I wish. How long should it take to learn the basics?
Not long. Once you learn 3-4 chords you'll be able to play hundreds of songs. The more you learn, the more you can do. 30 to an hour a day and in 1 year you'll be able to look back at your progress and be like damn....but you'll understand how you knew nothing and now you can stare at the TV and play without looking.
Has anyone ever tried using Rocksmith?
I have a PC with an audio interface and an electric guitar. I used to take lessons and could read music and play a few songs but i forget. I remember how to read guitar tabs though since it was easy. Thinking about getting back into it.
I have it. It's fun in that if you are a completionist, it forces you to play music or songs outside of your preferred genre. And it challenges you in that there are different chord progressions and notes as well as techniques in different songs so if you are ever making your own music or find yourself in front of some music that your faced to play, you can do it.
I have Rocksmith+ too for the piano. And it's much of the same. It goes on sale around black Friday a year subscription for like $50 or so.
If you get an old version, you can play the games on it. Which are dope because you aren't playing songs but practicing techniques like string skipping, chords, transitions, hammer ons, bends, slides... And you are learning and practicing but not in the traditional way of doing so. So while you're hitting a high score or beating a level it actually translates to real skills
Are you still trying to learn?Got my first guitar (acoustic 6 strings).
