Rocksmith (splitscreen) - Go With the Flow [Team Cena]

[guitarshreder43]

borrowed this game of a friend new how to play almost all of the songs on guitar fucking flying through it

[galado25]

Not Bad

[BronyTutorials]

Lol my cord that connects my guitar to my xbox broke and while I'm waiting for a new one I just watch your videos and follow along like it's on my xbox.

[Rgarvey93]

do you play classical... cuz thats what it looks like cuz it looks like you are not usto a pick

[MikejR777]

this game is a blast Ive been playing guitar for years and, man this game is fun

[majones117]

damn I cannot do up strums at all no matter how slow a song is.

[carlosisafuckingod]

does this with work with a 7 string guitar

[quincy100697]

nice guitar

[MyNameWasntAvailabl3]

Never thought i would ask what guitar did you use for a game... here it comes: What guitar did you use?

[BravoGangUS08]

@MyNameWasntAvailabl3

lol, it's an Epiphone Les Paul Standard

[XxxmentalyillxxX]

i'm 12 and i play violin now my dad got this game and lets me use his guitar so i shall learn two instruments lucky i guess <3

[ChocoboDreams]

@XxxmentalyillxxX Definitely! It might get boring for you after a while, or you might lose motivation, but try to practice for as long as you can. I wish I had started at such a young age, I'd be a pro at the guitar by now.

[XxxmentalyillxxX]

@ChocoboDreams hey thanks well violin and guitar are very different but as soon as one gets boring i switch to the other on so wish me luck that i can do this

[TAYSONDIAZ]

HARD O.o

[himymovie]

You hold your pick really weirdly

[TheNblake333]

Has this game taught you how to play actual songs? Please let me know because I want to know if this game is worth buying

[CanadianSinna]

@TheNblake333 yes it does teach you how to play the song, but for some songs it looks like it leaves out parts since in this song it was only the rhythm and no lead but yes what is on screen is what u play on a real guitar, i know because i play along with the video :P

[lopez6294]

esa es la guitarra qe biene en el juego

[EsVISION]

This song is way easier without the single notes

[114Freesoul]

Man, you should work on your picking. It's not only looks weird, but it will really impede your progress later

[SgtZaqq]

Songs in this game are like backing tracks - with no guitar?

[MadJesusMinistries]

What editing program did you use to do the split screen? Nice job!

[BravoGangUS08]

@MadJesusMinistries

Thanks

I used Adobe After Effects

[tachkazor96]

hmm how to connect guitar to PC/Xbox/PS3 does it have some adapter or some dont understand :/

[BravoGangUS08]

@tachkazor96 It comes with an Adapter. One end plugs into a USB Port, the other end plugs right into your guitar

[raytorres1277]

WOOHOO!!!! I CANT WAIT TO GET THIS GAME! EPIC!

[IntoTheMeatGrinder]

yeah practice on that strummin cuz it kinda sounds like CRAP

[ApartmentMedellin]

Nice guitar, what is that?

[BravoGangUS08]

@ApartmentMedellin

Thanks, it's an Epiphone Les Paul Standard

[xJordan510x2011]

@BravoGangUS08 Are there any heavy metal songs on the game at all ?? lol

[BravoGangUS08]

@xJordan510x2011 Nope lol but there is Megadeth DLC coming out tomorrow :o Symphony of Destruction, Hangar 18, and Public Enemy No. 1

Should be crazy o_o

[Arenow]

Can the other guitar in the song be played? The one that drops solo phrases between the verses?

[LeXdOVideoz]

until 2:04 he played the same riff lol!

[matthewhanhauser]

i don't know, not for me. it doesn't look like....why i like playing guitar. but if it's for you, go for it!

[tiopappo]

this game sucks!!! get a real band dude!

[kingnocomply]

ya got a point there lol

[WIDERisBETTER]

nice photoshop skills or whatever it takes to make a splitscreen video!

[bkershaccount]

just a tip bc you look like a beginner...when you are playing on the 3rd and 5th fret, instead of moving hand back and forth and just using your pointer finger, try keeping your pointer on 3rd fret and hammering down with ring finger on 5th. less movement = less chance for mistakes...and also will help your fingers get stronger quicker

[kingnocomply]

this shit is disappointing to guitarest who work there asses off to hone real skills

[bkershaccount]

@kingnocomply man, i've been playing for 10 years and felt like you did...including when guitar hero came out. now i think i will like rocksmith bc it will give me a chance to play with a band instead of always alone and will show me how to play some of my fav songs in full, and correctly. unless you play guitar, any difficulty w chords or higher frets is gonna be impossible. i see your point, but i'm actually excited to try this game out and make my playing extra fun

[GDMDeadZone]

@kingnocomply

The hell are you complaining about? This is a great tool to help people learn guitar if they choose to. How is this any differnt then sitting down and randomly learning a song? How would you define honing real skill?

