That said, I didn't know any of the songs on the game so it did present a challenge because I was playing them realtime on the fly and that was a fun challenge.
I found the progression pretty quick. If you killed a few songs, it quickly moved you up. But yeah you would typically have to go through a song 3-4 times before it gave you the real thing, even if you were playing it near perfectly. But once you got 3-4 songs at the high level, it kept you there.

Anyways, Rocksmith is a great resource for the mechanics. My plan has been to read a lot of theory books while playing Rocksmith for the mechanics. I'm having trouble focussing on the theory books.

Maybe I'll try out those Gibson lesson sets though. Looks interesting.

Edit: Anyone know the difference between the expanded and regular editions of the Gibson set? You can buy the expanded on Gibson's site for $150 or the regular edition on Amazon.ca for $100. The expanded comes with 10 extra DVDs, but it doesn't say what's actually on those DVDs.
