I've had people that never played guitar before try it and they pick it up faster than trying to teach them. You can buy and download the songs you want to and their catalog is pretty decent. The only problem I find is that I don't remember the songs as well even though I just played them hah, but it's all in fun and a great way to become a better guitar player. Also, I completely abandoned my amps/pedals/etc... and just run everything through Rocksmith, though I have some nice towers that pump pretty good. That's my advice. Cheers!

Yeah, I got this for fun for the PS4 last year. I find learning songs from Rocksmith really hard because it's very difficult to navigate all the notes as they are floating past you and therefore you don't commit it to memory. I've tried playing segments over and over again but it's super hard to figure out what you are supposed to be playing.
The only way I was able to play Iron Maiden - The Trooper is by reading the tab first, learning the song, and then playing it on Rocksmith. By that time I was good enough that Rocksmith decided that it would make all the on screen notes invisible which completely defeated the purpose but made it a fun backing track exercise.
Its also hard to unlock the amps and pedals that I want in game, at least it is with the latest version.
Rocksmith is fun for rock/pop songs. I'd like to get more into clean tone/jazzy stuff and fix up my strat for that.
