Rocksmith 60-Day Challenge -- Jayme's Success Story -- Learn How To Play Guitar In 60 Days

[@Zorisx]

This game isn't about getting someone GOOD at guitar. It's about slowly allowing the individual to develop patience, discipline and a genuine interest in the instrument which is by far the hardest step to take.

[@collindemmin3735]

True that, brother. Imagine that the guitar is a lady, you need to stroke it and be stern at the same time

[@RagedContinuum]

it gets the muscle memory growing though

[@TheBradminer]

Zorisx I totally agree. I'm using this to learn, and it really has got me interested in guitar

I first saw this video and all the other 60 Day Challenge Rocksmith stuff last year mid September. I had a guitar that I never learned to play sitting in my house for 20 human years (I'm 36). I bought Rocksmith and played everyday for just 15-30 minutes for 60 days and then re-watched the videos and realized I was on the same skill level as all the people in them. Now just after five months I am playing about 1-2 hours a day. Don't dismiss Rocksmith as a valid teaching tool because it is a game. Six months ago all I could play was an open E chord, now I can actually play guitar and bass guitar enough to impress friends and family.

[@Dextergec413]

I like that it's obvious to anyone that plays the guitar that this guy hasn't developed that much really at all in 60 days but he's improved and more importantly, he's feeling confident. I'm willing to bet if someone REALLY took 60 days and spent 8 hours a day on guitar with this game/program (as well as looking up youtube videos for technique) you'd be amazed at how much they learned.

[@XBlueM0ndayX]

Rocksmith is just meant to be the beginning of your journey. Guitar and bass are NOT fun instruments to start learning, finger placement, learning theory, training your ears, building up the muscle memory, these things are neither easy nor fun to do. But by teaching you songs and not chords or scales Rocksmith keeps your interest by letting you put a bunch of notes together, in time with a tune you like. Once you get past the barrier of not being able to do a thing on guitar you'll actually be motivated to continue learning.

[@MaynardOwns]

+XBlueM0ndayX Yeah no to mention the bitches that quit over burning finger tips. That goes away after about 3 days. Depending on how long you play. Even calloused tips can get uncomfortable after 3-5 hours of playing. Part of the journey. I'm self taught, not bad, not amazing, I wish I took music classes in school. There are free courses on Coursera. com or net through Berkeley, from beginner guitar to advanced theory, to song writing ect. I should look into those. Even if all I get is a certificate that I need to print out myself. At least I'll know more than just basic theory.

[@BlueDream71071]

+MaynardOwns chill

[@alvarg]

+XBlueM0ndayX Yep, but you'll continue learning with any mistakes in your playing style which is now drilled in as you haven't learn't proper techniques, your ears won't be trained very well as your so used to using your eyes to see whats next to play instead of listening for transitions in music, muscle memory will be there for some songs but due to potential faults in the technique it won't help much for different songs and you'll wonder why your not progressing and why they seem so impossible to learn, im not saying rocksmith is bad idea, i'm just warning anyone that there is usually downsides when you try and shortcut learning an instrument.

[@alvarg]

+MaynardOwns the only type of training i recommend is in person, so an instructor can see your level, your technique and see if there's anything that you're doing wrong, or at least that needs improvement, it could be something simple that looks completely normal but is in fact hindering your progression or making things harder for you. i don't know how long you been playing but i'm happy to give you tips that might help you if your interested.

[@SuHAibLOL]

+XBlueM0ndayX Really? They're not fun? Learning guitar is the funnest thing in my life.

[@NatiiixLP]

For all those who say this game won't teach you how to really play guitar... Yes, it won't teach you how to play any song just by looking at notes or so but it gives you the important push and gives you the most important lessons... Then you're able to learn how to play almost any song in just few days...

