I cant tell you how many guitarists Ive met that can shred up and down the neck way better than me, but simply cant hold a groove to save their life. I personally think if you are serious about learning guitar, then timing is pretty much the single most important factor. Others will have their own, there is no one way to approach an instrument. Ill preface this by saying its my own personal opinion. I really am surprised that such a buggy game got past QC at sony and MS. So really, I hope the devs step up the game and start bug-fixing or I am bailing out on the game as soon as there's a better alternative. The RealTone cable on the other hand seems to be of a shoddy build and costs more than equivalent stuff would. They can use whatever they like, but the DualShock ones tend to by of a good quality so a lot of people don't bother. No-one is required to buy PlayStation DualShock controllers for the ps3. The cable is proprietary hardware and no different than controllers. I hope they step up their game before someone makes a rip-off that's better. The game is buggy as fuck and still has a lot of poor design decisions(mirrored strings as default instead of tab? It's nearly like they're trying to make it hard for beginners so they never decide to try to learn from tabs.) That being said, it's a great idea with a mediocre implementation.
I bought the game with the cable and all. Rocksmith Note Guide (aka what is this symbol?) See how you Rank Worldwide with Rocksmith Buddy! Rocksmith Remastered comes with over 50 songs, Guitarcade modes to gamify your learning experience, online leaderboards, a streamlined interface, and much more.
