Rocksmith +: Learn to play guitar, now with a paid subscription
Rocksmith +
Everything gets better if you add a "+" to it. Ubisoft probably thought that too and announced Rocksmith +: Interactive Music Learning during Ubisoft Forward, the game manufacturer's digital show as part of E3 2021.The new part of the not necessarily traditional, but certainly unique series goes one slightly different path than before and is based on service games such as the in-house Just Dance or Guitar Hero: Live Tour. In other words, you don't buy a game than a service that you can use in the form of an app on the target platforms PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One and iOs / Android. Why there won't be a Switch version is also not entirely clear to us.
Rocksmith + will first be released for PC in the summer of 2021, the other versions will follow in the fall of the same year. You can already register for a PC-exclusive beta of the game.
What you absolutely need for this and for playing the title in general: a guitar or a bass. There are no plastic guitars here, instead the strings are played on real instruments. Unlike its predecessors, players are no longer excluded from acoustic guitars and basses. Due to the very precise app, according to the first trailer, which we have included here for you, your game is recognized and the audio cable that was previously required is no longer necessary. Of course, it can still be used optionally.

There is no price for the subscription service yet, as well as details about the model, so whether you can cancel at any time or not. Once completed, you should definitely expect a wide range of services. In addition to a huge song list, which is constantly being expanded, for example video tutorials, a community function and dozens of setting options in order to learn as effectively as possible and adapted to your own abilities. In practice, Rocksmith traditionally reminds you of Guitar Hero and Co., so you play the right notes at the right moment, but with a thousand times higher demands and the opportunity to actually learn something.
New here also the Rocksmith Workshop, where users can upload their own arrangements for the various songs and share them with the community.
Ubisoft Reveals Rocksmith™+, the Future of Interactive Music Learning
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today at Ubisoft Forward, Ubisoft announced Rocksmith+, a new subscription service that teaches players how to play guitar and bass through their favorite songs.

At launch, Rocksmith+ will have a variety of authentic arrangements that represent songs the way the artists originally played them, and all songs in the library will be playable with chord charts for players to hum and strum to.
Users can take advantage of an entire suite of new and improved practice tools including Riff Repeater, wherein they can directly practice specific riffs in their favorite songs; and Adaptive Difficulty, wherein Rocksmith+ dynamically adjusts to a guitar player’s skill level while they play.

Developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, the team behind Rocksmith® that provided guitar learning for over 10 years, Rocksmith+ is the only subscription service that offers interactive music learning using official song masters and powerful real-time feedback.** 95% of Rocksmith guitar players have improved their skills, and Rocksmith+ builds on the proven method with new songs, learning modes, and practice tools to be added for years to come.*** In addition to improving their mechanics, users will also receive access to free online videos to learn about proper technique, music theory, gear, instrument care, and more.
In addition, users can play with an acoustic guitar or an electric instrument and amp using the Rocksmith+ Connect mobile app, which offers phone-as-mic technology. By pairing their mobile device with their PC or console, the on-board microphone can track their guitar – allowing them to play with no additional gear needed. Rocksmith+ is also compatible with consoles using the Rocksmith Real Tone Cable. For PC users, Rocksmith+ is compatible using the Real Tone Cable or existing guitar interfaces on electric and acoustic-electric instruments.**** Rocksmith+ is also partnered with Gibson, Epiphone, Kramer, Ibanez, Ernie Ball, Ernie Ball Music Man, Marshall, Orange, and Mesa/Boogie.
Rocksmith Workshop, a new user-generated content system that allows users to add arrangements from a list of pre-licensed songs to the library, will bring the music community to the heart of Rocksmith+.

The publicly accessible Rocksmith Workshop will let users create all aspects of a song from the transcription to the tones. Community arrangements are peer-reviewed for quality and available to all users.
