I’ve gradually but noticably improved over the last four months, without additional formal instruction, which is beyond awesome. At this point, it’s habit, and I hope I’ll stick with it. I re-committed with Rocksmith 2014, and I have been playing the guitar almost every day since, generally for 30-60 minutes a day. I got nice surges thanks to two games that let you play a real guitar – Rock Band 3 (Pro Mode) and the original Rocksmith – which got me part-way up the “wall,” but still hadn’t translated into regular practice or gotten me to the point where I would safely feel like I was of intermediate skill level.
When I was a teenager, I learned to play well enough that I’d consider myself an “advanced beginner.” Over the years, I’d played off and on (usually off), but never quite getting over “the hump” into what I would consider the “intermediate” stage of playing. Learning to play a real guitar is not much like mastering the plastic controller – it’s a lot harder, and has a lot more room for error. Sadly, that’s not how this industry works. This is unsurprising, but also unfortunate, as Rocksmith 2014 is a game / tool that is best evaluated over the long haul.
Now that Rocksmith 2014 has been out almost six months (I’ll have a six-month report in early May), articles and reviews about it have dropped off significantly.
