  • Gordon Freeman? :O

  • Gordon Freeman :O

  • i wouldve bought this game if they had black sabbath in their tracks.

  • Do you guys think this game will create any bad habits in beginners?

  • @rukaturtle at least i think that any bad habit in guitar comes from not being able to find a comfortable position ._. at least i learned my technique by my own and dont think it's too bad. check out my channel to see it for yourself ;) haha cheers!

  • do you need an Electric guitar

  • @Metaknight1063 anything u can plug into a normal amp works with it

  • ah, the black keys. nice

  • normal tabs are easier o.0

  • do you have to use "E" tuning or can it be lowered??

  • what is the difference between this game an power gig

  • does it show you how to change strings and tune also?

  • what kind of guitar can i use for this game i don't know shit about electric guitars?

  • @HP8oz1P16oz any electric guitar you want. There's even a pack that is sold with a guitar ( an Epiphone Les Paul I think )

  • wow finally a game where you learn something!

  • were is the music theory at

  • Hmmm... I'm not sure about this one. I'd rather stick to regular tabs for now--it is cheaper! Lol

  • for the past 3 days i have been trying to get the fuking games, each time......sold out...-_- i finally sucked it up and bought it online. Now i got to wait a week at least

    to get my T.V and the game. X{ I hate waiting for something i just bought!

  • When will they make one for drums? (=

  • @Hisroyaljazzness

    Rock Band or any Guitar Hero after 3 could do that. Lol

  • can you use your own guitar with rocksmith?

  • @TheBCann Yes...

  • @TheBCann yes you can. im pretty sure the commercial i saw said that you can plug in any electric guitar into it

  • @TheBCann yes. it will work with any electric guitar even ecustic guitars

  • @nubs3 thx for this info =) does it need a 3d tv?

  • Fuck this game!!! I didn't spend 5 years learning to play guitar only for a video game to come out teaching it!!! ARGH!!!

  • this game will help epiphone sell many LP copies

  • No wii? :(

  • i cant wait to see vids of people smashing there guitar bc they miss notes

  • Why didn't they get someone who can play guitar to show us this? I fear this will create an entirely new generation of guitarist that know nothing about music...

  • this seems super complicated

    even for a guitar player, lmao

  • @Lonley01 i know right? i dont understand the highway xD its weird.

  • @gremlin0890 Fuck good thing we already know how to play haha

  • @Lonley01 right? lol, i really only want this so i can overcome this plateau im on. hopefully it can help.

  • Do you guys have any videos that really show how this works without a noob playing? I'm interested in this but I'm not feeling it because there is very little explanation of what is going on.

  • EVERYONE I NEED HELP!!! so this game works with ANY electric guitars? even the ones that are custom made? what about acoustics with plugs? PLEASE HELP!!!

  • @DarkMatterDaniel

    I imagine that it wouldn't matter what guitar you use as long as it's grounded well.

  • @DarkMatterDaniel not acoustic any elctric guritar tho

  • @666bonscott ok thx :)

  • @666bonscott You can use an acoustic sound hole pickup. I've seen them as cheap as $30. I should rephrase that to you should be able to use a sound hole pickup. Never tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

  • @bkpickell i had no clue about acoustics working

  • @666bonscott

    you need a pickup for a acoustic guitar then :)

  • @DarkMatterDaniel it should. as long as you have an axxuliary jack on the guitar it will always pick up the notes that have been strumed. just like a legit amp.

  • o-m-g, add rise against.

  • I can see ALOT of returns on this game from people getting frustrated about the fact that they dont even understand how to tune a "real" guitar. Theres just soo much that goes into just being able to hear notes, that I cant see this having any staying power in the "gaming market."

  • @bigc2nyce There is a built-in tuner in the game. It makes you tune your guitar before you play every song. it makes it extremely easy to tune.

  • dont' buy this....it's called youtube...it works

  • lol, the duck hunting game graphics look worse than anything that was ever on an atari 2600 (google it). but this looks awesome. someone was saying the strings of the guitar on the game are in reverse order (i.e., skinny string on the top). hope that 's not true and hope there isn't any lag. otherwise, it will be great

  • @isaachaze1 thats the way tabs are read the top e is the skinny string

  • better than having to buy that rockband 3 guitar just to play the game authenticly and I hope they let you learn the song like have the tabs lined up on the screen so you can just play it from your head

  • Uh oh, i better start getting better at guitar before a whole wave of kids that learn to really play start catching up, haha

  • its perfect im a beast on guitar hero and guitar.

  • Only one more thing to ask.....

    how much ???

