Hello! First off I want you to know that I have been playing guitar and bass for nearly forty years and I am a pretty good guitar player. I have over twenty guitars and five basses, and all of these instruments are of high quality.

The first and most important thing I want to inform the reader is that the guitar included in this package is very poor quality. A friend of mine bought this Rocksmith Guitar Bundle for their twelve year old son, and called me over to help them with the guitar because they could not keep it in tune. Well I worked on it and changed the strings and the guitar just would not stay in tune no matter what I did. I talked with a few other people who have bought the same item and they are having the same issues with the guitar. So the very first lesson any person needs to learn about playing the guitar is buying a good guitar, one that will stay in tune so you can start to learn to play. The guitar included in this bundle would not stay in tune for more then thirty seconds of playing before it went out of tune. Now I am not saying you need to go out and drop $3000 on a Gibson Les Paul, but plan on spending $500 to $600 on your first guitar. With that money you will be able to buy a good Epiphone or Fender guitar, that will stay in tune for you. Of course if you can afford to buy a really good guitar, please do, because you will find it easier to play and it will sound very nice.

As for the my review of the Rocksmith guitar game, I would give this a million stars if I could. It is by far one of the finest teaching tools for the guitar that I have ever seen. Like I said before above, I have been playing for forty years, and I was able to learn and improve my playing from this wonderful game. The game adjusts to your skill level and allows you to work on your weak areas. The only thing that I did not personally like about the game was the selection of songs and this is probably because of my age, but there are a few classic gems included.

So, I say do not buy the bundle with the guitar included because it will just frustrate you and hinder your learning. I do say buy buy buy this wonderful game and go buy a good guitar and enjoy!!!! Most important of all, learning to play the guitar or any instrument takes a lot of time and practice. Nothing good ever comes easy!

The game is good but the guitar is bad. The guitar may look all nice but it's really a cheaply made guitar mass produced for the game. After just 2 usage, less than 10 hours of playing, the nut supporting the output jack on this Epiphone Jr. came off as I unplugged the tone cable. What good is an electric guitar when the output jack is jacked up? Had I known the guitar would fail, I would have never purchase the guitar bundle and would have got the game with tone cable bundle instead. I would have saved about $100 by saying no to this guitar bundle. 5 stars for the game; 1 star for the guitar.

I have played the game three times since it arrived, and I dont ever want to put it down. Like all guys, I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar and now I am! I love how it adapts to how well I play and allows me to learn at my pace. Bottom line, get this game. Totally worth every penny!

My bro got me this game for Christmas. I didn't get the bundle that came with the guitar though because I didn't want him to spend too much money on me, so I decided to purchase a cheap guitar. Based on Amazon reviews, I decided to go with the Dean Vendetta XM Solid Body Electric Guitar, Mahogany Finish. It was less than $117 when I bought it, but I think it's even cheaper now.

The finish is more of a dark brown colored than a natural wood color, but it still looks, sounds, and feels, pretty good. I guess just purchasing the game does give you some options as to what guitar you want to pick up, so if you are deciding on the bundle, but don't like the guitar, just buy the game and shop around.

As for the game, it's pretty fun and addicting. I'm just a beginner, so I'm having a hard time figuring out if I have to use certain fingers for the string or fret. Since I just started, it seems that I can sort of do everything with one finger and move it around. This is probably not the best thing to do, but I'm sure there will be more lessons and tips to help me properly position my fingers. I'll update this review again as I get further into the game, but I have to say that playing a game with a real guitar is pretty awesome. I had an old electric guitar that I never played because I didn't even have a good foundation or lessons. At least now I feel that I'm getting some where. It's even better that it's a game because it just seems more fun to play with music and it feels that I'm actually learning something along the way.

*THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE GAME, NOT THE GUITAR. I ALREADY HAVE A GUITAR, SO I HAVEN'T TRIED THE BUNDLED ONE.*

Before getting into my review, here is an important tip:

AUDIO LAG!!! If you are experiencing audio lag, the problem is the HDMI cable. You need to run the audio from the RCA (red and white) cables through the tv, headphones, or an external stereo/surround sound system. Doing so will fix the annoying audio lag problem I'm sure most people will experience. So if you buy the game, don't forget about this tip!

Here is a little background about myself to support my experience playing the game:

I am a musician and I've played guitar for a number of years. However, I've always played basic rhythm guitar. I never got around to learning scales, solos, power chords, ect... only regular chords for rhythm.

Now for the game. I have only played it for about 2 hours so far, and I am really enjoying the experience. I'm a pretty busy person, and I often feel guilty when playing video games because even though I do enjoy playing, I feel like it eats up time I could use for more productive activities. Finally, I have a game that I don't have to feel bad about playing for hours on end! I am a worship leader at a church, so guitar is part of my job. Not only is this game fun to play, but I can see how it is going to help my abilities on guitar grow tremendously! The interface is similar to Rockband or Guitar Hero, but the developers did a superb job at modifying the familier interface to work well with a real guitar. It may feel awkward at first, but stick with it, and you will get it. After a few songs, I felt like I was playing Guitar Hero, and it was mind boggling to think I was playing a real guitar. Considering I already have experience playing, the game felt oversimplified starting out, but it was still worth playing to get a feel for the interface. It didn't take long for the game to start getting a little challenging. The game adjusts on the fly to how well you are playing, so don't worry what level player you are. If you have never played guitar before, it will keep things simple for you. If you are an expert on guitar, it may take a little longer, but it will adjust to your skill level. There is so much to say about the game, but I'm limited on time. I just wanted to get a quick review out for anyone considering the game so that you can know this is a game worth buying. If you have any desire to learn or improve on guitar, BUY THIS GAME!! If you have a hard time getting motivated to practice your guitar, BUY THIS GAME!!! If you loved the Rockband and Guitar Hero games, then BUY THIS GAME and quit waisting your time on a plastic toy!!!
