In general I think the UI of Rocksmith needs a re-do. I use Rocksmith for two purposes: Gamified guitar karaoke, and practicing scales and timing in "Session Mode" with a nice little virtual band. You can play without an amp or any additional equipment other than the RealTone cable and a copy of Rocksmith. I think the main draw of Rocksmith is how little commitment it takes to get started playing guitar. Stick with the Realtone cable! How I use Rocksmith For the stage I am at in guitar, it is overkill and takes up more space than the real tone cable and I cannot use my razer headset with the 2i2. I regret the purchase of the Focusrite 2i2. Originally I had used the Rocksmith Real Tone cable. My current setup is a desktop PC, a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface, a SuperTight guitar tuner, and a Ibanez Ex1700. I do a mixture of using Ultimate Guitar tabs and Rocksmith for practicing these songs. 10 minutes pentatonic 4ths in all 5 positions ( playing two strings at a time while climbing and descending a scale in english ).5 minutes playing octaves and unisions, navingating the guitar using root shapes.

He is really nice and cool, and extremely professional and responsive. I highly recommend this book! I have found the process of constructing chords and scales in exercises from this book a great tool for solidifying things in my memory.
It will also bring you up to speed on some basic music theory: Root notes, scales, chords.

It is a series of short lessons and exercises for navigating the guitar fretboard. One book I have found especially helpful in my study of guitar is: "Guitar Fretboard Workbook" by Barrett Tagliarino. Steve Vai in "Vaideology" states: "If you are not interested in having a basic understanding of the academics of music, then throw this book away and move on." I think he means this sincerely: It is not necessary, especially at first. You can become proficient in guitar with 0 music theory. I have found my prior music theory knowledge a nice head-start but not useful for guitar technique.
However, I do have some background in music theory from playing in the high school band. Overall I think Rocksmith 2014 is a useful tool for guitar practice but falls short in many areas and cannot be your sole learning tool. I have been spending time in Rocksmith, a friend had seen me online, and inquired about my opinion of Rocksmith. One of my 2021 New Years resolutions is to play 300 hours of guitar.