[kingnocomply]

@GDMDeadZone ... cause, by the year 2020 an awsome guitarest isnt gonna be rare anymore .... fuick it i guess its all about the passion any way so you right..... im self taught tho, so like,...idk

[MrDesmeules]

What mean a red line?

Play a E?

[BravoGangUS08]

@MrDesmeules Yah it means just strum the string without pressing down on any frets

[terikotsu]

@BravoGangUS08 or what we guitarists call, playing an Open String. Same thing, Damn good game though.

[kolton777]

Ohhh silly rocksmith x)

[HubAndDub]

thumbs up if your practicing for the game with your guitar because your waiting for it for christmas XDD

[birdo32]

@HubAndDub i really am

[That1MexicanKid1]

@HubAndDub im doing that :D cant wait till i get this game!

[ElbigEmo]

@HubAndDub you hit the jackpot :D

[commando09]

Been playing guitar for 14 years (I'm 18) and as far as guitar hero\rockband goes...not really into it... but this... this is fuckin awesome I can just plug in my fender strat or jackson dinky or kelly or fuckin Gibson SG omfg... I'm buyin it...lmfao

[headsh0tproducti0ns]

A little tip don't just use your pointer finger keep your pointer on the 3rd fret and use your other fingers to hit the notes on the 5th or 7th its easier and you'll miss less notes. ;D

[rcisalive]

Zero style!

[silverblade604]

the alternate picking is offcourse the hitting the strings in an up and down motion

just in case you didn't know ;)

[BravoGangUS08]

@silverblade604 I know what alternate picking is. If you pay attention through the video, there are times where I do that. I just had a hard time with it so I would alternate pick for a pick then go back to down strumming.

I try to alternate pick as much as I can now.

[silverblade604]

@BravoGangUS08 ok, well, just in case you didn't, practice makes perfect doesn't it

[silverblade604]

a little advice, it'll be easier of you use alternate picking, keep your hand on one place and just use your middlefinger ringfinger and pink to hit frets other then the 3rd fred

it'll make your playing more relaxt and it'll make the songs easier

[lolismful]

Nice, does the game do that? or does is that some nice editing?

[bucketofshrimp9897]

@lolismful the game

[HighNflY]

is there lie more advanced versions of the songs I play and I was just playing along with your video this shit looks kind of fun

[Maltasor]

@BravoGangUS08 Try to alternate your picking. It helps a lot in the future.

[matheus3233]

you have a Les Paul and never used it until now.....????

you should be happy just by having one mate!

[85funnyguy]

it seems like everyone who has this game already plays i play and i think im gonna get easier to learn songs combine my two favorite thin guitar videogames

[BravoGangUS08]

@85funnyguy

Uhm assuming I read what you said correctly... I DONT actually play guitar lol.

I have had a guitar since Christmas but I didn't learn to play it, nor did I even use it besides messing around with it on a few random occasions :P This is pretty much my first REAL guitar experience and I love it....it makes learning fun

[cabohtz]

i've read a lot of comments of people pissed off because of the sound lag, y u no have this problem?

[zero13827]

@cabohtz sound lag is caused by HDMI cable.

[CthulhuDarkLord]

Play a real guitar... Oh wait... lol, seriously, this game looks great, I remember playing guitar hero 2 and wishing it was more like real guitar, And i liked rock band pro guitar, but this moves a little slower and shows you more ahead so it's easier to be ready. Not to mention If i could have used my baby (My Ibanez SZ720) with RB3 I would have been a lot better. The strat was too wide, and the fret size really didn't work for me.

[LNsaNeShot]

that is one of the reasons this game isnt good,you basically learn to play but you miss important things: feel,alternative picking (strumming is playing chords not single notes)and many many more. if you played rock band 3 also i can guess you play like that for like half a year,after half a year on real guitar i played the whole stairway to heaven song and now im playing a year and i know pretty advanced things:highway star,cowboys from hell,muster of puppets and more

[Macthillien]

@LNsaNeShot There are different modes to play each song, singel note, combo chord and other stuff. You also learn to play tremold and harmonics.

[LNsaNeShot]

@Macthillien *facepalm* this isnt enough,does this game tells you how to pick right? does it teach you the basic chords and theory you need to know? i saw you didnt know how to play G chord and its like the second thing you learn on guitar.also,it does not teach you scales,improvising,theory in music,how to do every technique the right way,the way the guitar is built and many more things... also,i assure you if you learn guitar from a teacher\internet you can pick better after couple of days

[BravoGangUS08]

@LNsaNeShot As you play through the main part of the game there are "Technique Challenges" that teach you different things.

