PRO GUITAR TEACHER TRIES ROCKSMITH+ 

Not gonna lie, looking at Brandon longer than 45 seconds feels surreal.

As a guy who started on Rocksmith, the best way to learn songs after you get comfortable with the guitar is to do 100 percent difficulty, then start the riff you want to learn at 50 percent speed, then keep cranking it up.

so Im gonna real quick point out that this is a marketing attempt to get eyes off the fact that rocksmith just updated to a more subscription focused model and are using this to try and drive the narrative away from that justified backlash

I just wanna say as a teacher you are one of my invaluable resources to keep challenging myself and to keep learning.

Rocksmith+ die due to the subscription model paired with no guaranteed library. The song library can change at any time. Rocksmith two thousand fourteen was amazing with its c d l c. As long as I keep digital copies I will never lose my song library.

I've been using Rocksmith for a hot minute it's a fun game but I would definitely recommend letting it have the adaptive setting instead of setting it to a difficulty because it will adjust to how often you're missing notes and how often you predict correctly

I’ve got nearly 1000 hours in Rocksmith 2014 and while there is a slight learning curve to associating strings with different colors it’s been a fantastic way to learn my favorite songs. The game will automatically change your guitar’s tone to match the song throughout, so you can just focus on playing the guitar and if you hit the right notes on time you sound just like the recording. Sometimes I’ll use a different pickup on my guitar just to standout a little more from the recording if I’m feeling it. Riff repeater is one of my favorite features as you can slow the song down and gradually speed up as your accuracy increases, which makes learning complicated solos or getting your timing just right on chord transitions much easier. R14 had video lessons and exercises that are made into pixelated arcade games but honestly haven’t played them much. This game doesn’t replace a real guitar instructor but it’s the perfect addition for helping you practice and improve. I love Rocksmith 2014, because you bought the game and each song or pack of songs once AND get the REAL song that was yours to play. Unfortunately R14 is being discontinued and replaced with Rocksmith+ which has a subscription model 🙄. I mean they kept a lot of the great features from the 2014 version, but you don’t get the REAL song recording in many cases. They’re mostly cover versions of the songs which are pretty good but it’s not the same, and there’s my honest unsponsored review.

If anyone is curious why youtubers are suddenly covering this game/service after having such an awful launch its because they finally have the actual songs, not just covers that sound like they belong on kids bop

Are you playing using Bluetooth headphones? Bluetooth introduces lag that makes syncing with the track nearly impossible

Have been thinking about getting rocksmith + so this have been very helpfull, thnx

I started guitar through Rocksmith 2014. I remember slaving over the riffs in the lessons for like 15 minutes just trying to learn about 10 seconds of music. I no longer use it much at all as the song library is limiting and it's much easier to actually practice the stuff you play vs sightreading everything. That being said, If you play an hour of Rocksmith everyday for the full 60 days, I'd be surprised if you couldn't learn 3 songs in that time

Tried this but don’t have a PC and the phone version was way too small. Rocksmith 2014 on the Playstation with the direct cable is pretty nice though…have to pay for each song pack though and they supposedly disabled the ability to get it anymore digitally.

Alright Alright, I'm off the cigarettes! Praise God!

Dude when I play the rocksmith the guitar plays on the tv after I strum.

the biggest hurdle is learning how to sight read rocksmith, I have to fight looking at my fretboard and looking at my screen

Fortunately , all my friends are OFF THE FOOKIN CIGARETTES!!!!

For beginners - it’s good them to be in contact with other beginners

While the song library is massive, so I'm sure they have bangers on there but rocksmith 2014 is now free (because you *have* to pirate it) Does everything rocksmith + does as well as having a potential library of hundreds of thousands of songs because unlike rocksmith + you can make and download tracks for custom songs. Oh, and the common version to pirate? Comes with the entire library of core songs and DLCs, even one from the original rocksmith that you can no longer access (even before rocksmith 2014 shut down) Highly recommend rocksmith 2014 over plus, you get more for free and could potentially find a song to practice from that one really obscure band you like (Or if you're mad, you can make custom tracks for their entire discography)

One of the things I wish was standard in guitar tab is a faint color separation between the treble and bass strings.

The input detection on Rocksmith could be hit or miss. Which is another reason to not skip the tuning: you just want to be sure *it* thinks that's the exact correct pitch...

Rocksmith 2014 remastered is way better. If you use rocksmith you need to use the real tone cable for the computer as well. It's like guitar cable but it plugs directly into the computer. It reads the notes better. You are missing the notes because the app is garbage.

If they add Hendrix, I’m sold.

i never tried this game but looking at the gameplay no wonder why the failed it's seems like the developers never really played instruments this could have been a great success if the gameplay were horizontal just as reading tabs

Those bursts of rage are son on time! 😂

Woah, just found your page on Skool and realize we live in the same city, cool!

About time you tried!

I think you might have a bit too much latency from your bluetooth (I presume) headset to play this game properly. Maybe try wired earbuds cause it seems like you're hearing the music delayed causing your inputs to be delayed. (not 100% sure)

How do you get 7500 songs? I was searching through the library and it was extremely limited. Granted I hadn't purchased the game just looking through the library of locked songs to see if it was worth the money in the first place, but it seems like I should have been able to see the full library behind the paywall.. Edit: ps5 version

Are the there any latency issues with rocksmith?

Hair products reveal at 600K subs!

