Let me start by saying I've been messing with guitar for about 20 years. Now, as much as Rock Smith can help get people started, it's current interface seems to impede progress as experience increases. Note Highway, geeze that thing can be a pain in the butt. Like a bunch of us, when the going gets tough the tough have to go to Guitar Pro to figure out the score. Too many notes jammed to fast with the note spacing of the Note Highway jammed together and only being able to see a fraction of what is coming up. Let's get this straight, the Note Highway is not 'sight reading.' Sight reading involves running through the entire score before you play it for the first time. At least please allow Rocksmith to do tabs which leads to the next part. Rhythm, I don't have to go into what's wrong with that as this is the biggest fail and really a shame. Any type of complex chord rhythm and Rocksmith just can't. Well, can't and even simple rhythms can be a pain to figure out. Back out to Guitar Pro to figure it out. We need tabs or at least stroke direction arrows. Some of us have more than one guitar and bass, Rocksmith does not think so. The biggest problem is the fricking gain adjustment. Give us a hot key manual gain adjustment from the note highway screen that includes a Gain Meter! I know it was simplified for beginners but I think we can handle it. ASIO support please please please. I don't have a problem using Rocksmith cables but by the gods, why is Rocksmith looking for one unique identifier number before it will use the usb cable. Rocksmith has so much potential to be a serious learning program combined with fun. It could be updated to something great without losing the beginner aspect for which it was created. P.S. what would happen if real AI programming where used to judge progress instead of hard coded switches? What would happen if Rocksmith was under regular updates based on user feedback?
