Ain't she a beaut?

I've been playing my Takami acoustic guitar for about 2 years now consistently. Safe to say that I'm not a complete novice, nor am I "good".  What few chords I can play has seen many fun times with friends singing songs, which is partly the reason I took up guitar in the first place. The other reason I took it up was to be able to do what this guy can  with his electric and classical Canon.  Of course I never got that far! BUT, maybe I can get there now with Rocksmith 2014 Edition.

There's also a version for Mac.

See, Rocksmith has challenged players/gamers to a 60-DAY CHALLENGE. 

        Play Rocksmith For 60 Days; Play Guitar For Life.

         Countless people gave up on their dreams of playing guitar because their experience was too frustrating and too time consuming.

         Now with advances in technology, there is a better, faster way to learn. With the Rocksmith                method, all it takes is just an hour a day for 60 days.

Who else can relate? Frustrating? Yes. Time consuming? Yes. And Rocksmith is supposed to be better and faster? Pretty big promise right?

So I couldn't help it.  The offer was very enticing, making my mouth salivate with the thought of being able to pull off a riff from the likes of Santana. Needless to say, without a second thought I forked over my money and am now on the road with Rocksmith.