  • This will still never beat playing with live drums...

  • i hate how the strings on the screen look

  • now i want to see those nobs that have play guitar hero songs on expert, how they gonna play this game, this is the real thing, not that shit.

  • this is the fifth video i have seen showing the tech and mechanics, i have to say im really impressed and i will recommend this to any and everyone i know

  • They make the make the game know everyone wants more

  • playing any band instruments isnt gonna be an art or something amazing anymore. people wont know the dicipline that alot of musicians have to put into practicing their instruments. they wont learn the stuff that a computer wont be able to teach you. if you play an instrument you arent gonna be an individual anymore you are jst be another person who plays an instrument that evrybdy can now pik up and play. if u want to learn an instrument learn it the old way. learn it the old way. thru hard work

  • @mettalica1017 That isn't something I'm really worried about. I think that those who pick this game up and want to be real guitarists will learn some stuff from this game but will also learn theory. This game can only tell you what to play. Not how to add spice and taste to your style of playing. Feeling comes from the heart not a game. So I think this game will bring more guitarists to the scene but those who don't really have a passion for it will continue to be video game guitarists.

  • @mettalica1017

    But who is to say that using this game won't be hard work? You will just have a game teaching you than another person. You are still learning by yourself. It will still take dedication and discipline to continue learning how to play chords, theory, and just the basics.

  • I bet it doesn't have any paul gilbert or animals as leaders, or yngwie malsteem...

  • @Jamsessionroom1337 I will download animals as leaders somehow

  • will this work with a bass?, i have a guitar but im just wondering

  • Now they need to make it work for 7 strings and alternate tuned sixes. I don't want to have to get a new guitar or retune and restring what I have now just to play the game.

  • Its like guitar paint by numbers....

  • There's some Black Keys in this game? SOLD

  • I would like to see all them tough guys who play fire and the flames on guitar hero expert play it on rocksmith

  • so, if you use RCA the lag is eliminated?

  • Just ordered! now have to wait 5-8 days :(

  • I'm sick of being the dude who can't play a GH song on easy, but can play it alongside on a real guitar perfectly. This is awesome!

  • @SoadOwnsUrFace i know what ya mean. for me its the other way around. i can play expert but cant play guitar to save my life

  • @SoadOwnsUrFace i know the feeling, i cant play guitar hero for shit, hopefully this game can teach me some of the basics of playing though, ive been wanting to learn for years and form a band, but i cant get there unless i learn the basics.

  • @SoadOwnsUrFace the way i play guitar would be impossible for me to play this game correctly :(

  • so you can plug in any guitar for this game??? sweetttttt

  • Guitar hero for people who can actually play guitar :)

  • @MrDJWn How the Heck? can you say that this is the same as guitar hero?!?!?!?!?!

  • @MrDJWn no, Guitar Hero for people who owned too hard in Guitar hero

  • @AllAroundGamer12 maybe , but still a guitar hero god can't do shit on this game , i mean guitar hero isen't an easy game , but its button's , this is fret's , that's another world :p

  • @MrDJWn i played Guitar hero and kicked ass...i played a real acoustic guitar and sucked ass...and now...I WILL PLAY ROCKSMITH AND KICKASS!

  • @AllAroundGamer12 if you hate acoustic guitar you won't like this to

  • @MrDJWn i never said i hated it, as a matter of fact i prefer acoustic over Electric...and so i will play this game...Learn it...Understand it...AND WIN IT! for i am awesome!

  • @AllAroundGamer12 o ok lol , if you have an elector-acoustic (or semi-acoustic) , you can also play this game :)

  • @MrDJWn what does that mean? doest he game not come with one?

  • @AllAroundGamer12 No, buy your own real guitar seperatly.

  • @buddystevenson it does for like 150 - 200 more

  • @AllAroundGamer12 afcourse not its a game where you need a real guitar if you would get it with the game it would cost hundreds of dollars now its only a 80 dollar game

  • @MrDJWn Oh, damn...well i guess i cant get it cause...i dont know where im gonna find myself a cheap Electric Guitar...that works

  • @MrDJWn

    Or for those who actually want to learn like me :)

  • @loseuwill yes those people to :)

  • @MrDJWn Amen, bout time

  • @DocMohzus :)

  • @MrDJWn But also there are those who play both guitar hero and real guitar... That would be me alongside millions of others on this Earth.

