Does learning the guitar using Rocksmith work?
I mean can you really learn the guitar just from this game/program or is more like "hey it has modes that allows you to train certain elements that you original learned at some sort of professional training??
Just wondering...
A guitar magazine I read in the UK called Total Guitar did a feature on Rocksmith by asking a few different people to try out the game and give feedback, they had a guitar teacher, session musician and air guitar uk champion (lol) trying it out.
I can't speak personally but judging from their feedback it'll get you used to the basics of playing, i.e. how to hold the guitar and strum properly etc and the minigames would help to improve fretting accuracy and dexterity. but at the end of the day you're only training to get better at the game itself as opposed to learning how to be a stand alone player. Maybe this new session musician function could address that?
The conclusion I got from the feature was that it won't teach you guitar, it'll show you how to jam a couple of songs to a backing and is a slight step up from guitar hero in some respects.

I suppose putting people off of the game would be essential to an instructional magazines long term survival captcha...
