[center] Guide: How to put your custom DLC in your Xbox360

As much as I would like to have Custom Rocksmith Songs to play
on my Xbox, the idea of tampering with my console to make it
JTAG friendly is just not worth the time or effort. Beyond
potentially wrecking your console and rendering it useless, you
will get a lifetime ban from Xbox Live. I enjoy my Online /
Multiplayer experience. Can't risk losing that service.

So the lines are blurred of being a game and teaching you to
play guitar.
Looks pretty amazing.
Now step into my world beyatch and do something with your other
two appendages.
Bhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-haaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Seriously, that looks tough as hell.

They have to market it as a "game" to get that demographic that
was into Guitar Hero and Rock Band. But underneath the hood,
this is straight up a teaching tool first and then a "karaoke"
machine 2nd as a center piece for you and your friends when they
come over. Yes, they have Career mode in Rocksmith which
basically has you traveling all over the world, starting out in
small venues to play in bars and whatnot. You have set list that
you perform and every song, every venue, everything that you do
unlocks more and more leading your way to playing Arenas and
then eventually Stadium shows. That's the "game" aspect of it.
The rest as they say....is gravy.
The note highway does take a bit of getting use to, but it's not
as hard or as complicated as it looks. Most of the stuff they
show in the video is usually Master Mode, so you see all these
notes flying at you super fast and it came look daunting. The
thing about that though is that you can manually set the
difficulty level to your liking. The lower the difficulty, the
few the notes you will see coming at you and vice versa.
For existing guitar players like myself, the best thing about
this is that we are basically getting our own in-house band with
access to tons of songs that otherwise would never get the
chance to be played if you don't have a band on hand to jam with
you.

[center]Rocksmith 2014 Edition -- Learn to jam with Session Mode
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BPFMDdMpttw
Songs from some of my favorite artist is obviously a draw toward
wanting the game, but it's Session Mode that hooked me in from
the start. I wish the video was a bit longer to tide me over
till release day....two weeks away.

Very interesting indeed. I guess when you really think about it,
music is very structured, in particular mathematical kind of
way.
How else would the AI drummer or bass even begin to know what to
play?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of how AI
musicians work. It's fascinating nonetheless. I will of course
jump immediately into my favorite songs that are on disc, but I
see myself spending way more time in Session Mode working out
riff and song ideas. I'm curious if there will be a record
function with Session Mode to capture those 'lightning in a
bottle' moments. Don't want to lose anything that really stands
out as inspired.

Picked up my copy of Rocksmith 2014 this morning. I have been
messing around with it for the past couple of hours and all I
can say is that I am incredibly impressed with the upgrades to
the overall design. The biggest plus this version has going for
it is in how quickly the "game" loads. You can fly all over the
place from songs to riff repeater to Guitarcade. Wherever you
want to go, it's almost instantaneous with no delay at all. This
is HUGE as it keeps you in the zone going from Point A to Point
B.
One problem I am having is the with in-game tuner. Standard
tuning is fine, but when it comes to alternative tuning's, it's
not registering or "hearing" that my guitar is in tune. Not sure
what the deal is. I left a note over at Rocksmith and hopefully
they have some suggestions to remedy this.
So, the two songs I have been working on are The Kinks You
Really Got Me and The Ramones Blitzkrieg Bop. What is funny is
that I have never bothered to learn either of these songs on my
own at any time. So, I was kind of surprises at how insanely fun
both songs are to play. Fun yes, but it's brutal. My hands are
aching. The chord progressions, as "simple" as they may be, are
giving me a true work out. Not even close to being 100% on
either songs. More like 30% and 20% respectively.
I messed around inside Session Mode. It is somewhat daunting. A
lot of controls to mess around with. Still need to get the hang
of how best to approach is. Well, back to the game now........

I remember getting guitar hero think it was guitar hero but I
was surprised at what songs were fun to play and even though I
knew them maybe wasn't a huge fan but if you're going to the
levels and you start playing the songs that maybe would never
try they actually end up being some of your favorites off of the
album so its cool it will take you out of your comfort zone and
probably trying things that you wouldn't normally try like the
two songs you mentioned sounds very cool have fun with it!
sorry on my phone doing voice recognition typing. So that upper
portion just ended up being one huge run on sentence with a few
typos. I don't have the energy to go cracked it but I think you
get my point. Sometimes with these games songs that you now but
would never learn on guitar end up being some of your favorites
to play and learn. I think that's a very cool thing.

That's what I love about both Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014. It's
that variety that keeps things fresh. I never want to go back to
playing the way I use to and that was all about being the
fastest player. Satch, Vai, Morse. It does get old. I forgot to
mention about the game, when you first boot up the game, it will
ask you if you want to play guitar or bass. I chose guitar. Duh.
After that it will ask you if you want to play lead or rhythm. I
chose rhythm for the reason I just mentioned above. So the game
takes you down the road of songs that are more rhythm based as
oppose to lead based. I love this game. Most likely will be
playing on through the night. Have to give my hand a few breaks
throughout to keep it from cramping because as you play the
songs, you level up pretty fast when you are hitting the notes
they throw at ya.