[@MsGudmundur]

Yeah but where is the challenge in that? The BEST way to become a good guitarist is simply by listening the songs out. That way, when you´ve been doing it for a while, you´ll be able to learn almost any song in about 5 minutes, simply by listening to it ;)

[@NatiiixLP]

Gudmundur Mortensen There is no way you could learn a song by listening to it.. You can play it similary but you won't ever hit those exact notes..

Rainbow Nati Man you are pretty wrong...How do you think they learned songs back in the day...You really can learn the basics of a song for like 5 minutes and then you need something like an hour to learn every guitar part in the song...

[@NatiiixLP]

[@Flacksh0t]

+preachedantonio Bass players good too?

[@jensken007]

+Flacksh0t Can not say for myself but I have a friend which plays bass and from his expirience he told me he got a lot better since he picked this up. (about a year ago) And still plays it from time to time because he's to busy with the band he's in. I should say pick it up and don't forget to pick up dlc to get more veriaty. Also , the pc version is "better" cause of more acces to dlc & custom songs (free) from customsforge.com/ (need to make an account for it). Which gives you the learn all your beloved songs. Good luck.

[@jensken007]

+Jens van den meersch Best to buy the game on steam and order a cable from amazon or of that sort. Since often steam has sales on the game AND it's dlc.

[@DamienDarksideBlog]

My girlfriend bought me a full guitar starter kit for my birthday this year after a few years of saying I always wanted one. I spent an hour learning the basics of tab and then two hours trying to plink out "House of the Rising Sun"'s first little chorus. After three hours I could hit the notes with a solid twenty seconds in between them and nothing more. I didn't know the basics of guitar. I didn't know the fundamentals. I didn't know if I was even holding the pick right let alone how to go from one note to the other! Then I used a gift card I had and bought Rocksmith. Now I can actually play a little bit of it after a week! I am now supplementing a bit of what I have practiced from Rocksmith and using it with Tab to learn other songs! I went from a too-high-strap off-tune single-note moron to playing a few actual chords. Rocksmith teaches you the basic of playing a guitar paired with your own desire to learn. It gives you confidence to try new things. It gives you better handling and reflexes to play chords and do hammer on and pull offs. Most importantly it encourages you with the patience that only software could provide. If you pair this up with your own learning (be it by ear or by reading tab) you WILL learn how to play guitar.

[@LucasGaming2oo3]

Okay, I'm seeing a lot of comments about how this is fake. I'm playing this and while he's progressing a little faster than me, this does work. It won't make you a pro and it won't teach you absolutely everything, but it will make sure that if you see a guitar, then you can play it. And besides, on rocksmith's facebook page, they even said that they expect you to use rocksmith along with other ways of learning.

[@dr150]

This isn't fake. You can progress to the level these guys get to in 60 days. It's really not that hard if your practice enough. I'm sure these guys were _committed_ to learn since they had the camera on them all the time.

[@Morphoidism]

I have been learning for about 8 years now and some people do pick it up quicker than others. A lot of people just quit trying. This game isnt going to help make someone a "rock god" but it certainly is a step in the right direction. There is so much more in this version than the first one. I have already found myself getting past a few hurdles I was having with the help of 2014....

I'm a casual guitar player but never really put any effort in improving my skills until I started playing this game. For a fraction of the cost of guitar lessons, this is definitely worth it.

I have played the guitar for a long time now, and I think this will be fun to try. Should I get it?

[@5115neo]

I would say yes. It's a lot of fun

[@MaynardOwns]

