They say for most people that doing is learning — being told how to do something, or even shown, isn't nearly as effective as jumping right in and giving it a try for yourself. Learning to play the guitar certainly applies to this principle, and hands-on, on-the-go sessions are the most effective way to elevate your skills. Whether you're a novice picking up the guitar for the very first time or an old hand fine-tuning your technique, Rocksmith gets you results fast, by putting the guitar in your hands, plugging into your console and getting the party started. Rocksmith 2014 Edition takes the same proven methods of the original edition and enhances them for a fruitful learning experience that will soon have you riffing with the best of 'em.

Newly designed for an enriched, re-imagined experience, Rocksmith 2014 Edition features new menus and in-game interfaces for clear, smooth and blazing-fast learning. Receive feedback and play along with more than 50 hit tracks, from alternative rock to heavy metal to classic rock and more. If you own the original Rocksmith, the 2014 Edition is backward compatible with those songs as well for a rich library of tracks you know and love. Designed for ease and speed, the features are more accessible and flexible than ever, allowing you to select your section, difficulty and speed on-the-fly in the fully customizable Riff Repeater mode. Experience a revamped Master mode that is more approachable to learn songs by memory. When you want to ease the pressure a bit, jump over to the Guitarcade for more than 10 mini games that will help you have fun while honing your skills. Session mode lets you experience the feeling of jamming with a band — choose the combination of instruments you want backing you up and following your lead. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced axe man, there's always something to learn, and Rocksmith 2014 Edition makes it an enjoyable, worthwhile experience.

A fun way to either learn to play or to practice.

excellent learning tool
This is a great learning tool. I've had a guitar for numerous years and learned some chords from books and a little from the internet but never had the money to pay for serious lessons. For the price of this game and a guitar you are well on your way to learning. It will work with any electric guitar but ones without a tremolo are best since you will be retuning on different songs. It is well set up and you can choose to do lessons one day , work on a song the next day and play arcade mode the next. It really keeps it from getting boring as you can vary what you do. This is learning a real guitar so don't think you will be shredding overnight because it can be frustrating when you have to sit there for 30 minutes trying to get a lesson or phrase correct. However it is very rewarding when you do. If you are just starting be forewarned it will take a couple of weeks before your fingertips develop callouses so they will be tender. This is where arcade works great because when your fingers get tired or sore you can rest them and work on the games which involve your strumming hand. I've only had this for several weeks but I'm surprised at the tips and techniques I've learned already. The only negative comment I have is sometimes I know I'm on the correct note and string but it does not register correctly. So make sure you are in tune and not pressing down too hard on the strings since this can change the pitch. I put in about an hour or more a day so it takes dedication if you want to get good. The game also gives you goals to shoot for. I highly recommend it.

Best Guitar Teaching program ever
I bought the original Rocksmith a couple years ago and thought it was pretty good. The big issue with the original was the massive amounts of lag between you plucking your strings and the sound coming from the tv. I didn't get into it too much. Rochsmith 2014 on the other hand has improved it so much that it's barely noticable. I still recommend using headphones when playing the game because it helps improve the lag that much more. There is so much in this game. I personally began my journey to learn the song "Carry on wayward my son" by Kansas. The ability to slow down the song and only play small parts now is especially helpful to get those harder parts learned. It's got a bunch of great songs and the tutorials are extremely helpful as well. I'm an intermeditate guitar player and have found everything in that game to be extremely useful. Plus I was learning how to really get the tapping down. I loved the song they have you play to try and learn that better. I recommend this game to anyone willing to actually learn the guitar or even those who are already really good. They can still learn some of the best guitar songs out there. There's no limitations anymore unlike with the first game.
