Has anyone played that new Rocksmith game? If it works, it would be a great alternative to those endless and mindless hours kids spend playing guitar hero. (Or more appropriately named - guitar zero LOL)

Guitar Hero was discontinued last February, due to rapidly declining sales
dating as far back as 2009.

An interesting product, but in my opinion totally unnecessary. Now if the fingerboard was a computer screen and the notes and chord positions appeared in time with the music, you would have a futuristic learning instrument. LOL Stickers on the fingerboard is nothing new. Considering the fretboard does not change, if you play in standard tuning, memorizing chords and scales makes a lot of sense. Many times, beginners in their rush to play their favorite songs just like their favorite artists, neglect the learning steps that makes actual understanding possible. I can't express enough, learning something correctly the first time saves a lot of time and prevents relearning from incorrect technique. Spend the money working with a good teacher. Enjoy.

That's why I posted the Axis' version (good for laughs). BTW: I memorized my share of chords back then in '80s ;-)

Well, with a bit reinforcement and a proper fretboard it could be converted into a real guitar ;-)

ps Its a joke, taking the piss out of the paper guitar products and the xbox games etc
