welp finally got to Level 7 International Support Act.
Still having fun,I know I should do more minigames and stuff for general skills improvements but for the time I have to play practicing songs is enough for now.
Anyone know how many Levels there are in the progression?

DLC is region locked, so you'd have to use a US account to buy the DLC.qwerty2k said:

cool four more levels will take me a while since I'm at that point where progressing takes real improvment and seems to need me to get 70000 on each song or better

I've been casually learning strumming open chord songs for a couple years..my aspirations have been . " I want to be able to pull out the acoustic and play along or play solo songs when we're camping." I'm pretty much at that point..
This game has allowed me to reassess those aspirations, too learn lead and rhythm for more rock songs that help me move away from the first 4 frets of the guitar..
I'm an old fucker,so if your a young person I'm sure the learning will be way faster.
Just be open to doing poorly to start with and don't let external pressures stop you from trying.. there's a wonderful freedom in playing music as well as not letting others expectations dictate your pace.
Alot of my musician friends shake their heads at how analytical my learning process is..but that's cuz I've been a computer guy for 25years.
I try and listen to their advice and just accept..i'm gonna learn to play music differently then they did..and thats ok cuz in the end we're both loving the music.
huh, I think I'll have to pick this up once the price drops. I guess I'm intermediate in real life, but I think this could be useful for practicing and forcing myself to learn songs. And alsov forcing myself to play electric - probably 90% of my playing is acoustic. My electric is a Telecaster Thinline. Great song lists too. Although I'd like to see more Jonny Greenwood solos!

Here's a REALLY cheap starter guitar:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004T6M7DE/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I bought one instead of paying $40 for a pickup for my acoustic after I realized only about 14 frets on my acoustic are really usable. I'll return it if it's total garbage. I'm not really looking at it as anything more than a training tool.
I'm hoping to grab Rocksmith for $50 on BF.

Until then, youtube.com/warrenmusic. So good.genjiZERO said:
We should do a GAF leaderboard or something stating the levels we're currently at in the OP, just so everyone has a little bit more motivation in getting better and adding a little bit of fun competition as well.
I'm currently at lvl 6 and most songs now require me to get 40k plus. I've gotten 100k in 2 songs so far as well.(Go With The Flow and When I'm With You) Come at me bros. Although I'm still terrible at guitar I can definitely see a huge improvement from when I bought the game to now.
I'm comin for ya Bloodydrake!

Should be level 7 after my next concert. Unfortunately, I'm hitting songs I don't really like now. Slither. Blech.
I have been pleasantly surprised by songs I didn't know. We Share The Same Skies and Step Out of the Car are both really cool. I may have to get something by those bands.

I don't know how it would be for learning from scratch, but it's certainly great for learning riffs in an interactive way. It's one of the most enjoyable practice tools I've ever had, that's for sure.
Just got my import copy yesterday, spent a few hours playing with it and had a blast, it may not seem like the greatest setlist just looking at the list but they have picked some really great songs to play.
I will say though that not allowing you to manually adjust the speed when using the riff repeater and also giving you 5 lives to practice them before failing seems like an odd decision, I hope they can patch both of those issues.
For anyone that has imported it where do you buy your psn cards? I really want to get some of the DLC particularly Bodysnatchers, love that song.

ya i hit that Angela song in the 5th or 6th and fucking hate it.. ended up muting the volume to finish it. shitty shitty song.
I know you can customize the set-lists as they show up but I've been trying to give them all a fair shake and truthfully songs that on first listen I have no interest in have turned out to be fun to play.
A Part of me wants to pick just my favourites and master them but I figure I'll do that once I max out the game progress.
If you mean this one, it isn't a component cable. It is a composite cable.
I use that to connect my PS3 to my audio system, while my tv is connected via HDMI.
I'm not sure it will improve anything over HDMI, if the audio still comes out of your television.
Also, it will limit the resolution you can use to 576i, which is really bad (apparently, as I read here, in NTSC regions the limit would be even lower, 480i).
The best option is using HDMI to connect PS3 to your television, and at the same time that composite cable to connect PS3 to any kind of audio system. Even an old hi-fi system would do the job.
This is a good point. You can get pretty robust PS 2.1 speakers for a good price. Logitech have some reasonably prices offerings - I'm sure there's more like it.

I really hope so too! Now the riff repeater is almost unusable because of this.
I've bought a $20 PSN code from Play-Asia. Yes, it costs a lot ($28 or something).
My setup is exactly PS3->HDMI->TV and Rocksmith doesn't lag at all.
.... or I don't know how to measure lag... (newbie guitarist here)

I'm currently level 7. I just beat the 5,000,000+ in the tremolo game and am closing in on my 50,000,000 for scale runner. Some of the songs have gotten kind of meh to me so I've been playing the mini games a little bit. I will try every song once but, about 1/3 of them that's all I'm putting into them.
I need metal DLC.

Okay, I'm thinking I might just get a guitar and the game separate.
if I buy the game, all I need os a guitar, no other wires, right?
Can someone recommend me a solid guitar? Preferably from amazon? They never have the bundle in stock and I have a lot of amazon points begging to be used.

This Epiphone is nice.
If you get it, you either want to get a starter pack (picks, strap, case, etc) or you'll want to buy some picks and a strap. You really don't need the strap unless you plan on standing any but, I play 50/50 up and down so I have to have one.

$50 on Black Friday at Gamestop (PS3 version too), and *hopefully* at Gamestop.com to boot.

Just picked up the bundle version from best buy for 360.
I have always wanted to pick up the guitar and felt like I was wasting my time improving my skill on fake guitars rock band/guitar hero. I have no experience with any musical instrument so I know its going to be a challenge
The only issue I have had so far is when your doing good it will ramp up the difficulty by asking you to do things you haven't been taught by the game yet, then after the song it will suggest doing the challenge to learn said skill. It would be better if they forced you to do it before the song.
Any way I'm having a blast with it.

Level 8. The next three will be much harder, though. I may need DLC to make it :|
I'm pretty OK at this, then. But I can't get anywhere with the arcade games. The achievement scores are way, way higher than I have scored. It seemed like hardly anyone on the leaderboards was surpassing them either.

^^ Very cool.
Still having a hard time with this....for example,I can probably play in Bloom pretty well now without the game but if I play the game, the looking at the note coming down and going back and forth looking at the guitar is hard as hell for me...can't seem to get use to that so i'm not unlocking any Amp stuff...if I buy the DLC amp stuff will I be able to have/use all the amp sounds without advancing the songs?

I don't know if this has been answered yet but... I already have my guitar hooked up through my PC via a sound card (don't have room for an amp so I use Guitar Rig instead) and want to get Rocksmith for PC when it's released, will I absolutely need the USB adapter or will my current setup be fine? It's not really a big deal, but it'd be annoying to switch between my sound card and the adapter every time I want to play.

You get 50 pedals and all of the amps unlocked with it. I bought it because this girl was over at my house and wanted me to play some Ozzy and I hadn't unlocked an amp that would give me that sound yet...so to save face I quickly put in the $5 and got my sound I needed. Lame, I know but, oh well.

How could i have missed this game?
Will this work with a D-Tuned guitar?

Most songs require standard tuning, but some also have you do drop D. So you will have to adjust your E string depending on the song. Not a big deal, takes a few seconds.

A shame, i hoped you could auto transport the songs...since my main guitar is tuned one whole step down on all strings - and floyd rose systems are a bitch to tune.
Well, my old yamaha it is then.
