[jdlomaxlk]

[bumhunter2282]

DUDE! nice T-shirt!

[Popogagnon]

@bumhunter2282 Thanks :-)

[ConnorsBattlefield]

ubisoft has been pritty bad.revelations sucks also.

[TheOutkast4ever]

Don't forget assassin creed games, ghost recon games, l think splinter cell games, l can't think anymore but l know there's other good games

[Popogagnon]

@TheOutkast4ever Well I don't particularily like Assassin's Creed (personal taste) and they haven't released a Ghost Recon/Rainbow 6 in a while.... Where's the Ubisoft of 2004 hat ruled it all?...

[89Mokoloko]

Quess tu en pence maintenent Je me suis achter le jeux aussi et jetais en même place que toi je connaissais just deux toune et la Jen connais une disaine et je connais beaucoup plus daccord aussi

[Popogagnon]

@89Mokoloko Génial! Malheureusement je n'ai pas pu  toucher à ma guitare pendant le temps des fêtes.... Je m'y remet et je fait un autre vidéo dans 2 semaines! :-)

[xxxUnseenSoulxxx]

Just saying, there are real guitars the size of the power gig guitar. The local music store has 2-3 Stratocasters that size that are actually pretty decent

[666lucky13]

A buddy who doesn't play guitar got this bundle for Christmas. I myself do play and am interested because it appeals to me. On question I have to ask though; did you have to get the guitar set up? my buddy's was horrible, but once I ironed it all out, I really dug the guitar.

[Griffyndor23]

I got Power gig band bundle brand new at gamestop for 40 DOLLARS

[zero13827]

@Griffyndor23 Other shops have it for about 7-10 bucks.

[indgiu]

do you really think they didn't have any previous knowledge of how to play a guitar???

[MrPhilipr99]

-at below comment- yes there is ... I have a real Gibson les Paul and I

Bought the game for 70$ at GameStop that just included the cord and game.

[IzRigiDDzI]

So I already own an Epiphone Junior model. I bought it as my first guitar. But is there anyways I can buy just the game and the cable. Basically I'm wanting to use the guitar that I already have. Instead of spending $200 and having two of the same guitars.

[Popogagnon]

@IzRigiDDzI Yes of course. As mentioned in the video, the game works with any electric guitar you may own. There is a kit that's only the wire and the game that runs for about 70$.

[codfan66634]

this gig plastic one

[Popogagnon]

@codfan66634 No. The Rocksmith guitar is a real wood and metal guitar. The one from PowerGIG was all plastic and crappy :-)

[codfan66634]

im srry this is a shitty guitar mine as well get a real guitar and get the game and cord seperate for it if u really looking into playing it

[xxxUnseenSoulxxx]

@codfan66634 1st, learn to form an English sentence. 2nd, Epiphone makes fine guitars for beginners and even experienced players and the Les Paul Junior is no exception. The only bad thing about that guitar is that it only has a bridge pickup as opposed to a neck and bridge but thats not even that bad.

[garytang182]

freaking hell i found a rocksmith kit at costco for 79.00 and i didn't buy it

[ElbigEmo]

i have a question i have a real guitar and an amp cable already when i buy the game only do they give me the usb adapter? does it come with the game box only or a big box tht brings the cable with it?

[ElbigEmo]

@ElbigEmo PS. my guitar is a fender electric i think its a stratoscaster or starcaster

[Popogagnon]

@ElbigEmo There are 2 different bundles for the game. 1 comes with the game disc and the USB adapter. The other is the guitar bundle which contains the first bundle. I hope this helps :-)

[ElbigEmo]

@Popogagnon thx that really helps alot keep doing great videos i enjoyed it alot :D

[ORENGEcarot]

@Popogagnon this is fucking awesome as fuck man !!!! i was searching for a game like this for years !!!! you said you got it for 175 $ ... i saw it on amazone for 275 $ ... where did you get it from man ?!?!?

[seanseet123]

0:00~5:00 talking about sumthing else 5:01~7:57 Rocksmith

[gwarriorfromhell]

i play this all the time. so much fun, and it has taught me TONS of new things to do with my guitar. i have improved my chord progression, scales, and tremelo picking. so yes, as a preson who has been playing guitar for 9 years, and to still improve using xbox 360 software is a testament to the developrs.

