Version 0.0.5 was released 7th of May this year, so I presume the project is still running. https://github.com/Jamedjo/RSTabExplorer/releases tris

Agreed, and yep was half price last year :) I can confirm that RS/RS2014 can both be played via Steam/uPlay in offline mode, including the official and unofficial dlc/cdlc as uPlay was down the other day, surprise surprise ;). As with all Steam sales, always wait till the last day or a daily/flash deal as it may come up cheaper if not already 75% off. I'm waiting for the sale in hope of some of the dlc to be half price. tris

The cheapest it's been recently is £15.99 with a voucher from Gamefly I think it was where I got mine a few weeks back. Other than that a month ago it was £19.99 on GMG and at Amazon.co.uk. I'm betting it'll be knocked down in the steam summer sale, I usually cover them on the avforums pc gaming section so I'll know when it's at it's best price and make a post in here. Hopefully it'll 50% off for those that don't have it, maybe 66% knowing Steam on a daily/flash deal.... Hopefully the same for the official dlc too. tris

Quick update as I got my Harley Benton G212 through :mrgreen: .... to go along with my Epiphone Les Paul Special II http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/nero041001/Guitar/IMG_0755Copy.jpg tris

There are two of them, one has the vinatege 30's in it, the other doesn't :) Without the vintage 30's: http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_g212.htm and the one with them: http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_g212_vintage.htm It's a shame they are not very good at answering emails, and at 25p a minute to call, it's a bit costly to give them a call for me (I talk too much). I'm in the uk, and been trying to find as good bang for buck as the german site that sells them, but no luck so far. I'll be at home mainly, so it'll be sat nice and comfy most of the time :) tris

Cheers mate. I found the problem in the end with using the xlr emulateed out to my av receiver.... I had forgot that I needed to turn the volume nearest the gain up.... and completely forgot to turn the gain up at all :roll: Did I mention how new am am to this type of equipment? ;) At least I have some sound now. I'm making sure I don't double dip when it comes to cabinets. I have seen and heard a few second hand ones at a shop in town, they all have speakers that crackle, which is why I was looking for a way round using what I have, which I have done now which is good :) Thanks for the link, been talking extensively on about all this on the Avforums, that one popped up, but then I saw this one which I have my eye on: http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_g212_vintage.htm I was thinking about buying a couple of vintage 30's and building my own box.... though I don't know how that would turn out, plus the G212 uses the same speakers which I was thinking of, but if I bought them on their own they would have been a couple of quid more expensive than buying a ready built cab with them both in. I'd flip the switch on that cab to 8ohm mono and have both speakers working that way with that cab. There is a Marshall 2x12 cab for around £280 with the Celestion Seventy 80's in there, so I'd be paying an extra £120 for inferior speakers than what is in the G212 and a plastic brand name stuck on the cabinet. I listened to loads of celestions around my budget and the vintage 30's came out on top (to my ear anyway), hence why that is the cab I'm looking to buy :) tris

Not sure she'll be pleased with the results :lol: Ordered one off the amazon now, it'll arrive tomorrow. Much quicker/easier than trying to explain it to the wife :roll: Well, I got two and a 5m 3.5mm-3.5mm cable (will be used for other things too), so hopefully that will work from headphones and/or pre amp out. Just had a look at the switches, here's a pic for ref so everyone sees what they are: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/nero041001/Guitar/IMG_0738Copy.jpg So, to clear this up: 1. left switch = do not turn on without speaker cabinet selected (Keep it off)? 2. right switch = turn this switch on to use headphones, emulated line out etc....? If that's right, then I've been turning the amp on (the left switch), which I shouldn't be doing if the above is correct and leaving the right switch off.... I'll add that when I do turn the left switch on, the glass bulby things in the back begin to light up. 3. I presume thats not meant to be happening if I just want the use of the xlr/headphones etc....? 4. Or are we meant to switch both switches to the on position? I had a red power led lit up on the front as I turned the left switch on and kept the right switch at the off position. It is strange, after looking at it properly, the right switch looks as if it's labelled to say that turning it on turns the standby mode on. The manual doesn't help much, there's not much detail in there. Don't mind me, I get confused a lot.... still getting used to this sort of equipment, it's a little different to my usual home cinema enthusiast background. tris

Ahh, thought it might work from the xlr emulated output too to the av receiver :oops: Just been in touch with the wife and she's got no clue what she's looking for, so it looks like I'll have to order a 3.5mm-6.3mm jack from the net, at least I'll be able to use headphones then. Do you think going from the headphone jack to the 3.5mm jack on my av receiver would be ok and work? If so I can pick up a these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Male-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LT26/ref=sr_1_3?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1401373427&sr=8-3&keywords=6.3mm+to+3.5mm+cable and 2x http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adaptor-stereo-socket-blister-packed/dp/B0016HHYQO/ref=sr_1_16?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1401373479&sr=8-16&keywords=3.5mm+to+6.5mm That way I'd have two adapters for use with the cable from the headphone socket to the 3.5mm aux in on my av receiver and also be able to use one when using headphones of course :) Cheers tris

