Introducing the next stage in the evolution of the guitar game. Rocksmith™, the first and only game where you can plug into any real guitar. When we say any guitar we mean any guitar. 
Whether it’s the guitar sitting in your attic, your cherished faithful steed, or the guitar you have yet to buy, Rocksmith lets you plug any guitar into your Xbox 360® or PlayStation®3 system.

Difficulty settings that adapt to your ability. 
You love a challenge, but hate being overwhelmed. With addicting gameplay that adapts to your personal skill level, you will automatically progress from single notes to complex chords without getting in over your head.
Lots of music. Lots of styles. 
One of the most satisfying moments for any guitar player is hearing yourself play your favorite song for the first time. Rocksmith has amassed an amazing library of songs from different music genres allowing players to experience that moment first hand.

Play songs instead of just learning them. 
You want to play new songs, but you don’t want to labor through tablature or cringe through poorly produced videos. No problem. Rocksmith will not only present you with new songs, but will also challenge you to step away from the notes on screen and play songs by memory.

We can’t reveal everything just yet, but the FAQ below will answer most of your current questions. Don’t see the answer you’re looking for? Click on over to Facebook and ask us directly.
Nothing compares to playing a real guitar. Except playing Rocksmith.