One is how to pick up and down quickly. Also shows you how to play chords, play tremolos, bend notes, etc.

It has a video showing how to do the specific "technique" then has you practice it.

Honestly if you don't know all that the game has to offer you shouldn't be so negative about it.

I haven't played fully through yet so I don't know if it teache

[BravoGangUS08]

@LNsaNeShot Also just a side note about your guitar teacher comment...that may be the case for some people, but I know from experience (I used to have a Piano teacher) that I HATED learning from a teacher. It is boring and you don't really WANT to practice because of how boring it is to you even if you like the instrument.

[LNsaNeShot]

@BravoGangUS08 in that case you learn from the internet which also tells you chords and scales and such but this game dont

[BravoGangUS08]

@LNsaNeShot With Rocksmith it is actually enjoyable (at least in my opinion.

You get to play some songs you know (along with the rest of the band in the background), the game adds more notes as it sees you improve, and my favorite part is that even though you are learning from it...it is a GAME so I actually enjoy practicing and learning new things to get better and do better on the songs.

[Macthillien]

@LNsaNeShot There are tons of technichs and teaches you the basics and some stuff more. You can't judg the game untill you play it. And how do you know if I can play a G chord or not? <.<

[LNsaNeShot]

@Macthillien yeah? so do you know the five patterns of the pentatonic scale? I saw that you knew how to play D chord but when you told you D\F# you didnt know your supposed to play a D chord but from F# base which is pretty basic thing.

by how you play i can see that you learned guitar terribly which means the game isnt that good.

i saw that you dont know how to play G chord cause when they told you to do a g chord you messed up

[BravoGangUS08]

@LNsaNeShot I'm not sure if I am just misunderstanding your comments but...you know that there are 2 different people you are replying to right?

Cause it seems like all your comments are aimed towards me (BravoGangUS08) but your taking "Macthillien" 's comments as if I was the one who said them :x

[Macthillien]

@LNsaNeShot How the fuck can you know if can play or not! This is not my video!! I'm just commenting because I play the game!! OMG you are fucking stupid.... Don't even check who is commenting...

[FullMetalJJC93]

@LNsaNeShot some people just want to play songs and for that you dont need to know scales you just need to know how to read tab which this game pretty much does. now if you want to write music then yeah you'll need to know scale, chords,ect. Rocksmith is meant to teach you songs and the techniques to play them. my guitar teacher thinks this is a pretty cool game and my music theory teacher thinks its a step up(he dosent like tab).

[omnioblivion]

anyone talking shit needs to shut the fuck up...the fact that hes playing this game means hes practicing...this isnt guitar hero...but anyway good playing bro...like a few other people said when you get comfortable enough practice some alternate picking...saves your wrist some so you can keep on shredding :P

[rshm321]

is that epiphone les paul standard edition and if it is who is it im thinking of buying it plz respond soon @BravoGangUS08

[BravoGangUS08]

@rshm321 Yup it is an Epiphone Les Paul Standard :o

I don't understand the "and if it is who is" part of your comment though :x

[rshm321]

@BravoGangUS08 sorry i meant is it a good guitar

[jaferhassan]

chill on the pick movement XD, try to creat the minimul amount of movement possible to create a clear note. (and try to learn alternate picking)

[Samakar]

Good job, my suggestion is make use of all of your fingers! :) When you hit the 3rd fret of the a string with your index, swing your ring finger up for the 5th fret on the low e string. This will translate into later playing, also it'll help with keeping in time more easily and will increase accuracy. Good luck on your adventures of learning the greatest instrument ever!

[BravoGangUS08]

@Samakar Thanks for the compliment and the advice :D I'll try to follow your advice.

I think when I started playing the game, I always thought in my head whether I should try to just use the one finger for things like that or not but I guess I should use other fingers as well

[vantroy]

Really nice vids! Great job and gratz on the progress.

Now watch some youtube vids on how to hold a pick and to pluck :)

(not being a jerk, its honest to goodness advice. The game designers seem to have overlook that part, I guess)

[BravoGangUS08]

@vantroy Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. The game actually tells/shows you the best way to hold the pick but I ended up just holding it the same way I always do which isn't good lol

In some of my newer videos that aren't up yet, I started holding it the way it shows but I am still not sure if it is correct lol, still feels like I am doing it wrong.

[odiumimbues]

I have finished this song 100% on mastery mode. It has full chords, and the song is way easy.. for an experienced rhythm guitarist.

