I purchased this “game” as well.  Its “ok” fun, but not as good as I’d hoped.  It should be noted that I’m an amateur, only playing for about 2 yrs now, but with some music in my background.

Areas I had difficulty with:

·         Time lag – haven’t gotten this fixed yet, and its annoying.

·         It ratchets up difficulty at a weird rate sometimes, and doesn’t show you how to move your hand at all to compensate.  So, you’re playing along in an “anchored” position and all of a sudden it throws 2-3 notes in a new position at you, with no discussion on hand movement, finger positioning, or anything like that.  What ends up happening is either I skip them, or I try to play them in a different position (7^th fret on one string can be 2^nd fret on another), but it didn’t like that either.

·         It promotes sloppy play – when it shows that you need to play a note, you can play a bunch around it and its “OK”.  For instance, lets suppose you’re to play 3^rd fret on A string.  If you “barre” your finger across all 3^rd frets and play low E, and the A, it’ll give you full points, even though you hit the wrong string in the process.

·         It doesn’t show you likely spots to put your fingers, so doesn’t promote learning the neck and when/how to move around, all it wants you to do is hit the right fret at the right time, regardless of technique.

·         It doesn’t show you repetitive patterns in a good way; i.e. when I memorize a song it’s usually around verses and choruses.  They don’t represent that well.  They want you to memorize, note for note, the song.  Hard to do with most music.

Things I liked:

·         Representation of the guitar and the “sound” of the guitar.  Not sure yet if I like the color-coded strings, but I could probably get used to it w/time.

·         Variety of music is not bad – not my picks, but how much Metallica could they put on it anyways?  J

·         I plug MY guitar into MY Xbox.  How cool is that!

·         Some songs in dropped tunings!  That was a surprise.

Overall, I’ll play it some more, but it didn’t quite hit my expectations out of the box.

Hi Guys !

I've just downloaded the Rocksmith Demo on steam.

I've a Line6 GX, and i can't make it work.

Is there a way to use my GX to play the game ? or you must have their dedicated cable ?

Thanks !