+Pineapple Yeah I've been playing for about 10 years and never got better than learning songs from internet tabs, Tool songs from ear. Never took the time to practice scales and all the shit that it takes to become a really good guitar player. Video games took over my life I stopped playing for a LONG time. Bought the original one from a friend so I can play guitar while getting achievements. It pretty much forced me to practice all while getting achievements. Some songs taught me really awesome chords I would have never took the time to have learned other wise. Finally took the time to practice scales. Its really annoying at first. I knew a bunch of the songs in the beginning of the game and it started me off WAY too slow. I was playing chords when they wanted me to play single notes, playing notes I knew were there that they didn't want me to play so it advanced me pretty quickly. And it takes a while to get used to the display, paying attention to that and playing at the same time makes you want to lose your mind. I just wish I never sold my Gibson Les Paul Custom Classic Silverburst. Or my Dean From Hell for drug money. I'm using a shitty Ibanez Gio from like 98. Only problem is a spring on the bridge pickup fell out so I had to rig it until I change the strings. And dead notes on the high e 19 and 21 frets, and the 21st on the low E. Which really sucks now that I'm learning hard ass leads. Clapton, some song boss by Chris Lee. Sweet Home Alabama, I know when their mastered I'm gonna need to play at least one of those notes in at least one of those songs. Anyway, it reignited my passion for guitar. I used to play for hours and hours when I was all fucked up. Then I stopped doing drugs and it seemed like something was lost when I played. So yeah get it.

[@Nasengold]

I can say I learned to play E-bass from Rocksmith 2014. In my state today as a bass rookie, who is playing Rocksmith 2014 for about 5months now, I'm 100% aware of the fact that to archive what I have archived with Rocksmith I would have spent at least 2 years on KZbin with the same level of dedication. But there is one point to it... Rocksmith is a game... it entertains you and doesn't frustrate you. You learn because it's fun. This point alone makes it the very best learning tool for beginners out there. I can play 3 songs straight out of my head and I can play some epic riffs from top bands like Metallica. I fully recommend it.

[@SleepinMongoose]

Beginners see this and say "Oh wow, a possibly new way to get introduced to LEARNING guitar!" People who already play see this and say "Oh my gosh, these guys aren't playing over their heads with a violin bow, what's the point?"

[@MooseyFate100]

Yeah, I play it every other day or so.

[@Mugenloo]

THESOGGYSPONGE Session mode shows all other notes that would sound good with what you're already playing in a nice chord displayand gives the scale/key names in addition (as well as suggesting other keys you could break into). There is definitely scope for improvisation practice, let alone lock suggestions to pentatonics

Does Rocksmith have a Bass setting? kinda like how Guitar hero has bass tracks?

[@ryanbrighouse6719]

Yeah. You choose when you start whether you want to play lead, rhythm or bass. Think you can also use a regular 6 string as a bass too if you dont have a bass guitar.

[@KiddCrowley]

I do, hence the question. Its just that my friend was asking if I ever wanna come round and play rockstar. But sadly I don't have a guitar, only a bass. Looks like my Sunday evening is sorted :)

[@osirissalgado6689]

In real life you never can learn all guitar but this game gives people a chance to learn, I like that because too bad when I got into guitar when I wad 10 back in 94 I wished they had a game like this.

[@gigioasb]

Well, let me talk about my story. I'm 38 years old, I bought the first Rocksmith two years ago, I never touch a guitar in my life before that. Te first 2 months was dificult, but I'm only played from 2 to 5 hours per week. Today I can play fine (not like a pro), so, is a good tool to learn to play guitar.

[@kasey7638]

I bought Rock Smith only for the purpose of having fun and to see what it's all about. People who play it because they think it will make them a great guitar player are sadly mistaken. Other than the "lessons" you're not going to learn a whole lot of anything. You play songs over and over until you master them, but you know what the funny part about "mastering" a song is? Now you have to re-master them without the game telling you what to do and better yet you must learn how to use an amp first. I can learn a song in the same amount of time as I can on Rock Smith but the only difference is with Rock Smith you're only able to remember very little after you finish playing. Also, It's easy to think that you are learning quickly when you can barely hear the sound that your guitar is making over all of the other instruments and the authentic tone just makes you feel like you're doing even that much better when in reality you still suck at guitar.

