Well, after using Rocksmith+ for a month on the free trial, I won't be continuing with the subscription.

Ultimately, I can't get past the random song listings (seems like there are ton of classics/no brainers that should be included but aren't) and the horrible interface (why do they have to go against standard UI elements in the OS and instead use all their own?).

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Rocksmith 2014 needs only one update: when you score 69% on a song it should say "niiiice."

Misinterpreted that as The Killers' cover of Shadowplay. Seems weird they needed to do a cover of one they previously had the album track for.

I think I got in the habit of doing it because there was a time where they weren't fully charting everything they dropped. If they aren't including a bunch of chord arrangements I'll just call them songs going forward.

"The cosmonauts were transfixed with wonderment as the sun set - over the Earth - there lucklessly, untethered Comrade Todd on fire."



I decided to try Rocksmith+ again for piano, but it still annoys me that chord names aren't shown - I'm still pretty bad at reading sheet music but I also feel like a dummy every time I stop to figure out which chord a red-green-pink note is :(

It's extra frustrating because they have the exact implementation I want for chord arrangements on guitar, where you get the list of chords with finger positions ahead of time, but you can't play those arrangements on keyboard either (which is extra baffling for songs which didn't have guitar parts to begin with)

e: Are there any other piano/keyboard song practice tools which 1. feature songs from this century 2. don't require elaborate workarounds to fix audio latency like Synthesia and 3. don't have Melodics' gently caress-you pricing?

You could try Yousician if you haven't yet. Checked two firsts for me, but I don't know what's your threshold for gently caress you pricing.