[Popogagnon]

@gwarriorfromhell Thank you very much for the complimentary info! You should make a little demo video about what you mentioned here, I would link you as a video response :-D

[ITZEXILE1]

do not pull the amp cord out diagonoly it will break the amp hole

[YoyoingPony]

Now i'm glad I didn't buy Power Gig, lol. Only thing is, i'm a lefty, so I have to get (hopefully for Christmas) a new guitar. I was in your same situation with " stopped, then I got back into it". The game looks awesome, and I really hope I get it for Christmas. And your unboxing was really good. I'd call it more of a review than an unboxing, but you don't know until you play it. Anyway, looks really cool, and you got me wanting this game. ;)

[MrRaphy92]

Nice shirt :)

[xxTony9146xx]

This is a cool game I need to get it

[cfalcon07]

eventually powergig went for 10$ new... no joke LOL look it up. piece of shit. rocksmith 4LIFE

[kimjenkins123]

everyone that is probably the worst guitar u can get till u customize with new pickups i recommend if anyone has one wilikinson gibson style tuners, gibson p90 dog ear and new knobs

[Lemmiwinks07]

just fucking unbox it already

[xlxshanexlx]

what do you mean tom clancy is gone? new clancy game coming out soon.

[ConnorsBattlefield]

ya ubisoft is fucking awsome

[ConnorsBattlefield]

you look 90% like avgn

[PandawdyBob]

Always thought it would be cool to have a guitar with LED's that light up on the fret board and you know exactly where to put your fingers.

[kurdtyeshua2012]

it's $125 now here

[wiinko16]

@kurdtyeshua2012 where? if you can provide adress, i'll be grateful. thanx

[wiinko16]

where? will be gratefull if you tell me 

[Whatevernuke]

@popogagnon we can't, I'm in England and I don't know about Denmark but I think the english consoles use pal which Americas don't :(

[Popogagnon]

@Whatevernuke If you compare with the price of guitar lessons, it's still worth it to import both Rocksmith and an extra 360 ;-) Also, I heard rumours that 90% of PS3 games work worldwide, regardless of regions or formats. Might want to look into that :-)

[migelsker]

i wont this but i i cant becous i live en denmark .... dame you ubisoft for not tjekkting name rights :(

[Popogagnon]

@migelsker Import it man. It`s worth it :-)

[GHPro10]

@Popogagnon Right on man

[GHPro10]

DUDE! No AC? Have you played AC Revelations lately?

[omega71828]

im either getting this or skyrim not sure yet.

[egyptiangirlxt]

@Popogagnon I just bought one right now, it should arrive at monday. Right now it's not getting a lot of attention but sooner people would realize that it can be a really good tool for learning guitar, instead of spending thousands of dollar for a tutor or something. But then again, it wont teach you the music theory and all, just the skill to play it. But then again it doesn't really matter, because music theory informations can be find in the internet; its the skill that requires a tutor

[ConAJvids]

Well played Bill.

[69bballdude]

the first guitar he showd us wasthe size of my full size violin

[Shadownian]

Ive been asking this just about everywhere....what do you think of the guitar itself? Im thinking they had to make a bunch of these for the game and may have cut corners to get em out quick . I was thinking of getting a Dean Vendetta xm instead at about the same price...which is also a bit more my style (metal) I just dont care for the finish on that one( Matte) So Im a bit undecided....

amazon( . )com/Dean-Vendetta-Electric-Gu­itar-Finish/dp/B0018TBECU/ref=­sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320968794&­sr=8-1

[Popogagnon]

@Shadownian Keep in mind that I am a true beginner and have no knowledge that pertains to guitar quality. That said, 5 guys I know picked this up with me and all 5 guitars have been "guitaring" just fine. The only negative comment I heard was software related. He claimed that after tuning the guitar in-game he plugged it in an electronic tuner and it was still out of tune. How bad? He said "totally". Sounds right to me but what do I know :-)

[jmannunez]

@Popogagnon The tuning isnt a software problem. The Epiphones that come with the package are cheap in build. The tuners are really bad on that specific model. At the guitar center i tuned it up perfectly, 10 seconds later it was back to shit tuning. I am very happy that they actually put epiphones in the package. Its a REEEAALLLY good deal.

