be barely noticeable. Just make sure not to use HDMI for audio. I'm excited to see your next video.

[@omgvague]

There is no workaround for cutting latency on XBox. Its just how Microsoft handles audio, and there is no fix.

[@omgvague]

In regards to Xbox One, this is a reply from Ubisoft when I asked them about audio latency: Thank you for contacting Ubisoft Support. The Xbox One does not have analog connections and therefore, the best setup is with an optical cable directly to a receiver that does very minimal sound conversion. This setup works well for most users, but still will show increased audio lag compared to the Xbox 360 version utilizing analog connections.

I've been using Rocksmith for years for fun and just to keep my hands in better shape as I have neurological damage from motor vehicle accidents. I tell people all the time to try it. I've been playing since the age of 12 and I'm 45 now, it's still fun and you always learn something or a different perspective of doing stuff as well. It's a great system for anyone

[@firemonkey1015]

Pros of rocksmith : - Easy to grasp lessons - Decent technique exercises - Guitarcade - Ability to slow the song or speed it up - Ability to add less or more notes - Engaging and fun, possibly making practice more exciting for some people Cons of rocksmith (in my opinion) : - Takes far longer to improve than learning without it - Hard to sometimes hear your mistakes with background music (muted notes, bad hammer-ons pull offs, etc) - Limited song selection without paying - Nearly impossible to retain a song, when you put it down you realize you still can’t play guitar Overall : I think you’re better off without rocksmith, I’ve tried it and sank 100 hours. 10 hours without it and I was already much better than anything I had learned in those 100 hours. A year later and I don’t regret being self taught without rocksmiths help, I believe I’m 100x better than I would’ve been. It’s a good game for fun when you’re skilled already, not so much for learning because of the flaws I mentioned.

[@yol_n]

Would you say rocksmith+ is better since it uses tabs? Also on this review do you think rocksmith is better only for *some* stuff like guitarcade?

[@BilgewaterWarden]

Rock smith is what I used to teach myself guitar for the most part. When I first got my guitar, I played by ear decently but rock smith seemed like it would teach me more! So I got it for Christmas whenever I was 16, and by no surprise I can play a lot of songs now! I’m still working on trying to perfect pinch harmonics and two hand tapping while also memorizing how to play songs without the game but now I’m getting into doing my own riffs and messing with my own tones. Great way to learn! I always recommend it to people wanting to get into playing guitar!

You have it set up wrong if you get latency, never had latency on console before

[@lastxp]

There is no latency on PS4 if you use Sony headphones or get the audio straight from the optical out. All latency comes from what comes after the PS4 like HDMI audio conversion and TV audio effects etc. So get a dac with optical in or a USB audio converter and notice the difference.

[@RedlightBlue]

[@Rikalonius]

I took some lessons years ago, I got back into the guitar because of the Rocksmith. I agree guitarcade really helps with dexterity, and I've enjoyed growing learning to play songs. Now I'm in a band of old farts like myself, but Rocksmith really helped me get through the that first year where people give up. You get what you put into it. Castle Chordhead really caused my hands and fingers pain that helped me grow. I also like scale ninjas and star chords. There are many ways to practice with the program that keep you intersted and moving foward. It can't be the only thing that you use, but it's a good tool.

[@RedlightBlue]

ooh, that's an interesting idea. gonna look into it

Mr J Puddin you can also do the calibration feature and it will adjust for latency.

[@macdietz]

@@kpag3030 the calibration feature just minimizes the lag to a slightly less unplayable level... playing with a receiver and external speakers is the only way to really reduce the lag but you can only do that with component cables so that blows too

I noticed you've already been lambasted by everyone for using the HDMI signal :) Just a couple notes. I've been playing guitar for 15 years and picked up Rocksmith about 3 years ago. Note registering is guitar/pickup dependent, I've found. It's pretty different from one guitar to the next. I play with six different guitars and some will have more trouble registering low strings while the others have trouble with the high strings and a couple don't seem to have much trouble with either. Just make sure you do the "calibration" (in tuning section) each time you plug a different guitar in. That solves a lot of the note registration issues. I have it on PC and XBOX One X. To get rid of most the latency on the Xbox, I bought an HDMI->analog converter to run through my Yamaha Aventage receiver and set it to use the pure stereo signal. The more digital effects that touch the signal, the more latency you'll have. Some amps are worse than others. If your amp has a "pure" option, use it. If you can keep a digital processor out of the signal chain, you'll have very little latency. Look forward to an updated vid! As a seasoned player myself, I found the latency to totally ruin the game. But after latency was no longer an issue, the game was quite fun. I'd also recommend going into settings and choose the option to override the leveling up stuff, it just sets it to "master" (can't remember what it's called). It simply shows all the notes and plays the songs how they were written. Much easier for a seasoned guitarist than starting with missing notes.

all very helpful. i actually bought it for the pc since making this vid, so the latency issues are mostly resolved! if you have any recommendations for what kind of guitar works best with the game, i'd love to hear them:) i'm in the market for a new guitar atm aha. also yeah!! hoping to make an updated one later this month

I play with 8 very different guitars and have zero latency issues on PC. I do agree that some pickups have slight registering issues bit that's easily solved using the calibration tool. Most problems sound like they're console related?

Bought rocksmith 3 years ago as a 38 year old who always wanted to play. I still struggle, but more so due to dedication more than anything. The latency is annoying and sometimes it feels like it doesn't register notes i play, but i love me some rocksmith

[@RedlightBlue]

The note registering is brutal on the low e I find... but yeah, rocksmith's tight

[@fu6817]

I have no latency, but the note registering thing is annoying.

I switched from PS3 to PC when 2014 came out and I've never looked back. I much prefer it on the PC as i don't have the issues with note registration, even after doing the latency calibration, that i did on the PS3. Maybe it's better on the PS4, but I like it on the PC, even if I had to rebuy some of my songs on Steam.
