FAQ:

CAN I USE MY GUITAR WITH ROCKSMITH?
Most likely, the answer is yes. If your guitar has a standard ¼ inch jack for you to plug in a cable, then yes, your guitar will work. If your guitar does not have a jack (for example, many acoustic guitars), you can go down to your local music store and buy a pickup, and your guitar will be ready to plug in and play.

WILL I NEED AN AMPLIFIER TO PLAY THE GAME?
Nope. All you need is a TV, a guitar, and our game. With Rocksmith, your TV or home theatre system becomes your amplifier. You plug your guitar directly into the console, and play. It's that easy.

I'VE NEVER PLAYED GUITAR, AND IT SEEMS DIFFICULT AND INTIMIDATING. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH NO PRIOR GUITAR KNOWLEDGE?
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. If you're a beginning guitar player, the game will treat you as such, and constantly challenge you to improve without overwhelming you.

I'M AN EXPERIENCED GUITAR PLAYER, AND AM NOT INTERESTED IN A GAME FOR BEGINNERS. WHY SHOULD I OWN THIS GAME?
If you're an experienced guitar player, it 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 good 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.

WILL ROCKSMITH HAVE RHYTHM OR LEAD GUITAR IN THE GAMEPLAY?
Both. 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, we will have available for you to play.

ARE THERE EFFECTS PEDALS IN THE GAME?
There are loads of effects pedals built into the game, and they are all the real deal. 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.

WILL THERE BE MULTIPLAYER?
Absolutely. But we can't reveal everything just yet. More on this to come.

WHAT SONGS WILL YOU HAVE IN THE GAME?
The intention of our song list is to capture a wide range of music, while concentrating on fun, guitar centric tracks. We can't reveal our full song list quite yet, but rest assured that it spans from old to new, classic to contemporary, fast to slow, easy to insanely difficult… you get the point.

WILL THERE BE CHORD CHARTS?
Yes! And they are interactive.

WHAT IS THIS I'M HEARING ABOUT MINI-GAMES?
There will be a wide variety of mini-games that will challenge you to hone in on specific skills. Whether its scales, or finger dexterity you want to improve on, our mini-games will have you covered, and addicted.

This has been posted a couple times....but....I can't wait until it comes out. I think it's going to be great playing a game and practicing playing my Les Paul at the same time. I always liked Guitar Hero and Rockband, but the controllers were obviously never a good substitute for a real guitar. They're supposed to have songs that were not on the other games which worries me because those songs were always great.

 

[B0nfire]

depending on the price i would try it

 

[guitarbob123]

I would try it as I don't have to pay over 70 quid for a plastic guitar. I can just use a real one.

 

[Lampens]

Sounds interesting. Maybe usefull as apractice tool.
Multiplayer? Hmm, there might be some serious issues with even the slightest of lag.

 

[Hamtone]

Im looking forward to it.

 

[Eigen]

Yeah I believe it will be quite useful as a practice tool, particularly in regards to timing. If they pull it off correctly...

 

[H.E.L.Shane]

i might have to blow the dust off the 360

if you watch the thing on their websit... the chords are upsite down as they come down the screen... must have been a lefty playin!!!!

 

[Hamtone]

They dropped some of the song list yesterday, looks ok so far. Im very much looking forward to this game

 

[Drew224]

This could be good enough to get me shell out the bones for a used 360 and a new TV.
I could have a TV in my room but I chose not to because it's a crappy little analog round screened guy that takes up more space than it's worth...

 

[Shagnwagon]

Looks kinda cool! The use any guitar feature is cool. I may try it if the price is right.

They also have it for PC.

 

[LeftyF2003]

I think if it is as good as they are making it look it will address all the issues folks had with Guitar Hero. I still love Guitar Hero for making the South Park Guitar Queer-o episode possible.

My PC is a piece of crap.

 

[Shagnwagon]

And going back to the video, amber knobs on a gold top ewwwwww, what a noob!

 

[Robinv]

Wonder how that thing is gonna detect some of the subtler diffrences like diffrent mutes...

This should help with learning boring covers though If I can get a highscore online I'll be more motivated to do covers

 

[Hamtone]

The more I read about it the more excited I am, maybe because I have to travel so far to get time in playing with other people and backing tracks lost their luster a long time ago

 

[orbm1]

Looks like a great way to practice while having some "challenged" fun...

Hopefully works well with all guitars....

One thing I have to add is that IT IS AMAZING how advance is the new technology, not in my wildest dreams I thought I was going to see this.

 

[Howard2k]

I am pretty excited about this actually. Looks like it could be a lot of fun and a great tool.

I do not expect to buy it the day it comes out, but I will be keenly watching.