[@jonathanmckiddy9169]

The only thing that will make you great at guitar is years of dedicated practice, continually expanding upon your base of knowledge by learning and mastering new techniques and continually challenging yourself to play better than you did the day before. Rocksmith is just one of many options for someone who is just getting into guitar to learn the fundamentals and build up their hands and muscle memory, and it's not any worse than teaching yourself to play guitar. No matter what you're using or who is teaching you, if you don't take it upon yourself to make sure you are learning proper technique and putting in enough time practicing, you're never going to be a great guitar player.

[@kasey7638]

Jonathan Mckiddy I agree with most of what you just said but I still think that Rocksmith is a pointless way of learning how to play the guitar. Any guitar lesson that a novice, average, or even advanced player would ever need are all right here on KZbin. MartySongz is a great example, he has a video for almost anything you could imagine and the best part about is that it's free. He even takes the time to give in-depth analysis, finger placements, proper posture, techniques, suggestions, etc. Way more than RockSmith offers.

[@rafenmartenpevemancue5472]

I bought Rocksmith because I wanted just to learn the basics of guitar, while learning a few songs along the way. I still have to take lessons but because of Rocksmith I had a head start :D

[@Angielyrica]

A lot of people are looking way to far into it. This game is obviously not THAT much for someone who's guitar playing is second nature... while no one agreed that playing rocksmith will make you a "great player"... I'm sure it will help you take a step up from hardly even holding it right. I agree on the volume thing you've said, but saying Rocksmith is a stupid way to learn guitar is just out there... I've learned sitting in a fold up chair with a bullshit amp and still suck... it's no different than bullshitting with notes and blah blah blah... it's just a fun non-serious way of learning simple songs.

[@deckerdoesitdiy]

Your wrong dude. I have been playing guitar for 20 years and rocksmith helps me learn scales and speed. When you watch the screen and play you should also interpret what you are doing on the neck. You get to watching the screen at first to lead you in the right direction and then transition yourself to watching the neck instead of the tv. The trick is you learn with your ears not your eyes

This may help you learn guitar fast, but it's not the best way to learn (which would be by yourself, best way to learn and perfect any instrument, but getting help later on helps)

[@ihatethissitejkh]

The best way to learn is whatever way keeps you practicing on a daily basis. Rocksmith makes it super fun and in my experience has been *way* more rewarding than practicing alone. I tried practicing by myself for years and it just sucked, I'd never stick with it. Been really liking Rocksmith so far though, can't see it getting old for a long time.

[@ruvensama]

i don't know, from my own experience (and from many others who've played guitar and this game) is that learning by yourself was better altogether, and also a tad bit more fun (not to mention more challenging)

[@ihatethissitejkh]

Again, it's whatever way keeps you practicing on a daily basis :) I believe that worked for you, but going it alone is not the optimal learning strategy we see for any learning or goal achievement in general. Many beginners will never make it through that phase if left to go it alone.

[@IliasJoels]

Jonathan Howard The final question: did you improve a lot within those 4 months using rocksmith?

[@MaxTheKid510]

This thing really works! I learned it in 5 days

[@tsjeriAu]

When I started playing Rocksmith (bass), I couldn't play for more than an hour, 2 tops, in the first couple of months, as the skin on my fingers hadn't hardened enough. After that hour or 2 it became physically painful to play. I assume it's similar for others who haven't played the guitar. I played 99.99% songs though. I've been playing Rock Band for a few years, expert bass (many 100%). Eventually I started on the technique challenges on Rocksmith, got all but 3 goldstarred atm.

[@MattJasa]

I don't believe this will take you from zero to hero but it is great for practice. I've played Rocksmith 2013. You will learn to play some simple songs but without further instruction you might find difficulty building the proper form. For futher instructions try www.justinguitar.com/ (free website) With that said I havn't tried Rocksmith 2014, so I don't know if it has more to offer. If you own an electric guitar already then I highly recommend Rocksmith as a practice tool.

[@demetriusstump8654]

For anyone interested in learning how to play guitar, I would go with Rocksmith. No, you're not going to be a guitar legend after 60 days, but you will learn how to strum and learn your chords. I would advise watching guitar lessons on KZbin in conjuction with playing Rocksmith. With enough patience, practice, and diligence, you'll be on your way to becoming a solid guitar player.

