I've been playing Rocksmith for 14 months, guitar and bass. After about 6 or 7 months I felt like I wasn't progressing with guitar, so I took a few lessons to learn the basics. That was a very humbling experience. Sure, I can play the riffs to some rock songs, but I couldn't transition from chord to chord or strum with any enthusiasm. Most of my guitar time is spent with an acoustic. I think you should learn from several different sources (Rocksmith, YouTube, lessons, DVDs), and take what you learn from one source and apply it to the others. Now, I just make up my own songs, and playing seems natural, easy, and much more rewarding than trying to copy somebody else. Just come up with some chords that sound good together, add some style with your strumming and hammer ons, and you have a song that is your own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