[gumbomombomombogumbo]

There is a problem here. Because each note you play resonates for x milliseconds, rocksmith pitch detection algorithm picks this up as an additional pick of the note when in fact you have not picked the correct amount of times. The designers should have written exactly the number of times each note should be played if played in succession. In fact a songbook with all the tabs would of been great. Maybe im just a perfectionist, you CAN get by with a rough estimate to picks/strums....

[Noodie87]

@gumbomombomombogumbo You are missing the point. The fact is he will be able to go back and do it himself if he chooses. The goal isnt to finish the song, it is to learn the basics to where you can move on and learn songs on your own and advance further. This game simply provides a basis to do so.

[assainjon]

Y u no uppick??!?!?!

[hameed]

LMAO WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, why dont you actually learn the song?

[bannedaccount57]

@hameed he kinda is after he memorizes the notes he can do it without the game

[odiumimbues]

@hameed he is. obviously.

[hameed]

@odiumimbues hardly, playing one note for every 3-4 isn't learning.

[BravoGangUS08]

@hameed

The game isn't going to just throw the whole thing at you note-for-note. It starts you off with only some of the notes to the song. Then as you get better it gives you more notes. Then when it feels you are ready, it has you play the whole song note-for-note. So yes it IS learning.

[Noodie87]

@hameed Are you an idiot? Or is it something that is out of your control. The game layers the difficulty for you - as you improve it builds the song up until you are playing the entire thing. It is a highly effective learning method called scaling that has scientific research to back it up. Next time think before you talk. It is a fact that this game is a tremendous learning tool for new guitar players allowing them to improve while seeing success as they advance through levels.

[Hippy0Dude]

Alright probably stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway! Can you play Bass on the songs? 

[ReaperWEare]

@Hippy0Dude Bass is scheduled for release in the first DLC.

[iReacTiionzzzzz]

well done bud, keep it up, the game gets well hard, believe me ;) id put up some vids, but i dont have a capture card and my video camera is total trash

[shacham6]

I think that Breed of Nirvana is a must to do song. Please upload it!

[BravoGangUS08]

@shacham6 I uploaded it recently :D

[Sonoragenluv3]

I love these, I havent bough the game, but I can just play along with it on my guitar, keep posting!

[MVrockersPS3]

sup

[slashfan7777]

keep ur right pinky down when picking notes!! one of the most important things my guitar teacher told me!

[BravoGangUS08]

@slashfan7777 Alright I'll try not to forget :x

[alph0x]

Explain me something, this game have Difficulty Selection? and why those notes aren't 1:1 the song...

[CrescentoD]

@alph0x the game has a dynamic difficulty setting, meaning that what you see on screen changes from easy to hard depending on your performance, if you are a beginner then you will only see part of the notes, when you start getting better then the game will add more notes to the song until its eventually "1:1"

[BravoGangUS08]

@alph0x Yah as CrescentoD said the game doesn't have a difficulty selection. However if you continue to do well and hit the notes it throws at you, it will begin to increase the difficulty. Then eventually once you have become really good, you will be playing the song note for note

[MCRlKiLLjoY]

I have a western cort with fishman preamp i think that also works with rocksmith :)

though i dont have a console live in europe and my pc is considerably slow :(

ill have to wait i guess

[thewolf619]

The band "RockSmith" is blocking the release of the "game" in Europe. That's why it won't be released until March 2012.

[1989Muppet]

@thewolf619 Take that Europe!

[CorporalGoogoo]

Wish there was a europe release...



[BravoGangUS08]

@CorporalGoogoo It sucks that it isn't available in Europe right now but as thewolf619 said, it will be coming out in Europe sometime in 2012

[ruolbu]

@CorporalGoogoo If you really need to play the game soon you could import the PS3 version from amazon com

It cost me 200€ - that's roughly 40€ for shipping and taxing fees. Of course don't expect to run the game on an old TV that does not support NTSC - use a modern screen with a digital input like HDMI or DVI. Sadly the game is currently rather expensive in comparison to the pre order.

The thing is, the game might come out during Winter or Spring... or in a year. I expect the later ;)

[KillerPanda420420]

can you play this game with any guitar?

[BravoGangUS08]

@KillerPanda420420 Yes any Electric Guitar will work with the game

[krypt0nian]

@KillerPanda420420 Even electric-acoustics work.

[Natloe1]

Oh man, the RB1 Days, that was the best part of getting into classic songs like these, awesome job dude! :D

[Monkeybread2010]

Doin good. I been playing it. Gettin better. Learning.

[DerekMan00]

Freakin love this song. Nice job man :D
