  2. what was the last album that you bought, that you can listen to without skipping any tracks? its sometimes difficult to find new music, so I ask to help myself and maybe others find bands and artists that we may not have heard before or just great albums that are worth checking out. Ill get started with Alabama 3 - Exile On Cold harbour Lane Its from 1997, a lot of people may have heard tracks in film soundtracks and the sopranos intro. So what have you been buying?

    A post a while back asked how to break free from Rocksmith and play guitar in the "real world". This motivated me to do a small write up of things you should know about understanding music, the guitar and how to play it. Since I know how it is to struggle at first with the massive amount of information I'm trying to condense it while trying to keep things more visual. I know you can already find everything you ever want to know on the internet but this will be a write-up to guide you into some basic music theory and how it translates it to the guitar (and how to incorporate it into meaningfull excercices), hopefully helping some of you in your quests to become a better gu…

    Does anybody have any reasons why: Guitars are better than women. Guitars are like women. Women are better than guitars. Start you reply with one of the above giving reasons. e.g. Guitars are better than women because you can watch videos of people playing guitar to learn new tricks without being considered a pervert. Guitars are like women because it is considered rude to play somebody else’s guitar without their permission. Women are better than guitars because there’s something slightly weird about being sexually attracted to your guitar If you are a woman replace women with men.

  13. My Grandpa had the bright idea to tell me that I spend too much time with my bass, and that I should do something else with my time. He quickly regreted it lol. You may want to have any pets leave the room before you hit play. I tried putting this on Youtube, but the copyright bs blocked the audio. http://sendvid.com/ha3sx6gz

    Just had to share this, next time any of y'all need new strings, try out the new Cleartones. I just got a set of Cleartone 50's on my bass and it sounds amazing! Even at low tunings there's no rattle or dropped notes :D I've tried several brands in the past, including D'Darrio and Earnie Ball of various sizes, and these blow them all out of the water!

    After playing for 4 years aprox, spending most of em´ in RS, I probably quit playing guitar completely. Is not because I dislike RS in fact was so much fun but because I´m suffering of ear deafening and actually RS have increased this issue somehow, now more than I increased my practicing habits. And I´m into metal and one of those persons who say: "Turn it out loud or don´t turn it at all". I can´t blame RS completely, I used to hear music and videogames loud decades ago. At the same time I never mind in that too much, was a combination of it wouldn´t happened to me and I don´t care. In fact I have a distant relative who I didn´t frequent at all or even know more than …

    Hey everyone, Rocksmith has really propelled me to do something I wanted to do since childhood, pick up and play a guitar. I may never get as good as if I did start young, or go play any gigs but I am still enjoying playing at home and also getting my kids into it. Now since I have not been "in the scene" I am not the best at knowing what is a good deal or not when buying a guitar/bass. My buddy got me to look around on craigslist and I found a bass that really yelled out to me the BC Rich WMD Widow. I wanted a 35" scale 5 string bass and this actually is one of the cheaper I have found and looks pretty sick to boot. I already bought it, and love it. I neg…

    Hope this is an ok place to ask this. I am using bandicam to try to record some play throughs with web cam. I get it to record but there is no sound. i have tried everything i can in windows and bandicam to get it to work and it just does not have sound on playback. i tried the exact same set up with another game and it worked fine. Is there a setting within Rocksmith that needs to be adjusted? I see people posting them a lot so I know it works but i cant figure it out. any tips for someone that is computer challenged would be appreciated.

    A while back I saw someone post a program that generated the pitch from an audio file. Anyone has any idea what it was called or knows the forum post? Been looking for it and just can't find it anymore for some reason. The post was maybe made max 6 months ago or earlier. Any other alternatives are also always welcome.

    Hello. I play rocksmith with the first version. At the time I thought 'why not make a program for acoustic guitar and a microphone to use the ordinary? " Now I have a few ready-made programs. Here's a video demonstration of some of them: 1. Tuner. It allows you to tune your guitar without any settings. 2. Trainer musical hearing. Program voiced a note. You have to play it on the guitar. These programs can be used with Real Tone cable
