I bought it for PS a year or so ago and have really stuck with it. Call it a middle-aged bucket list thing, but I'm hooked.

I probably play an hour to an hour and a half a night 4-5 nights a week.

Totally hooked.

I admit that I spend way more time playing songs than the actual lessons/helping part, but my wife as a (sometimes unwilling) witness will admit, I've made quite a bit of progression in the past 15 months.

WHen I bought the game, I bought my first guitar - had never played a lick of guitar before in my life.

Now, I'm actually playing songs, and consistently hitting 70-85% of the notes accurately, and playing the full amount in many songs.

I've definitely hit 2-3 plateaus where I thought I wasnt going to get any better, but you do get past them, and when you do, it's a blast!

There's nothing more satisfying than when you hit a riff in a Boston song, or Green day,etc.....and you're like "hey...I'm actually doing this!"

The big fun is when you get it on Steam, you have access to modded songs that you can pop right into your DLC folder for Rocksmith (HELLO Van Halen, ACDC, etc....and all the other cool stuff Rocksmith doesnt offer).

I'd give credit to another planeteer who tipped me off on this, but I cant find the thread right now - but anyways, this link will get you started:

http://customsforge.com

The discovery of that link changed my life!

Just about anything you've ever wanted to play is there! Some is better quality than others, but most are really good.

You'll want to look for the songs that have 'DD'....which indicates that is has the same teaching formulas built in (so you dont get 100% of the notes right off the bat and get discouraged cause you cant play hot for teacher like Eddie!).

Hope you enjoy
