Yeah, yeah, I know, banjos aren't Rock, but technically a banjo tuning could be accomplished, and with an acoustic pickup, it might work.

 

Anyone else think of this, or other possible instruments?

 

Thoughts?

Yeah I thought about using a banjo for the duelling banjos song from deliverance. Could work I guess.

And yeah banjo would work for sure.

cool - I hadn't seen that thread...

 

I'll have to chart a few up and see how they go... (I've got a banjo @ home) - need to grab an acoustic pickup.

 

The banjo's range is just above the guitar's, so recognition should be good.  Curious to see how it handles the high g string, as the tuning would be gDGbd.

You can handle the tuning the way you want RS doesn't have a lot of limitation (it's possible to have up to 5 strings at the exact same note).

You can do it. I've plugged my electric bagpipe which has a quarter inch plugin into rocksmith. I'm still working on mapping a song out for it now.

Electric bagpipe? That must be awesome!

I seen a video on youtube of a guy who used his violin ,.

I've got a Kala U-bass...