Potty Mouth Canadian gets a gold star...because everyone is a star! Yay! Much rejoicing throughout the land! I would be discouraged from playing guitar if it told me how much I SUCK every time I used it. Perfection is sometimes the enemy of the good.

Made me feel better playing this game 😁

Get it on the PC and get a rocksmith cable

Bro I put myself on the wait list twice an u never sent me anything for next step you told me a spot opened the 2nd time I emailed back u never responded bro smh

Loved the vid Brandon 😂

Can you make a video of re stringing a guitar for a noob on cigs??????

I started with Rocksmith 2014, put about 600 hours on it before going tab and amp. My problem was that i wasn't memorizing the songs, I was just getting used to looking at the screen like i'm reading sheet music. But Brandon, ngl, I would not recommend rocksmith+ to anyone. They just hicked their subscription price, and they don't even have that many metal bands on there. not worth. I'd sooner play Rocksmith 2014 and download custom songs than this garbage. Ubisoft really pisses me off, but i'm not even angry.

Buddy at this rate we’re lick if we get 5 vids a year from this guy

i got you guys with rocksmith 2014 + all the dlc if you guys want it. reply and ill send a link

Very well done 👍

He has been pretty quiet on the channel lately, is everything ok with him?

When bruh has his guitar face on at the beginning he looks like blonde Patrick Bateman

Maybe you should have used the tuner... Ya never know sir.

This bro has to be born in 1999

The issue you're likely experiencing is that you may have fallen out of rhythm with the app. It's annoyingly easy.

EPIC

3:21 That's ok. As we all know, Sting is impossible to understand.

He called Wake Me Up When September Ends a "classic" oh fuck oh jeez I'm so old

Marty clearly set a trend with this one. I played Rocksmith as a noob guitarist. It really doesn't teach you it gets you to learn how to repeat things

Turning music into a video game. Bollocks.

Rocksmith tuning is often a bit off. That is likely why you're missing so many notes.

bro I'm watching this video going with 5150 views, that's sweet

Rocksmith 2014 remastered (PC version) is a way better value. their tone cable cost as much as the game. A 3rd party cable was $13 vs $36. plus those cdlc songs have better arrangements and more variety of songs. I haven't even played it in a long time to be honest. would be more fun if there was a multiplayer versus or something. or some kind of collab thing you could do with it.

Seems like trying to learn guitar by drinking from a firehose.

I appreciate ur review. Have a sub

had to dig up an old Xbox 360 just so I could load up the old rocksmith... they made a crappy product with a subscription and then shut down access to the old games...

youur a pro grifter great job

Pro guitar teacher would have taken this seriously. This video didn't help me on if this is better then the other 2 Rocksmith titles.

Oh this is interesting

Can you do Rocksmith+ on a laptop or pc?

When is the pro guitar teacher showing up?😂😂

Can you even trust a company who doesn't offer their products for every type of Mac that has ever been built and every type of OS from the beginning of time until forever ends? No, you can't.

Rocksmith 2014 is goated. Way better than this and was around when brandon was a beginner cos there was one before even that!

Told you it was time to take on sponsors!

looking like I will be on the 365 day plan lol

Pirate Rocksmith 2014 Remastered Download CDLC Don't pay for this poor excuse of a "game"

click bait... the video says "pro"

They don’t have any of the guitar solos I wanna learn… Gotta stick to RU-vid

this is not how you play cowboys from hell 💀

Don’t hurt yourself patting yourself on the back too hard. You’re not a pro guitar teacher dude😂

rocksmith 2014 is way better but they took it off steam

Uhm guys chy to freddy fazbear?

The doo spanx u

People playing Rocksmith sounds awful, not you, everyone. I'd like to hear your genuine opinion about it as a learning utility when you're spaced further from the advertisement, 'cause I'm pretty sure it doesn't teach music, and I'm certain that if you need a game to motivate you to play music, you just aren't going to be playing music.

What a horrible app. Those animations drive me nuts

The app's cool but I'd rather stick with yousician...

They ruined RS with RS+. RS14 is a million times better considering you can download custom songs. RS+ has a lot of songs, but because permits are so expensive now it's mostly shit songs no one has heard about or live covers of popular songs. It's fucking ass

Do yourselves a favor don't get rocksmith+, get rocksmith 2014 instead.

Wow Rocksmith+ looks like a steaming pile compared to Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014. You'd way way better off not using Rocksmith + especially considering there's a monthly subscription maybe your money would be better spent on guitar lessons.

I love most of your content but this shill of a review is below what I have come to expect from you. It is a scrub and overpriced app and you know it Brandon. Next time please say no to the sponsorship and tell us what you really think of this stripped down and awful version of Rocksmith 2014 Remastered. Btw they also just upped the cost 5$ USD + per month and have completely delisted RS 2014 , boo Ubisoft .

they dont have my weeb music

Oh wow another generic guitar teacher with an asinine personality and no originality. Sums up the old adage "Those who can't do, teach" perfectly.

Brooooo you should've done waaayyy better!! You on the cigarettes?!?!?!😂😂😂😂🚫🚬

"Pro guitar teacher" i know embellishing titles is the sellout strat for RU-vid videos, but you gotta have some self respect.

Is it shit its shite that u wanna stay the hell out of it. But rocksmith 2014 is THE SHITE. I give rocksmith+ 1 star in the shop if i could give it 0 i wood, then I try to go to 2014 and rise it to 5 but the MF remove it from the shop. Now it all respact just pech the 2014. Much better
