Short Game Rocksmith:
Rocksmith is something like Guitar Hero, only with a real guitar in his hand. The program will try a playfully to make the first steps in learning guitar tasty.
But this requires just a real guitar.
So I was absolutely not sure if playing guitar is right for me and if I'm really fun place.
So first gabs ne cheap electric guitar, because if at some point should end up in the fireplace times, wars still nen attempt "value".
And precisely for this electric guitar in my opinion, is also thought. - Eben just to try out.
- For Guitar -
She looks admittedly chic and you can play it like a normal guitar.
Pure sound you can not complain about the guitar as a beginner in my opinion.
Contrast processing is sone thing. Outwardly she does indeed a solid impression and will certainly not break apart too, but if you have the guitar first, some months to come, the first problems.
For me, the concrete terms manifests so that as the connection for the instrument cable now complete dropouts shows, if you do not sit absolutely quiet. The reason is that the cable absolutely loose or unplugged from me for some unknown reason at once in the phone jack, and constantly loses contact.
In addition, I have the guitar for some time sometimes several times a day new vote, which incredibly annoying in the long run.
According to my tuner addition varies the pitch of the strings when struck (what I believe to be able to confirm when listening very carefully). And although I have no comparison, I do not think that's normal.
-> This is now frustrating especially when playing / practicing with Rocksmith, because the game detects the attacks partly no longer correct.
In addition, I also have to change more often the strings. (Perhaps the fingerboard colors somehow off the strings?)
When playability's hapert imho also.
I was already in some guitar shops and my purely subjective impression is that the strings on more expensive guitars (> 150) much less pressure need to sound clean and can be played elsewhere much more pleasant.
Quite apart from the immense tonal distinction. (But that should be the beginners first matter)
Last is not to say that the tone controls are totally useless and have no effect on the sound.
Only the 5-way switch for pickup changed the sound noticeably, though not well.
- To the amplifier -
The thing is scrap. That's all there to actually not to say - try wirs anyway:
He rushes outrageous and the tone controls let him upon actuation crack (which is already an absolute alarm signal is for people who are even slightly familiar with sound engineering).
Furthermore, I would in any case advise against the tone controls only to look at, because the amplifier only completely clean sounds really good.
Any gain or overdrive setting makes the amplifiers, to say the very dramatic to say the acoustic injury. - Do not you remember the ^^
I no longer use the amplifier, but I also do not need, because Rocksmith features a built-in amplifier mode, which I can quite comfortably simulate all possible sounds (from pop to rock to metal almost everything).
Coupled with my relatively good stereo system works wonderfully.
If I just do not even have the PS3 on I practice even better than unreinforced me do to that thing.
- To rest, -
The gig bag is garbage that makes the guitar rather than protects broken when he goes broke during transport, so that the guitar from falling.
And besides, the thing smells so after some comical chemicals, or what I know now that I get angry that I have not thrown away the part immediately and instead now "contaminated" My closet is.
The enclosed Pleks and strings are basically really okay.
The strap on the other hand is again processed fairly inexpensive, and makes me carry more afraid (that my guitar on the foot falls), than good.
The instrument cable I now have to replace due to cable breakage.
- Conclusion -
Overall, I must say Despite the fact that the guitar has paid for my purposes.
I'm now sure that I want to stay tuned and get me now therefore matching Christmas treat a good guitar and a good amp for some extra cash.
But be careful!
This applies only specially to me, because I had the opportunity mainly by Rocksmith should get a good sound, despite the lousy overall package.
I'm not sure how I would be motivated now, if I had to play with the included amplifier ...
Furthermore, it was clear from the beginning that I would if I should stick with it anyway sooner rather than later define a reasonable guitar.
So whoever makes classically ran, probably. even with teachers and from the very beginning is fully committed to learning guitar (which to me just not the case) should be set up immediately a higher quality guitar aka Yamaha Pacifica or Ibanez Jumpstart for the 200/250.
Otherwise, I think it namely quite possible that one but then lose the motivation because of the bad sounding amplifier and the somewhat unpleasant playability ...
In this sense,
Beautiful Advent days)
