This is going to sound incredibly dorky, but I'd love some arrangements of old 8-bit game music. Awesome bass lines for days.

Is there a quick way to unlock all the bonus songs (in 2014)?

If it's anything like the first one there should be a shortcut DLC package on the store.

I am thinking of picking up Rocksmith, but my interest in guitar music is almost exclusively in playing folk/Americana on an acoustic.

Obviously skills from any genre will transfer, but do you think there is enough in Rocksmith for me that it will be worth my time?

I'd recommend looking through the tracklist on wikipedia because I kinda want to say not really.

I've been playing a lot recently and I've gotten a lot better but I'm having real trouble with some of my technique and the lessons aren't helping. When I throw out the horns with my strumming hand it's really hard to keep my pick under control - either I drop the pick or I end up looking like I'm drinking from a little imaginary teacup with my pinky sticking out (not exactly the look I'm going for). How do more accomplished guitarists manage this?

I actually found that playing score attack on medium unlocked a bonus after every song, might even work if you play a song you did on medium again on hard, or master, I'm not sure.

Let's be honest, if you want to achieve some pro level gesturing you need to switch to bass

Well it's got a six string bass and a keytar, they're totally playing jazz which means the crowd is a bunch of "respectful" music snobs that don't believe in displaying emotion.

Probably nothing to drink in the joint but white wine.

I think it is garbage, and it should be no surprise anyone watching that show is just about braindead.

Probably more of closer to being in a drunk/stoned haze and being stuck in an elevator.

It wasn't entirely unpleasant but jazz (especially modern jazz or whatever the hell that is) is frankly beyond me so i never felt like i had any clue what was going on.

Is the Return to Castle Chordead minigame completely broken for anyone else? It basically recognizes my F5 about 1/8 of the time. E5 and A5 have no problems. It's too bad because the higher levels of this game look like they'd be fun and useful. And I'm an intermediate guitarist so yes, I'm playing it right and not bending the strings by fretting too hard etc.