[@deadeye2178]

I totally agree mate i spent years playing and I'm still not as good as i want

[@JBeni22]

The game has this minigames which are based on technics. For example, the typical spaceship shooting. If you want to shoot at a target, you need to play a chord to hit it, if you get it wrong, you miss. Just like that, there are lots of minigames for tremolo picking, bending, etc. Besides, you can practice a part in a song which the game recognizes it's difficult for you and you can go to this called the "Riff Repeater". It's kind of cool, I like it. I'd prefer a guitar teacher though...

If someone wants something similar for piano, Synthesia connects to a piano via Midi so you'll need a USB - Midi adapter, a nice Soundfont, some time to set it all up, and you'll good to go. I personally use CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth loaded with the HQ Orchestral Soundfont Collection off a Musescore forum post. As for actual songs I use random tracks out of a 130,000 MIDI pack (~3.5GB worth) of random songs, in there you can choose random Orchestral songs and improve that way ^.^

[@jasoncarter3728]

Then I realised why should a dish out that kind of money on a plastic toy when I could learn a real skill. I don't plan on joining a band, I just want to have a nice casual time learning songs I have listened to countless times before. I have never played guitar before so should I actually buy this or save my money for something else? I would prefer people who learned to play on Rocksmith but anyone is welcome for their opinions. Thank you!

[@Fray789]

If you want to progress really fast you need to play through the pain, this way your fingers(fingertips) will harden faster. It depends on the kind of pain, though and without a teacher or someone to help you and give you feedback it you may be better off playing until the pain starts as you did.

I got this, played a song i knew by heart and played it like the game wanted me to and said i was playing on the wrong frets the whole time.

[@jayt7112]

I need a legit answer from somebody that plays guitar or bass and have also used Rocksmith at some point. So is Rocksmith worth picking up if you want to learn enough about the bass to eventually create your own music? It seems like it's just meant to teach you how to cover songs. Does it properly show you scales, chords, techniques, etc? I want to be able to improvise and play the sounds in my head out on an actual bass. Will this help me get there?

[@the_nondrive_side]

I like the Studio goth edition Les Paul.

[@SkyFalllast]

Loved his Kick-Ass movies!

All you need is windows media player, slow song down to 0.5 speed, boom

[@johnjohn-kd7fl]

I played guitar for about 3 years in highschool. My parents threw out all my music (even some songs I wrote [trash but they were mine]) due to religious reasons. I'm looking for a fun way to get back into it. This might be it.

Hey... I live in Germantown...

[@STBRetired1]

Rocksmith couldn't answer my question. Maybe someone here can. There are TWO Rocksmiths - Rocksmith 2014 Edition with cable, released 10/22/2013 for $ 79.99 and Rocksmith 2014 Edition-REMASTERED with cable, released 10/04/2016 for $ 59.99. What is the difference between the two versions? Why does the older version cost more than the newer remastered version? Which should I buy?

[@generalnando5722]

just get the remastered don't question it

[@thebeastroage]

I want this!

[@kodybeasley2148]

Im from germantown too lol was born at shady grove

[@kep67]

Is it possible to create 2 player profiles? My son is playing way more than me and is getting way better on some of the songs.

[@TRNFloyd]

SplinterCellRocks for PC it's as simple as just making a new profile ingame I believe. thats how it was for the previous rocksmith anyways.

[@kep67]

Floyd Hunter How do you make a profile 'ingame'? is that just making a new console profile?

[@TRNFloyd]

kep67 With rocksmith on my computer, i start up the game, it goes through all its intro crap, shows the title and says something like "enter to continue". you hit enter and it says "choose a profile" and you can hit space bar to create a new one or enter to chose the selected one. But that's for PC only. Idk how it works on console but I'd like to believe its remotely the same but with console buttons.