Got it through yesterday :) I've tried an emulated line out from xlr - 6.3mm - 3.5mm adapter to my av receivers 3.5mm aux in jack and also normal desktop speakers but get no sound at all. Hoping I haven't got a dud unit. I have made sure I have the standby switch set to 'on' and all the pre amp setting should still work according to the manual for the 'silent' recording mode. The wife is picking up a 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter for the headphones today, so hopefully that will work. tris

Ahh, so it should be fine using headphones or the emulated line out for now then as long as I make sure I don't switch the standby to the 'on' position? Cheers tris

Already ordered the above, just double checking. Someone pointed this on the first page that I missed before: So I presume I can turn the amp on, keep the standby switch off, and plug in some headphones or take a xlr-3/4" jack lead from the emulated out on the rear of the JMD50 to the line in on my pc or av system? tris

As title, A lot of people (and the manual) on the net seem insistent that you need to have a cabinet attached to the Marshall JMD50 Guitar Amp Head in order to use it or it will blow the amp/headphones. This is the amp: http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Marshall-JMD50-50W-Guitar-Amp-Head/MJ6 Can you not just use it with a pair of headphones? I bought it as it was a bargain and I wont be able to buy a cab till christmas, just wanted to clear it up weather or not I'll be able to use it with just a pair of headphones?? Cheers tris

That was pretty much my plan, just using Rocksmith for now.... then I went down to the local music shop just to buy a stand, came out with that, some spare strings, my mother bought an electric acoustic and got a free stand.... .... few days later it was a guitar bag each, a capo, straps, strap locks, more picks and a couple of pick boxes. Knowing no difference, the amp sounds pretty good for £70, sounds a lot different to Rocksmith due to RS using various effects to make the tone fit to the song, we're a bit spoiled with RS in that respect. As for learning, it's a slow process for me, some pick it up than others I guess, but I'm loving every minute of it either way. I'm not just using Rocksmith though, I'm watching and reading stuff from justinguitar.com, chatting with other players on forums such as this and avforums, chatting with some you tubers on facebook and such too. I'm also going to go for a couple of lessons when I can afford it to learn a bit more of the basic stuff like how to hold the guitar more comfortable etc.... and I need learn to read tabs, and get my fret hand moving more (got 100% on 'shifting' 101 now, happy with that after just a week). tris

Nothing like you lot, just starting out :) So, I'm beginning with: Epiphone Ees Paul Special II electric guitar Vox Pathfinder 10 10w guitar amp Stag guitar strap Hercules fold up guitar stand Picks Pick box 6m Stag guitar cable Rocksmith Rocksmith 2014 Official and Cdlc's and of course my PC and HT system to run it all. Pics (incoming): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/nero041001/Guitar/amp.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/nero041001/Guitar/guitar2.jpg I'll update the post as an when I remember over the coming years. tris

Easy for me.... this: tris

Cheers, backed mine up just in case. I also got it set to save it to the cloud, and when I loaded up the game on my laptop, my save data was downloaded and there without having to move any files from one system to another. Quite handy having cloud saves. tris

Looking at it that way round, it does make sense from the hand's position since your hand is upside down too. Shame I can't attach my head to my hand :mrgreen: I guess it's all muscle memory at the end of the day, and I've been 'playing' a week today.... every day and still loving it. tris

I can see this being pretty handy moving being able to use the sheets to cross ref with Rocksmith to help learn understand tabs (for me anyway), since you'd be able to load the song up on the software and see it on screen and in your hand. Thanks for the link :) So are the tabs that this little tool picks up Rocksmith default form with the low E string at the top or the bottom? tris

I've not long started learning the guitar, and cannot read tabs at all yet, though I have inverted the game setting so it's upside down (downside up or whatever), so my hands get used to the direction of the strings when I come to start learning to read tab outside of game. I'm still unsure about it being that way round as standard, it just doesn't seem logical to me having the thickest string at the bottom since it's the top string nearest to my chest on my guitar. I guess it just takes time to get used to and will find it second nature given time.... .... a bit like touch typing on a qwerty keyboard, nothing is really in alphabetical order, but it just takes muscle memory to get used to.... Which I'm quite glad of as my 'normal' memory is near non existent. tris

Cheers, really good and damn, I'm just beginning and I don't think I'll remember all that.... though I'll have fun trying :) tris

I'll second that, thought the site had been up for a year or so the first time I came here. Congratulations guys and gals :) tris

Nice one mate, will be some fantastic work :) Very much looking forward to the stage/musicals, especially Little Shop Of Horrors. Any thought of doing the Rocky Horror Show? http://rockyhorror.co.uk/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073629/ Phantom of the Opera would go down a treat on this too :mrgreen: I really must find out how to make these customs. tris

Nice selection mate, cheers Portishead - Glory Box.... my ex went to school with the guys who went on to form this band, all of them live in Portishead (suprisingly) it's just up the road from me :) tris

Great selection there, cheers :) Looking forward to: R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (E Standard) tris

Cheers mate, much appreciated :) tris