  • @FunkyRoad96 yeah that's true but what i meant is that this is a guitar hero playing with a real guitar

  • @MrDJWn I figured, but it just gets under my skin so bad when I think someone says that those who play guitar hero can't play the real thing.... but Rocksmith really is that though... I only have a wii, but I hope my cousin gives me his old xbox if he gets a new one (hint hint, wink wink)

  • dead focus

  • my guitar is crap and never stays tuned right, so yeah i don't think is going to work with this game

  • @spartandx well, you can tune your guitar in the game.

  • i would love to see some of the kids play this that play guitar hero

  • anyone know the name of the song hes playing?

  • @lonerocker10 The Black Keys - Next Girl from the album "Brothers"

  • ohhhhhhhh NEXT GIRL!!!!

  • It'd be really cool if they also came out with a bass version of Rocksmith.

  • That Epiphone he is using is the Les Paul Zakk Wylde Camo, shit looks great.

  • Now it's time to see who is really good and who's not...

  • i c him hitting the points but i dont hear the guitar....any response?

  • @thatAWES0MEdude in game or the guitar itself? I have the game and it plays all the notes you play and gives you an overview after you play it. If you don't hear him plucking the strings it's because he isn't plucking them hard and the song does play it, it just doesn't get heard unless you mess up because it's in tune with the actual song. it's a pretty neat system but I have had a problem with it not reading the low E string all that well sometimes but that's pretty rare. I just retune it.

  • @Dev1Young thanks

  • i have the game,, mi guitar sucks XD i need more lessons

  • i see it more as a game that i can have fun playing songs that i don't necessarily really want to learn and memorize. Rock band for talented people i guess. Sounds like fun to me. Plus hookin up my gretsch would feel cooler to me than holding that little plastic thing you know? grown ass people standing around with little plastic guitars... Love playing RB with my friend but this seems really fun.

  • Honestly, it just looks like a glorified tab software for noobs to me. This game isn't going to teach you how to play the guitar. If you're new to guitar, you might as well just save your 200$, get a decent guitar and amp, find some chord/scale sheets online and work your way from there. I can already do the same thing that this game is charging 60$ for. I honestly fail to see the purpose.

  • @spo0o0ky its all about people relating to the material. some people might understand it easier in a video game format. either way, if it gets someone to pick up a guitar, thats good.

  • @spo0o0ky

    Well if you fail to see the purpose, then the game probably isn't targeting you. Pretty simple.

  • hey seth rogan

  • I bought this at midnight from walmart along with the new Batman game lol...I havent even opened batman yet cuz im stuck on this fucking awesome game!!!!the sound is fucking sick and this is true guitar playing from simple hammer ons,pull offs to palm muting and fucking harmonics!!! I must say 80 bucks well spent...Oh yea and if anyone wants to buy Batman walmart has a deal right now...you Get Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City in a bundle for 60 bucks lol

  • BLACK KEYS HELL YEA!!!

  • Is that the camo Zakk Wylde Epiphone? I have that guitar!

  • this game is to make people who play reall guitar look like idiots cuz guitar hero didnt damage the cultur enough please no one buy this stupid game

  • @pokemantrader damage culture? I play the real guitar and I fail to see how guitar hero ever damaged the 'culture'. T'was a fun game. And if this uses real tabs and whatnot it could be really freakin' awesome

  • @xVortigauntx

    Guitar hero made alot of guitar wannabes.

  • @xVortigauntx for a wanna be rockstar. music is a cultur but theres diffrent culturs of music "genras" or however you spell its just trying to make you live a stupid dream on a television screen but nevermind what i say it makes no sense do you own rock band?

  • @pokemantrader

    WHAT?!

  • @pokemantrader Nah, I don't even own any game systems it would run on xD I just don't see the hard in people having fun with it. It's the same as those snowboarding games and what-not. And you don't have to be a 'wannabe' to enjoy this game. I'm interested in getting it just for the lulz, even though become some sorta 'rockstar' actually isn't even ON my to-do-list, having fun with the guitar is

  • @pokemantrader dude what are you saying, this game is for people who want to learn how to play guitar, i have been playing for 2 years and its hard to find people to jam with, hopefully this game will increase the number of guitar players. if anything guitar hero helped the music culture get pushed forward. and dont label people that play guitars as "rockstars" just cuz I play the guitar doesn't mean i wanna be a "rockstar"

  • @iMoonDoggiex k well have fun playing with your virtual band for a virtual crowd. maybe someday this game will help you play infront of real people ya never know but im guessing 90% are just goin to play the game and eventually stop playing guitar

  • @pokemantrader

    You have to see it from the other way too ... I have been playing guitar for MANY years and DO play and Gig in a REAL band .... this game is still AWESOME

    When you are not only playing a FUN game AND working on your guitar skills ... that is all WIN WIN WIN

    Not sure what NONE guitar players will do, but I have not gotten board of my guitar in over 20 years and this game will certainly not cause me to do so ...

