I’ve been in the majestic midst of Rocksmith since we announced the title at SXSW in Spring.
It has been an amazing experience to work so closely with a game I believe so strongly in and am so genuinely excited to play.
Finally, my hopes and dreams of learning to play guitar have come true.
I picked up a starter electric so I just have to grab the game and I’m ready to rock because Rocksmith is the first game you play with any real guitar with a jack!
With addicting gameplay that adapts to your personal skill level, you’ll automatically progress from single notes to complex chords at your own pace.
You’ll be playing 100% of the real guitar parts from the songs in the game.


If you’re a guitar beginner, you can still pick it up.
The game starts each song showing a portion of the notes/chords from the song and continually levels up and down to adapt to your skill level.
Unlike other music games with only 4 difficulty modes, our game adapts to your personal skill level in real time, making it possible for you to play and have fun.
So if you’re new to guitar, the game will treat you as such and constantly challenge you to improve without overwhelming you with notes or booing at and failing you.


Now on the other hand, if you’re an experienced guitar player, the game will recognize this and feed you the amount of notes that you’re able to play.
If that’s 100% of what the actual guitar is playing in the recorded song, then that’s terrific for you. You’ve just learned a new song while playing a video game.
Plus, what other video game out there allows you to plug in your own guitar? None! This is a one-of-a-kind experience that you are guaranteed to enjoy.
You can find many videos on Rocksmith’s YouTube channel demonstrating hands-on-gameplay over different levels guitar playing ability.





The game has an incredible library of songs from different music genres allowing players to experience that moment of learning a new song in a fun way first hand.
You can now learn to play new songs without laboring through tablature or cringing through poorly produced tutorials.
Rocksmith present you with new songs as well as challenge you to step away from the notes on screen and play from memory.


Rocksmith features both rhythm and lead guitar gameplay. You will be able to choose rhythm or lead before you begin playing a song.
Basically, whatever guitar parts are featured in the actual recorded song will be available for you to play in the game!


The game sports a split screen multiplayer mode where you and a friend will be able to rock side by side.


A wide variety of fun mini-games will challenge you to hone in on specific skills.
Whether its scales, picking, or finger dexterity you want to improve on, the mini-games will have you covered, and addicted.


In addition to a variety of amps and cabs, there are plenty of real effects pedals built into the game.
You’ll get to tweak your sounds, and string them together with nearly infinite combinations until you’re satisfied.
Whether it’s a crunchy distortion, a vintage tremolo, or a psychedelic reverb, we have the gamut covered to make sure you can achieve the sound you’re looking for.
