Introducing the next stage in the evolution of the guitar game. Rocksmith is the first and only game where you can plug ANY real guitar into your console and actually LEARN while you PLAY.
Nothing plastic. Nothing fake. Just the most authentic guitar experience in music gaming. By plugging your electric guitar into your console, you’ll develop real skills and real styles while playing real music.
Featuring gameplay that automatically adjusts to your personal ability, and innovative game design that makes playing music visually intuitive, Rocksmith will engage experienced musicians as well as those who have never picked up a guitar before in their life.
You’ll unlock mini games to hone specific skills. You’ll be able to choose from a large catalogue of songs in different styles. And you’ll experience it all with an actual guitar. Nothing compares to playing a real guitar. Except playing Rocksmith.
The game will include the brand new Bass mode, offering players the opportunity to play bass guitar on all supported on-disc and downloadable songs.
Not only can players play the bass parts of songs, but bassists of all experience levels can also improve their skills with dedicated bass technique challenges and tutorial videos. Players can even use any 6-string guitar to emulate a 4-string bass. Tracking their learning has never been easier as bass progression is tracked separately from guitar progression. Last but not least, all songs can be played in multiplayer with one person playing the bass part and the other the guitar part.

When we say any guitar we mean any guitar
Whether it’s the guitar sitting in your attic that you have forgotten about up till now, or the guitar you are yet to buy, Rocksmith lets you plug any guitar into your console or computer. Electric guitar or electro-acoustic, as long as your guitar has a jack, you can play. And get plugged in right away as Rocksmith comes with a unique quarter-inch jack to USB cable!
Get Plugged In
Rocksmith will include a unique quarter-inch to USB cable that is the first of its kind, and will allow users to plug any real guitar with a quarter-inch jack directly into their Xbox 360®, PlayStation 3®, or PC. Developed exclusively for Rocksmith, this guitar cable is 11.25' and turns the guitar’s signal from analog to digital, allowing it to be recognised and played through video game consoles for the first time.
Real time adjustment levels: from beginner to rock god!
You love a challenge, but hate being overwhelmed. Rocksmith understands this, and knows exactly how far to push to keep you entertained. With addictive gameplay that adapts continuously to your personal skill level, you will automatically progress from single notes to complex chords at your own pace. Eventually you’ll be playing 100% of the actual guitar parts from the songs and the game will challenge you to step away from the notes on screen and play songs from memory. Imagine that. A video game that will get you stage-ready.
Bursting with Hits
One of the most satisfying moments for any guitar player is hearing yourself play your favourite song for the first time. Rocksmith has amassed an amazing library of songs from different music genres allowing players to experience those moments first hand. Whether you like classic rock bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Cure, Lynrd Skynrd or if you’re more into current chart-toppers such as The Strokes, Muse, Radiohead and The XX, we have you covered. And with our growing tracklist from metal to indie rock available for download, you will always find a song that suits your mood.
There’s always a way to develop your guitar skills and overcome your difficulties
Having troubles with the solo of your favourite song? The riff-repeater option is your saviour. It will isolate the song part of your choice, and let you repeat it over and over … until you eventually ace it!
Want to improve your finger dexterity? Learn chords? Improve scales? For all of these and more, there’s a specific mini-game that will help you get it in Guitarcade. Rocksmith will turn your guitar into a controller, for instance, while shooting ducks in the Ducks mini-game you’ll actually be learning how to shift from fret to fret without even realising!
Turn your TV or computer into an amplifier
No need for an amplifier anymore, with Rocksmith your TV or your computer IS your amplifier and will let you try and play with loads of in-game pedals, amplifiers and cabinets. String pedals together with nearly infinite combinations and tweak your sound until you’re satisfied. Whether it’s a crunchy distortion, a vintage tremolo or a psychedelic reverb, we have it covered to make sure you can achieve the sound you’re looking for.
Play in multiplayer
Plug in a second guitar to go head-to-head with friends to see who can earn the highest score, or have fun playing cooperatively as lead and rhythm guitars. Also, all songs can be played in multiplayer with one person playing the bass part and the other the guitar part.
Brand new Bass mode
The game will include the brand new Bass mode, offering players the opportunity to play bass guitar on all supported on-disc and downloadable songs. Not only can players play the bass parts of songs, but bassists of all experience levels can also improve their skills with dedicated bass technique challenges and tutorial videos.

Great game
Had problems first because the copy came with no activation key. Google search revealed this was a common problem so I contacted Ubisoft and Zavvi. I must say both were very helpful, Zavvi offered a full refund and even emailed return labels but luckily Ubisoft emailed the activation codes and all is perfect. This is a great game and really good value for money. It's brilliant to be able to use your guitar through the PC and access all different effects without having to set up your amp, pedals and effects units. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn guitar or just play for fun.

Rocksmith
Rocksmith is the best learning tool for someone that wants to start playing guitar. I would recommend this to everyone that has just started playing guitar. Great fun and learning at the same time.

Better than console versions
This game is great. I bet it would be useful for improving your guitar skills and learning songs if you know how to play the guitar a little bit. Rocksmith PC is better than the console versions as usual. Only if we had more established songs to play (from 80s and 90s mostly) But the biggest problem remains. You always have to go through tuning your guitar even if your guitar does not lose tune like mine. It's really distracting and something they should put an option to turn off. There is another little shortcoming and that is ASIO (or Asio4All & two sound cards at the same time) support for people who want zero latency.

Like guitar hero...for adults!
I'm sure if you are reading this you are aware of the now-classic Guitar Hero series. Well Rocksmith takes that excellent concept and lets you plug in your own guitar! It plays much like GH but since you are starring at the fret board of a real guitar it can get MUCH more complicated. However don't let that put you off, the game starts you off on the most basic of tunes imaginable. You literally begin by plucking one string with your finger on one fret every ~5 seconds. The game adjusts mid-song so although you start very slowly and can progress very slowly, if you hit every note then the game throws in more notes as you play. I've only played a few hours so far but am thoroughly enjoying it! In case you are wondering, this version does include the cable & mine DID include the CD key! In short: Really fun game that actually teaches you to play guitar & if you always wanted to learn but couldn't be bothered then this is for you!

Great game, pc version better than the consoles, terrible menus
Rocksmith itself is great and it actually teaches you to play the guitar. I'm taking guitar lessons and the game is a really nice incentive to pick up the guitar, play the game a bit and the get to my actual training lessons. The PC version is vastly superior to the XBOX and PS3 versions in terms of loading times and input lag. A friend has the PS3 version and even after every optimasation possible there is a very noticeable lag between picking and hearing the sound. The only downside of the game is the terrible menu design - it is awful, one of the worst user interfaces I ever had to cope with in order to play a great game.

Very good item only just started using it today... I've never picked up a guitar before but enjoying the experience with Rocksmith. I would recommend to anybody wishing to learn how to play a guitar.
