I have been playing for over twenty years but a lack of time and focused practice had seen me picking up the guitar less and less. I picked this up to give me a bit of inspiration to get back into guitar. Playing by ear is great 'n all, but tab' still very much has its place, in my opinion.īest of luck to those who bite the bullet. If I knew that tab even existed when I started, I'd have advanced a lot faster. It may be more logical to have the 6th string at the top, but it won't help your tab-reading exploits.

Lack of proper tableture is just not on, nor is defaulting with the 6th string at the top, considering this software is supposed to teach you the guitar. (blog shows various things that went wrong) I think it's important to note that getting this game will be a gamble for you, and I suspect you will very likely need to spent some time tweaking it in order to get it functional.Ģ. I'm on Windows 8.1, which, as I understand it, was quite a big gamble. People with Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 all have (or have had) various issues, but apparently not everyone has issues. Absolutely riddled with bugs frustrating as hell, as a result. I remember trying Guitar Hero World Tour on the PC, and was never able to play it, because the highway would judder and jitter too much.ġ. I was surprised when I saw that the highway is smooth. There are-frustrating-times when Guitarcade falls flat on its face, but I find there are much more times when it works very well.ģ.

The "Guitarcade" is fun and helpful, but only when it works. until it goes too fast for my eyes to keep up.Ģ. While I do think it's stupid not to include a standard tab interface, given that it's pretty important in the guitar world (learning new songs is a good way to learn different play-styles, techniques, scale-uses, etc) I still think the interface, or "highway", is good, because it gets you recognising the fret-numbers, and I must admit, now that I understand it more, I do find it comfortable to look at.

To save me type out a ton, and simply reiterating what I've already said on the blog, I'll give you guys a pro and con list:ġ.

If some time has passed, then you may wish to go straight to the "Notes" section, to easily find them. You can find the articles ("notes") on the Facebook page, "Techiebabble", or by using this link: I'll start by sharing a little project of mine, which is a 60-day blog-type-thing on my experience with Rocksmith, as an 11-year guitarist.
