like Milkmandan, when i started playing guitar (with rocksmith 2012) 2 - 2 1/2 years ago, i was severely chord challenged, i still am in a lot of ways, but about a year ago, i ended up buying my bass off an acquaintance of mine here in T.O and the more I play it, the more I love it. when it comes to rocksmith 2014, I have about 400 + songs on my list already, and depending on how well i know the song (I find music ive heard a few times is infinately easier to play then a song ive never heard before and trying to figure the notes out even from rocksmith) my first try can land me in the 95s - 100% on easy songs, more complex ones, usually with large shifts down the board for one reason or another, it usually takes me longer. but most of the others covered the main points. Guitar tends to be simplified into chords more then single notes, until solos. Bass playing is more like playing a long solo through the whole song, for good bassists anyway
