This is the maybe the fifth time in my life (I'm 35) I have tried to learn guitar. After dusting off the Strat that has sat in a closet for 3 years, I decided to give Rocksmith a go.

Compared to book / cd / dvd / youtube/ app lessons, which I have all tried, this is the most fun I've ever had playing guitar. There is a wide variety of paths you can take, and with the session mode and song learning it is hard to get bored.

The gamification of guitar playing is really effective. I especially like the flexibility of the Riff Repeater. Slow it down, simplify it, repeat until you can get the riff just right - then advance to the next iteration of difficulty for that riff.

One day I will pay for real personal coaching. I feel that Rocksmith will at least get me to the level where personal lessons feel worthwhile.
