Her pick hand seems to be going only 1/2 speed at best. What's up with that?!?
Also, shut little sis up until she realizes there's more to it that just screaming into a pool noodle.
Still, up vote for good musical taste.

I've been into Rocksmith for about a year now, but I do the bass side. I'm not awesome or anything, but it definitely has improved my skills a LOT, and it is so much fun. Fully recommend Rocksmith 2014 for anyone who either plays guitar/bass OR who has ever thought about trying them.

I discovered this girl's YouTube channel along with Rocksmith -- she's really quite good at guitar parts and bass also. Kind of an ego blow to watch a kid that age shred way better than I can...

Naw I'm pretty sure heavy metal vocals are mostly about screaming into a pool noodle.

I'd have to disagree. I bought 2014 last year and it's a fun game, but as a learning tool it's very limited.

For a start, it just really REALLY needs a mode where you can read the tab for the part without playing it. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know any guitarist who plays from sight. You learn the part, then play it back from memory.

Interesting. I find that I learn MUCH better with Rocksmith than I do from a straight tab. I hate the difficulty levels; I'd rather just show ALL of the notes ALL of the time (although that is easily fixed by just selecting the whole song and turning up the difficulty to 100%), but riff repeater plus slowing a song down to 60% or so (depending on how tough the bits are) has been my new ideal way of learning more difficult songs.

But for bass at least, I find that I'm able to sight-read the majority of songs to 97%+ accuracy. Probably 9 out of 10 new songs that I try, even if I've never looked at a tab before, I can get that kind of accuracy with the Rocksmith note highway / tab hybrid.

I do agree that sometimes it would be nice to be able to pause and just show a pure tab, to have more time to prepare and anticipate what things are coming. I know of two things to assist with that:

1) I know that there is a program that somebody put together that can read Rocksmith .psarc files and automatically create a tab text file from the song's arrangements. I can't recall the name of it, but I know it exists -- I've seen people talking about it at www.customsforge.com, the community for creating custom Rocksmith DLC tracks. I'll do some searching and see if I can find the exact name of that program for you.

2) As an alternative to Rocksmith if you prefer reading tabs but like playing along with the recording, check out "Go Playalong", which you can use to sync a guitar pro or powertab format tab with an .mp3 or other audio file and do Rocksmith-like features like slowing down, etc. but with the cursor scrolling through a traditional text-based tab. I sometimes use this also, but overall I prefer Rocksmith now. Works quite a bit like GuitarPro, but the cursor scrolling through the song is more intelligent about keeping bars ahead of your current position in view, and most importantly it lets you sync up to an actual recording rather than just playing back MIDI.

I'm probably just stuck in my ways

And yeah, I think the difficulty levels are a bad way to learn a song.
I suppose my main issue with it is that I'm a decent enough guitarist that I can play almost all the riffs without too much trouble but I find the note highway an information overload for leads.
