It's all in the heading so the songs should be memorized and the contest must have videos. :) Because I haven't seen one video of a person who learned guitar from rocksmith playing live on youtube.

Well, the only way to fairly measure the playing is in Score Attack, just like the weekly challenge.  All that needs to be added is the use of Master Mode to hide the notes on the note highway.  Videos, while a bonus, wouldn't be required.

Though, in Master Mode, you still see hand position changes, so that's a little help.

 

I think I've seen a video of someone playing a solo, after learning scales in Rocksmith :P We're probably way too humble :)

ok hahaha yeah I guess I just wanted to know if withouth the track for the instruments and 3d tabs will the game teach playing outside of it... because I'm new to rocksmith and never saw a video of someone stating they learned from rocksmith and is playing outside of the game....
