    been playing this for the last few days and i have to say ive hit the exact same problem i hit with the original. i'm not a guitarist, ive never had any lessons and ive never played before they sent me the first game. the claim that rocksmith 2014 edition is "the fastest way to learn guitar" doesn't feel remotely accurate to me. maybe i'm approaching things in the wrong way, but it's no good telling me which strings need to be held down at which fret - show me how im supposed to shape my hand. show me how, really slowly, i move from one chord to the other. show me exactly where the ideal spot for my finger is. explain to me how im supposed to contort my hand in a way that doesn't feel at all natural.

    had the exact same issue in 2011 where it's great for a few hours, then it becomes impossible because there's absolutely no way for you to figure out how to do what they're telling you to

    urgh

    alas, i must persist

    Does anyone know if the price in Gamestop includes the cable?

    Blitzkrieg bop is a good starting song.
    Play the guitarcade games.
    Tuning the first time can be a pain, make sure your guitar volume is up and switch your pickups to find out which ones work best.
    When things get a bit faster you need to be on the ball about muting strings to get the next chord detected.
    There is a big difference in the rhythm and lead sections for some songs, lead seems easier overall but rhythm starts easy but steps up in difficulty quite quickly.
    The riff repeater is great, use it lots, don't forget to turn on auto levelling so that it can speed stuff up for you.
    Apart from that just give it a lash!

    Do I start from the bottom up?

    Must resist, bottom / give it a lash comment!

    Just tune up and get stuck in, fire up something simple like Blitzkrieg Bop or Paint it black then just follow the recommendations made by Rocksmith, then if you notice that takes your fancy like a different song, game or lesson just do it and the recommendations will change based on how you got on.

    Just get stuck in its the best advice

    Just got this for the teenage daughter for christmas, she was delighted until we plugged it in and the cable was not working, I have to send the cable to Ubisoft for a replacement:mad:
    Anyone else have a problem with the cable?

    I bought it last month at full price, it's brilliant, they've done a great job on the interface, fixed pretty much all the flaws from the first version.

    I see the 360 version is reduced too.

    Sorry for bumping an old thread.

    Anyone know if any shops here still sell the game and cable for XB1?

    I've owned Rocksmith 2014 for the 360, One and PC. For me, the slight lag on the Xbox One was a big let down.

    I've found the PC version by far and away the best option, so I'd recommend that if you have a PC handy.

    How is it on 360?

    It's fine on the 360, using the recommended audio out options.

    But on the One, I couldn't dial out the lag. A lot of the reviews of the Xbox One version mentioned the same issue.

    I find myself playing a lot more on the PC version. Maybe it's just me, but I just find it easier to fire up the PC version. Also, there's always sales on DLC tracks on Steam.

    Still have a 360. Might just get it on that. Cheers mate.