[@OpusPenguin56]

Some factors are not explained. Such as, how long each day did he practice; one hour, two, several? Did he just practice songs or use any of the tools that come with Rocksmith?

[@jburitto]

I can relate to this guy

[@brendonrookes1151]

i mean it makes sense learning a new skill is like being a painter when u first throw paint on it looks awful but as your colours blend and fade it turns beautiful so it makes sense that u will go from meh to ok to good

[@diegocafe13]

Ocarina?! I love it.

[@hazelfloof927]

Epiphone is everywhere in anything related to Rocksmith. All the people in the '60 day challenges' all play Epiphones (Because epiphone sponsors rocksmith / product placement') Aswell that even the 100 riffs guy playing 100 riffs in the Rocksmith 2014 tracklist even had to use an epiphone, because otherwise if their was any other guitar beside Epiphone in a Rocksmith ad / premotional video that would be breaking Epiphones sponsor agreement

[@williamschaffer2858]

Is there a bass version of rocksmith?

[@cyheng6687]

Can the total beginner ( Green Birds ) using acoustic guitar for Rocksmith2014 ? Quite confused

[@TheOriginalProfG]

How many hours a day did you practice?

[@stevenl3265]

ProfG as much as you need and want. It's all about passion.

[@PAPAxPALPATlNE]

I wish i could have done this, well, I'll do my own

[@jimbola77]

do you recommend this over firestik+???? thank's p.s. do they have a 2017 version???

[@CoffeeMusic]

Can i post videos of me playing songs from this game?

[@RobertCow]

rocksmith is good only for fundamental knowledge about the guitar. I've been playing for 2 years and still facing troubles with some techniques.

[@gamerboi2552]

Holy shit I live in Germantown MD TOOO

[@julsie3195]

Guy: "Hey man I learned how to play guitar using just rocksmith!" Buddy: "Sweet man! Let's hear some triplets." Guy: "What are those?"

[@whywedrink]

I have a Gaming PC, Xbox 360, and a PS3. Which is the best platform to use Rocksmith on?

[@aquarist]

saga genesis

[@ni-nimusic2127]

+John Edwards Pc. You can download thousands of custom songs free

[@TheEchelonMember]

is that the guitar from "guitar included" version?

[@LeafyRouge]

Only problem I have with Rocksmith (Don't get me wrong, I think it's an absolutely WONDERFUL method to learn) is that its method of teaching is a little inconsistent with what a modern day guitarist needs to stand out. I personally take very heavy music lessons weekly, covering everything from soloing to advanced music theorey. Those classes help me to improve, develop my own style and achieve more than just covering popular songs. Of course, relying on a video game (albeit an awesome one) to learn an instrument alone would be stupid, but it certainly leaves out one of the most important aspect of playing; a guitarist's ability to improvise.

[@rogersartandsolutions5074]

The game actually has an improv mode, it shows you scales that you can play and it throws together a backing track for you to jam over. The scales it gives range from Pentatonic Minor to Phrygian Dominant. You can also select what key and in what style you want it from Classic Rock to Fusion.

[@Aidanmakare]

I made so much more progression then this just in my first month learning on my own. The keys to success for me was having a friend who could kind of play the guitar and show me the ropes, not focusing on boring exercises and scales at first and instead learning songs and solos and understanding how they work and were written and overall just having fun with it and playing EVERY day. Started out with seven nations army, the November rain solo, how of the rising sun... those were just a few I remember. Idk I tend to pick stuff up quicker as my family tells me but this game is NOT the fastest way, its just "fun" I guess. Pentatonics and understanding key gets you comfortable very quick, definitely need to grasps those things for fast progression and understanding how to improvise.

[@XCalB]

Can I do it in 30 days if I do it twice a day?

[@genesis7862]

25 years old?

[@LOG8910]

all you people that say this is a more realistic representation to you i say everyone learns differently and progresses differently. some people pick it up faster than others.
