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

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

it gets the muscle memory growing though

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

Illli

+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.

+MaynardOwns chill

+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.

+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.

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

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 ;)

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...

Dobromir Vasilev But it won't be exactly the same and btw, they had notes 400 years back...

Archibald Grumbleboots Got a serious proof?

+preachedantonio Bass players good too?

+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.

+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.

+Hilde Håberg True

He does now that you've said it!

I've always thought that

Nah, he looks more like Stampy Cat

Unless you have been playing guitar for 4 years like me XD

@@legacygacha234 It's taught me to hate everything about this .... I see a moving sidewalk and have no idea what I'm looking at?

exactly that comes with practice

@@legacygacha234 well then it isnt designed for you its designed for beginers

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.

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 RU-vid. 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.

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

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.

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

TheBomb100 Amen brother.

MarvinTheMelon That sounds like an amazing girlfriend.

+DamienDarksideBlog i want to learn how play guitar just so i can play house of the rising sun on it, its probably my second favorite song behind guitar sounds by Ronald Jenkees

TrinitXGH0ST how are you at guitar now?

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.

@@dr150 Yeah, rocksmith is really useful.

The internet can be a toxic place :s

Session mode.

MooseyFate Have you played session mode?

Yeah, I play it every other day or so.

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

+Gareth Pursehouse Try yousician. It's a free app. Of course, they have a paid version, but the free version is enough to quickly learn to play guitar. It's pretty awesome! You can install it on android, iphone/pad, and pc

+Sivapriya neat! Looks cool thanks

It is. I'm definitely hooked. It's like playing a game, while learning to work the fretboard and learning great songs along the way. I love it!

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

+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.

elias snegle definitely yes

its alright, but there's alot of DLC's in RS 2014

theofficialeliasvevomaybe yeah if you have humbucking pickups otherwise it doesn’t work as well

Its about an hour away, but aside from that, I don't really get what you're saying.

sup girl

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.

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)

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.

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

like which ones?

riseofthefellowshipmovie.mymiddleearth.com/ That's one

yeah it seems as though he's in like sketches and shorts but I wouldn't cause that to think that this is 100% fake

That is a full length movie by the way.

He may have been an actor but maybe he's actually learning how to play the guitar

Aftar Fadilah even though more and 9 should be switched and it annoyed me, I still liked:)

Aftar Fadilah man of culture right here

Nice

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

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.

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 :)

Lol same

Charlie Luciano they did

yuukiflow dont play wit emotions like that dude! Im gonna look into it

Lol dude I'm playing it now

Charlie Luciano haha they have good songs

He was probably paid, I think he knows how to play the guitar really well but is just doing this for rocksmith.

So he's getting acting gigs outside of this spot. Does that mean he didn't make progress?
