I bought the original and the disc import tool, do I have to download the original and do something in that to access the songs in 2014?

I just started playing this a few days ago and I am loving it. The progression seems right and I find it hilarious how it ups the difficulty by 1 extra note randomly and my hands just poo poo the bed. The one thing I have a question is the song based missions. There's usually a box that says "Play Chords 101" or something along those lines but I have no idea what it's referring to. Also when it says "Play a recommended song" as a mission does that just mean sort by "Recommended" and pick one from the top? Finally, for their 60 day challenge what's the average play time per day that they recommend? I'm averaging about 1 hour right now as I develop my finger calluses.

Chords 101 is in the lessons tab. Recommended song, yeah that should work# but on xbox one I don't have a "recommended" song to chose from...so I'm stuck. One hour a day is the goal on sixty day challenge.

It doesn't always match up exactly with what is in the song right away. If you keep playing Star Chords eventually you will be doing more difficult chords, and its a good finger exercise no matter what chords you will be playing.

Star Chords always starts you out with E5s and A5s because they're about the easiest chord in the entire chord book. It doesn't really tailor itself to a particular song.

You mean backing tracks? There are tons, YouTube has a bunch that people have uploaded too. And you can get tools where you set up a progression and it produces a loop for you to play over, if you want infinite practice. What are you looking for in particular?

unlawfulsoup posted:Tone cable is by far the best solution, there are ways around it but they are kind of lousy. Coming back to this from last page: I've scoured pretty much every shop in my city and nobody has new boxed copies of Rocksmith (either the old version or 2014), period. There was one shop that did have a copy of the old game for PC, but without the cable. So cannibalizing the cable from an older, cheaper version of the game isn't going to be possible. Checking my local Big Box Electronic Store's website, most people who purchased the game from them (without cable already included) bought this generic 6.3mm-to-USB cable specifically for plugging a guitar into a PC, and it looks nearly identical to the Real Tone cable. My question is: is there literally something completely exceptional about the Real Tone cable that makes it required use (hardware DRM?), or is buying this seemingly identical cable going to work just fine? Most of the stuff I'm reading online about people trying to get around using the Real Tone cable are ones where people want to plug their existing 6.3mm cables into the sound cards directly, or use a 6.3mm-to-3.5mm adapter to plug it into their PC's line in. That's not what I want to know. Most people are also bitching about the price of the Real Tone cable itself as incentive for finding something else -- that's not my motivation at all, my motivation is not wanting to wait a month or more on the off-chance that Amazon finally gets the cable in stock in Europe.

I just bought a guitar and rocksmith 2014 and original for song import. I'm going to embark on the 60 day challenge today. Have never played a guitar before but its always something Ive wanted to learn. Here's hoping that my Guitar Hero skills transfer over(im assuming they dont one bit!)

Drone posted:Guitar Hero will at least help to give you a feel for rhythm if you have absolutely no background in music whatsoever. that's reassuring. I have never played an instrument in my life. My dad however is an expert at Guitar and actually published a few songs(mostly played on 80s sitcoms!). I am hoping that is one of the traits he passed on to me. I got his obesity and body hair, so why not the music skills?

loving hell, is there like a bootcamp for one's pinky finger? Not so much on bass, but with rhythm guitar it's like a useless vestigial piece of hand that trips up otherwise doable chord changes lol. e: I know it's called 'practice'; just felt like bitching about a digit.

^^^ SHUT UP!!!Faux-rear end Nonsense posted:loving hell, is there like a bootcamp for one's pinky finger? Not so much on bass, but with rhythm guitar it's like a useless vestigial piece of hand that trips up otherwise doable chord changes lol. The answer really is pinky bootcamp though - try this:
I guarantee you if you do that, then try playing your song again, your finger will be turbocharged and ready for action. It's a warmup really, which always helps, but it's good to focus on the things you're having trouble with too, and exercise those skills. Really you'd want something that involves all your fingers, but it's fine to spend a little time giving the pinky some personal training if it needs it If you want to make it harder, move to a lower fret (more stretching), or try hammering on and pulling off for the entire time (as in, you pick one (1) note and the rest is constant slurring, in time thanks). You'll probably have to repick the note after a while, because your fingah is too weak und puny to handle dis easy task

After my first day I logged about 2 hours into Rocksmith 2014 today. First time playing a guitar ever. My left wrist is pretty sore from curling my fingers up and around to hit the frets. I'm guessing Ill just have to get used to it, or find a better way to position my left hand. Ive been doing the lessons today and when I got frustrated on one finally I tried a few songs. A good day one, but drat my wrist hurts....

Thanks, that helps. I am playing on PC so I'm on a desk chair in a confined space which may not be the best situation. Ill try to work on that later before jumping back in. I was really making my way through the lessons until I hit slides 101. Its the first lesson where they just add a second string in without mentioning it beforehand. I spent 25 minutes on the same riff and could not do it. I got it twice on slow speed but couldnt make it happen on normal. Thats when I told myself to shut it down for the night. Hopefully tonight I can hit that.

If you have a strap for your guitar, you could always stand and play too. And if you don't have a strap, they cost like ten bucks.

The thing that helped me was actually playing it with the game paused, getting it down that way then going back into the game to nail it.

Mercedes posted:Yes this thank you! I wasn't looking for anything in particular. Do you have some favorite backing tracks I should check out? Not really! Jazz always seems to be on my to-do list, beyond noodling around and trying bossa nova or walking bass here and there. It might be worth asking around in the Musicians' Lounge, especially the guitar and bass threads (and maybe other instrument megathreads!) for people's favourite practice resources. I know in the guitar and especially bass threads there are a bunch of jazz players, some professional or involved with teaching, so you might get some good recommends This is neat for putting together drums from various loops: http://www.drumbot.com/projects/drumbot/ There's a bunch of backing tracks for some jazz standards here: http://www.ralphpatt.com/Backing.html This looks possibly awesome - you can select/exclude instruments in your search, so you don't have to compete with a guitar: http://www.wikiloops.com/tracks/Jazz.php Things like this are more explicitly about 'here's the progression we'll be repeating' so it might be more useful for improv practice and getting used to common progressions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e82UetMJMk Although I know this is what you really wanted all along!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRHnBus9zP8 Bubba77 posted:After my first day I logged about 2 hours into Rocksmith 2014 today.
