Question
AtGame7
Purchasing Rocksmith 2014 over a year ago I had zero ability to play a guitar and being almost 50 I figured it would be a long hard road to learn to play the simplest stuff. I was pretty much right. I couldn't do anything in the game. It was too difficult to look at the screen, find the fret and string on the guitar and play the note before 20 or so had passed me by.
I never really gave up on it, but ran into some health issues (we all do) and hadn't picked up the game/guitar for a few months. A couple weeks ago I decided I was going to give it an hour a day no matter what. I did and I probably should be embarrassed to admit that the arcade is where I spend most of my time.
Something as easy as String Skip Saloon was too hard for me before but I did play it for an hour each day no matter how poorly I performed. After the first 3 days I was actually getting pretty good at it. I moved on to the next game and the next game and lo and behold I can find my way to the correct string and the correct fret. I even play a mean F5, A5 and E5 at this point. I'm probably not joining a Nirvana cover band anytime soon, but the chords sound right and aren't too hard for me to find on command.
Now, I don't know if others who started with no skill are using the arcade games to learn basic skills, but I really feel as though I am. Am I fooling myself that these "skills" will translate into actually playing anytime soon?
