Wich band inspired you to play guitar or bass or other instrument? To me,mostly it was Green Day when i was about 12-13 years old.I listend Jesus of Suburbia so many times,and then i thought how awsome could be to play guitar like them, and even make a rock band but it was just a dream to me,just to learn to play the guitar and didn't even know Rocksmith.So yeah,to me Green Day inspired me also Billy Talent with their cool songs like Viking Death March,Fallen Leaves,Saint Veronika etc,but wich band or even music inspired you to play?

I happened to wonder what happens if I attempted to use a midi controller instead of a guitar-like instrument. (think left of hand of piano as playing similar tones as bass) Previously I had updated the my settings to allow the use of an Apogee Jam rather than the Realtone cable and had much success with this method via Aggregate Device Settings on OSX...This is a simple preference update, no kludge. (though you need to understand the frequency range you are operating in or suddenly out of range notes are not detected). However when I look at the Audio Devices window in Audio Midi Setup, I can't see my midi controller (as an Audio Device), though it is present in the Midi Devices window. This seems to mean that I can't add the midi controller to a new Aggregate (Audio) Device. I'll call this Problem #1. If I could get past problem #1, I think it would expose Problem #2, being... I suspect there is a gap between what the midi controller outputs and the input expected. Typically to use the midi controller, software is required to determine which frequency the midi controller is currently mimicking and that RS2014 does not fulfil this role. (or perhaps if you specified the frequency range tightly/accurately enough the low value corresponds to C if your midi controller's lowest note is C)....enhancement request for Ubisoft perhaps? I'm not sure of how easily we transpose tab to keyboard, seems like it could be confusing to translate tab back to note and there's a limitation regarding the number of keys the midi controller has, particularly if you're using a microkey device with much fewer keys than normal keyboard. Perhaps I should email Neil Young requesting an update to Crime in the City for the Rocksmith generation. "No vocal, no song, no audio device, no midi output processing, possibly missing keys". Anyone else tried the midi path, or similar lunacy and care to share their insights?

I have been reading up on what Guitars/Basses people own on here so i was curious does anybody else on here own an extended range instrument? (Bass with 5 or more strings) (Guitar with 7 or more strings). I'll get the ball rolling, this is my Ibanez RG8 modified with Dimarzio D Activator Pickups. http://i62.tinypic.com/anh93t.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/15ewhdx.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/t0lo36.jpg
