I heard about Rocksmith but never tried it. In the real world i can play guit, bass and piano. Started off on bass in junior high then guitar and piano later. I did a lot of recording when i was in the military (nothing else better to do) and thats about it. My collection of instruments slowly dwindled down to a Japanese knockoff dreadnaught acoustic. Back on topic here, i honestly hate the rockband/guitar hero games and im not good at them at all. Which you would think i should have good cordination with 5 stupid color buttons and a strum button. Nope. I hated knowing how to play the song in game and trying to one button a chord pull off. Yeah i know, its a game. Just not my cup. Id like to take that Rocksmith for a spin. You can pick up a cheap electric strat style 6 string at any local pawn shop for under a hundred. Be neat to actually learn while playing.
