Say what you will about Buffcorrell, but he has impeccable taste in songs and the ability to bring you down memory lane. His recent video is what reminded me of the song in the OP lol

Same. It was an absolute blast playing with my buddies. One of em is one of those dudes that is super musical and can learn basically any instrument he wants with relative ease. He learned Through Fire and the Flames the like, piano looking hold way. It was really something to watch

GH was a gateway drug to real guitars for me.

It was for a number of people. Unfortunately, GH/RB craze died out before Rocksmith really started to come on the scene... Otherwise, I feel that would have been the perfect transition. GH/RB, followed by Rocksmith, followed by just regular playing.

What did Rocksmith do differently? I'm guessing more buttons/strings?

Rocksmith you play with an actual guitar/bass. Plug in your own personal guitar/bass to play along using the actual fingerings/chords for the songs you are playing. But like Guitar Hero/Rock Band, it has various progression/difficulty levels (like maybe on the easier difficulties for a song you only play the root note of the chord instead of the full chord or you only play the notes without palm muting or something). It has mini games to teach you scales, chords, techniques like hammer-ons/pull-offs. It has a jam session mode where you can freestyle and then it fills in a backing track for you.

Personally, it's great. But I would say do actual Rocksmith and not Rocksmith+ (the new subscription-based game). It has better track selection, I feel. Also, it's one-and-done purchase instead of having to subscribe like Rocksmith+.

Rocksmith is really meant to teach you how to play real guitar but it uses the same style method of something like Guitar Hero/Rock Band. So, it's a pretty good transition piece. Unfortunately, it did not release until the craze dropped off, so it ended up really only appealing to a few people comparatively.

As an amateur guitarist who is maybe an "intermediate" skill level, Rocksmith was great for me. Heck, most of my PSN wishlist is filled with Rocksmith songs...

I went from GH, to real guitar, to Rocksmith, then back to real again, (although I guess Rocksmith technically was real guitar). Rocksmith was actually good, but it still felt like I was playing a game, and my time was better spent with a good teacher.

Superman is an eternal song.

Also I like looking back on music and remembering the era it was from. Just great nostalgia goggles

These games taught me that I'm one of the weirdos who prefers bass to guitar. Maybe its just because I'm musically inept, but I realized the bass is what I naturally focused on when listening to rock music.

I peaked at being able to finish all songs on Expert except the rip your face off ones like Buckethead and Through the Fire and Flames. I never got any better beyond that. I played thousands of hours of GH and RB games though, I think Rock Band 2 might have been my favorite overall. GH2 was awesome also.

Yeah I mean I have a knockoff Fender p-bass that I pretend to play sometimes. Would be nice to actually know how to play.

As well as a six string acoustic, a cheapo six string electric, and a banjo (can't remember brand name or models for these three, as the former two were hand-me-downs from my dad while the latter was a hand-me-down from my grandfather).

I also have a Yamaha keyboard that a buddy gave me, my old trumpet from elementary through high school, a couple harmonicas, and a Simmons SD300 electronic drum set. (And some cheapo condenser mic I bought for my PC set up and a small MIDI keyboard.)

Mind you, I can't claim to be any amazing musician. My hobbies are too wide, so I am more of a jack of all trades, master of none.

I've been wanting to get something with active pickups since my Les Paul and Strat are passive. The Schecter Hellraiser has the EMG pickups, looks pretty sweet, but still undecided.

My Schecter C1 Platinum has active pickups and I love it. The only thing I'm not a fan of with the active pickups is the 9-volt battery needed for them. I keep forgetting to take the battery out, which causes it to die within a few weeks or so. And you can't really use a rechargeable 9-volt most of the time because those aren't always exactly 9-volt.

Other than that, though, the sound is amazing. It's so pure sounding.