[TheOGsurfer]

@Shadownian dumbass, they didnt make these guitars for the game, its an epiphone les paul special 2. shows how much you know, anyway, the only bad part is it cant stay in tune very well

[assasinz24]

assassins FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[physcosykes]

The package is a good deal. The guitar isn't great but if its your first time attempting learn guitar who cares. Although, I wouldn't take lessons from rocksmith because I think it just gives you numbers for the frets and strings. Right?

[cracker27]

Best part about the game is it's basically that you're just buying a guitar and getting the game for free. I've had a few Epiphone Les Paul Juniors and they're not half bad. Granted it's not a Standard or a Custom but they're still pretty damn good for the price they're selling you the game and guitar for. When I pick this game up, I'll probably end up modding the guitar and selling it cuz I've got a Les Paul Standard already but all in all, it's a pretty good deal

[TheTylerbowers]

what about ghost recon future soldier?

[RandyRhoads72]

I have a real GIBSON SG EBONY model

[Popogagnon]

@RandyRhoads72 Ooooooh nice! Put up a video of it?

[JordanMacfly]

@RandyRhoads72 Congratulations, no one gives a shit

[DigitalPimpSlap]

Assassin's Creed is one of Ubisoft's most successful franchises...

[DigitalPimpSlap]

i never even heard of Power Gig until the announcement of Rocksmith

[haroldlee2483]

Is the Epiphone les paul junior good? I heard the jr. doesn't stay in tune, is it real?

[physcosykes]

@haroldlee2483 Its a real guitar just it's not outstanding in sound and everything. If its your first guitar its probably fine.

[aaaaasssss22]

The E and A string looks really close together.....

[123Nnoitra]

que gay eres!

[matheus3233]

nice backstory man....I liked it..I thought the whole video was only the unboxing ><

oh, but you bet this isn't a good beginner guitar...it's a damn AWESOME guitar...Epiphone's a "sub-brand" of sorts of Gibson...that's all I need to tell you ^^

[fatnate28]

if people want to learn guitar get off your ass and take lessons, stop trying to take the easiest way to do it.

[gabewow]

i hope they make as many games for this franchinseas they did with rockband,

i hope the game does well enougth to see games like metalsmith, or jazzsmith, classicalsmith or bluessmith hehehe bad ass loading times are horribly long other than that this game is awsome buy it

[jjashman117]

i want to learn guitar and i think i have found the game :)

[nixsun]

How do you like it so far, is it worth buying? Are you learning guitar?

[triton113]

Holy crap you look like Bill Gates

[Popogagnon]

@triton113 Thanks? :-P

[kjchicago1]

@Popogagnon I picked up that game! Picked it up yesterday! Wish they had a real Gibson Les Paul Jr. or Gibson Les Paul Studio! But, they have a Les Paul Epiphone Jr. Guitar like the one I saw at Sam Ash(Epiphone Les Paul Junior, that is)You think this game is gonna sell a million copies and is better than Guitar Hero?

[Popogagnon]

@kjchicago1 I gotta be honnest: 1-It isn't much of a game. More like a collection of tools to learn guitar 2-I think it will fail. Not because of it's quality but because of price and the fact that music games just died. I support it and wish it all the best but my outlook on it is bleak. I encourage you to post videos of your progress report like I just started doing. Maybe it can help promote the game. We can only hope! :-)

[dday12597]

@triton113 he really does XD

[TheMAJofficial]

You are all guitarded an epiphone les paul jr or gibson les paul jr are "full sized" they just have one pick up that is the only resone tgey call them jrs... I know what i am talking about with 2 and 3/4 years of resurching This stuff.

[Pillows4life1]

@MisterBlinkyTheGreat

No there is the Les Paul Standard and the Les Paul Jr. The Jr is NOT a junior sized guitar, it is full adult size the junior has less pickups ect. For a fuller rock tune. This the reason Billie Joe Armstrong uses one.

[MisterBlinkyTheGreat]

@Popogagnon No, he means that an epiphone les Paul Jr. Is not an actual full blown electric guitar, it's a model. Notice it has just one pickup, one vol and one tone.

