I'm starting this page on the blog as a place to list tips, tricks, quirks, and work-arounds as I find them while playing. No opining about what's good or bad. No whining about how old Rocksmith was better. Just useful stuff that I discover along the way consolidated onto one, easy-to-read page.
User Manual is buried
in the Tools/Options menu. Not helpful unless you are completely
new to your console. Mainly talks about very basic issues like controller
button mapping.
Turn off your XBox Kinect if you
have one. Apparently RS-2014 allows for the use of voice
commands through Kinect sensors, which might be easier than keeping an
XBox controller nearby while you play. But, background
noises from the game itself may be interpreted as voice commands causing the game to do weird, random things that you never told it to do.
Reverse the
order of the song list after sorting using the LB button on the XBox controller.
My left stick is hyper-sensitive when navigating
and selecting menu items. Get around this by using
the D-pad to scroll up and down among menu selections.
Somewhere I read that there are 7 Unlockable Songs on RS-2014. My songlist when I'm playing the game only shows 1 unlockable song. The official list of songs from the RS website actually shows 8.
The only way to start Riff Repeater is by going to Learn a Song from the Main Menu, starting the song, and then pressing the B (Back) button on your controller. Once you're in RR, there are 2-3 ways out. Go to the RR Pause Menu. From there you can Resume, Restart, or Exit Song. Exit Song is the option that actually Exits Riff Repeater. The others take you back to RR but at different places in your chosen song.
I'm a drummer who owns a guitar which I do not play well. This blog is a chronical of my guitar playing experience with Rocksmith. I mostly play a Michael Kelly Valor II with coil-split humbuckers and a Fender MIM Telecaster (and a few others). I play on XBox 360/Live using a wireless transmitter. My kids play, too (Fender Squier Strat and Washburn/Lyon LG115) and I'll cover some of their Rocksmith experiences if they can ever stay un-grounded long enough to use the XBox.