    This is a GREAT TOOL !!

  • @MikeyGee001 you got a great point i could see useing this for lessons and shit cuz i guess it uses real tabs and shit its prolly great great way to learn songs that you dont already know and if youv been playen for 20 years i dont think this game will turn you off but kids theyll get board with the game and prolly end up gettin board with there actual guitar and thats what "they" vwant

  • @pokemantrader yah 90% will probably play the game and stop playing the guitar, but they will have that skill forever, for most people the guitar is not their life, if u want to be a musician, music/instruments has to be your life, honestly I have a life and a small part of that is music. I do enjoy listening to music and playing the guitar to relax, don't measure success in how much people recognize you. I'm happy playing with my friends and for others

  • A Way more epic version of Guitar here <3 Cant wait to play it.

  • Shitty TVs have delay? No. LARGE TVs have delay because they're LARGE.

    It takes a while to widen the signal to that magnitude when you're like 35"+

    To fix that either change the TV setting to 'Game' (it will eliminate all delay as it tells the TV to not focus so much on frame rate as much as the speed that it spits out the signal) or get a smaller TV.

  • @iTouchHelp100 No, what?

  • @stickmanbrains just no.

  • @iTouchHelp100 Just fuck you cuz you can't think of anything to say to me.

  • it should give you extra points for doing fills

  • So will my 8 string work on this.

  • @theBavib probably

  • wow i think this just mastered over power gig and rock band because you dont have to use that big block thing on the strings were you cant hear the sound

  • Is "We Three Kings" by: Steve Ouimette going to be in this? o_O

  • Put Born Of Osiris - Follow the signs SOLO in this game ! :D

  • @alexhabs73 LOL, Can you imagine that? That's insane.

  • Put Within The Ruins on this.

  • @BreatheEasy1539 I agree

  • must get this game

  • I'm gonna ask a dumb question that nobody's gonna know but; Can you vibrato the notes or improvise in solos (What I do in real life) and get extra points?

  • @BearishZach no man, you only get points for playing the notes they're showing in the TV, and im not sure if you lose points by playing different notes.

  • @BearishZach i was wondering if i sweep pick ill be doing something wrong or some shit?

  • Very cooooool! But i can do the same just pluging my guitar on the amp and playing the song.

  • dudes FOR PC only in december o COMONNN , REALLY .

  • I certainly hope they put YYZ on this :D

  • So how will this work with my 7 string guitars ?

  • @morrumband It just records the sound, so yes it would work.

  • Hell yes The Black Keys

  • dude there's a freemode so this game can act as an amp! sweet

  • this is banannas! plug in any guitar sick!

  • cool LP!

  • Is there an option to calibrate like in rockband to get rid of the delay?

  • This game will help kids to know good music.

  • gime gime i what it now , dont forget metal bands drop c drop d , Slayer; SuidAkrA; Soulfly Megadeath; Five Finger Death Punch; Avenged Sevenfold; Amon Amarth; All That Remains; Machine Head; Behemoth; In Flames; Chimaira; DevilDriver; Disturbed; Dream Theater; Marilyn Manson; Motorhead; Rage against the machine; Pink Floyd RULLLES

  • @zonavelha I agree with some of your artists, but don't forget Pantera, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, and Metallica. Pink Floyd isn't Metal, but they still freaking rule!

  • @MajorGameage96 yes i agree my all time favorit is pantera and i forgot thats just , pinck F not Metal i now but till this day unnmatchd

  • @zonavelha Woot woot! There's someone out there who still listens to good stuff!

  • Good luck Guitar Hero Phenom!

  • @ExodusDisplayer Hahahaha fail. He plays real guitar and is a fucking beast. He will have NO trouble. Don't go around assuming shit, it makes you sound like a douche.

  • @TheOriginalPhatMan being a subscriber of GuitarHeroPhenom, as well as his cat, i already knew that. I really enjoyed his cover of jordan, and i find his dad hilarious. I was actually sincerely wishing him luck with the game. Dont assume everyone is hating, it makes you look like a douche.

  • @ExodusDisplayer He can play the fucking guitar -,-

  • looks way too easy for even a half decent guitarist.

  • @adamdevo The difficulty changes automatically as you get note streakes.

  • disgruntled wii owner: hey what about the wii? come on!

    rocksmith promoter: nah not enough horsepower!

  • OMG he c