[Popogagnon]

@MisterBlinkyTheGreat Here's what I mean: The name of the guitar is "Les Paul Jr.". Actually own a Stratocaster (a copy of course) and they're both the relative same size so I know it's full size :-)

[GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

@MisterBlinkyTheGreat, Les Paul Jr. are like that. They're legit guitars. Same with SG Juniors. Some people prefer them because when you have one pickup, you don't have to worry about the magnets in the other pickups to offset the tone.

[moytron1]

@MisterBlinkyTheGreat it's a full-sized guitar dumbass. Having one pickup and one tone knob doesn't mean it's not a real guitar you fucking dipshit.

[KageHiRyu]

Wow! I am liking the size of that guitar! I kinda had the same problem where schedules conflicted with me & my teacher. I'm going to be using this game as more of a refresher on things I've learned, and see if it teaches me some new tricks along the way.

[Pillows4life1]

Good review but the guitar is an Epiphone Les Paul Jr.

The les Paul Jr. is a model, it's not a junior guitar.

[Popogagnon]

@Pillows4life1 I learned that from a commenter just yesterday :-) Thank you for the correction. I shall proudly pronounce the "s" from now on. ;-)

[JakeTomphson1]

Its not that bad what youre saying there, but one thing kinda hit me (as an actual guitarist).... I just wanna set things right you actually have to say the s because the guitar is named after a guitarist by the name of (you guessed it) Les Paul so please say the s next time

[bradr00lzd00d]

from never playing the guitar is it easy to get into the game like does it get you started and stuff?

[Popogagnon]

@bradr00lzd00d It's a no brainer. The guitar is ready to go, the software guides you through tuning. The only thing missing is a hand placement guide. You should be fine. If not,just look up a few YouTube videos for whatever you're missing.

[JeFilm94]

The guys from Corridor Digital didn't learn that in a month, they actually played guitar from before they got the game. But don't let that give you second thoughts! It takes time learning an instrument, and it can be tough and a real pain in the ass, but there's nothing more fun than see how your'e building skills!

I play the guitar myself, got a Epiphone Les Paul Standard and a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop Traditional, and I can't wait to plug either one of'em in when the european release is out!

[Maltasor]

@Popogagnon man i cringed when you got out the jack like that in 6:14 cos it damages the wire and input :S

[jayou812a]

I have this game and have been playing guitar for quite some time.This game cannot replace tips and tricks from a real guitar instructor.

[xxmg13xx]

thanks your video was very helpfull i just went out and bought the same thing.

[nychold]

Actually, Les Paul is the stage name of (and sort of short for) Lester Polsfuss, the designer and creator of the Les Paul guitar. But the first time I saw it (back when Guitar Hero 3 came bundled with a 'Les Paul' controller), I thought it was French. :) And I'm actually kind of curious as for how that guitar sounds.

[Popogagnon]

@nychold Wow! Very informative! Thanks for the correction! :-)

[zonavelha]

dude finaly some one doing the unboxing he he he its just amazing, please do more vids of the tunes that are one the game , thanks .

[Popogagnon]

@zonavelha I will be adding the information I have on the songs (the ones printed on the back of the box) in the description shortly. Thank you for the kind words :-)

[malaki166]

great review

[Popogagnon]

@malaki166 Thank you :-)

[simonFTWlol]

greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaa­aaaaaaat again

[Popogagnon]

@simonFTWlol Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks again! :-D

[GentleGeisha]

Thankyou for sharing! It's refreshing to hear a sceptic being convinced that it's a good game, compared to all the fans who were over-excited even before they got they're hands on it. Great review, and for me, thankyou for showing the box! I wanted to know how big it was before I got to the store so I can plan out how to get it home :3

[Popogagnon]

@GentleGeisha You're very welcome :-) I had to transport it on the bus, people were asking me questions left and right! Good times :-)

[wolfthing11]

Cool finally someone unboxes the whole thing

[Popogagnon]

@wolfthing11 Actually, I screwed up and didn't show some of the content. The guitar strap, the amp cable, the fret stickers, the guitar manual and the actual guitar box wasn't showed. I took a second to rectify that at the beginning of my unboxing video for "Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure - Starter Pack" which is uploading as I am writing these lines. Sorry about that but I hope you enjoy the other video as well :-)

[wolfthing11]

@Popogagnon Yesterday I actually bought it so I know now what's in it. Thanks for replying :]

[Popogagnon]

@wolfthing11 Sorry I failed you there. I'll do better next time :-)
