I’m curious to know if anyone else is playing this game and what your thoughts might be.

In short Rocksmith is guitar type game using a real six string guitar. I’ve had it installed for couple of weeks and my guitar playing skills have advanced from not playing for over thirty years to being able to score points to advance. All the while having a lot fun in the mean time.

If interested I would do a YouTube search for Rocksmith to see the interface and some of the more advanced players.

I’ve had it for a while and love it. Haven’t been playing much lately but it is a great game.
