Has anyone had experience with Rocksmith 2014 Edition specifically for PC? Is it useful for people who already know many techniques and are there any major problems with it?
I'm looking to get it in the very near future so any info would be greatly appreciated ?

Would be interested in hearing too, mainly on the virtual band side with the intuitive drummer - is it any good?

To tell the truth I started playing guitar because of this game, got my Squier Bullet about a year ago. The game is in my opinion a very useful learning tool, and a good deal of fun. Don't expect it to teach you to become a master or anything like that, you must remember that it is a game. However having said that I think its the one tool thats kept me playing and learning, its really good for motivation and practice. The session mode is quite cool, and can help the learning of scales and improvisation, Im not quite good enough yet to get the full deal out of it yet. If you already play guitar and know whats going on its still really fun and useful, I've heard of people who played for years before getting Rocksmith and still learnt alot from it, but like I said in the beginning its a learning tool and a game, use it for practice and fun and not as your exclusive teacher and you will love it. There are little games that work different parts of your technique, Starchords obviously works your chords and scale racer your scales. With any version there is a little bit of lag and latency between guitar and speakers and video, but its worse if you use an HDMI to carry sound, route the sound to a sound system not your tv to avoid the sound latency. Also for the PC version go to smithyanvil.com, register and post in the welcome page and you will have access to hundreds of custom songs made by players. Also visit cs.rin.ru. So all in all I would say that even were you Steve Vai or Satriani himself I would recommend the game just for some fun.

My Mrs got me this for Christmas
What a hoot... song selection is cool too.. looking to download the maiden pack to learn and jam to. Like a garage band in a box
On the xbox there is no latency to speak of

Guido go check out smithy anvil, I'm pretty sure they've got some custom songs for Xbox too

I love it, have it on my ps3. I have all the dlc and previous rocksmith songs as well.
A problem is that there is a slight latency on the console version.it was perfect on the Mac version though so it could just be a console problem.

I got it yesterday and I have to say I'm impressed with it.
The main problem is that it is very different to tabs. But I have started to get used to it and it does work. The session mode also does work even if the built in guitar tones aren't that great(but they are usable) and you can actually jam with a virtual jam with your own settings.
On the pc there is no lag and it easy(and more fun than tabs) to learn new songs even for the more experienced guitar player.

When I played Rocksmith on the PS3 earlier this year there was no lag but the Scale Runner game wasn't registering the notes properly so I got sick of it because that was the whole reason I wanted to play it. Scales are pretty boring to learn.
It would be cool if you could buy tracks that you specifically want to play along with, like for R5 each.

I haven't tried the scale runner but if it's like that even with the latest update I'm going to be disappointed.
On steam you can buy songs for $2 each I think. There are also song packs for a specific artist. Also, it is possible to get custom songs quite easily on pc.

My misses got me Rocksmith 2014 for x max - and i am absolutely loving it! its great no matter what level you are at.
its very intuitive and kind of picks up areas where you battle and recommends video lessons and exercises.
The session mode is amazing I'm learning new styles and scales all the time. The cable jobbie that it comes with works great as an a/d converter for using your guitar with recording software and simulation stuff like amplitude or guitar rig as well.
i have the mac version and it runs flawlessly - its also great for experimenting with new tunings.
Was b*%$# to install but well worth it.highly recommended.

i've got the PC version and have found it to be loads of fun, haven't tried out the arcade minigames much but learning from the game a even though i can play ?

Cool game/ great tool, pity the dlc is rather pricey, but overall brilliant.

I fixed the latency problem on console. Send your audio to a proper audio system, it's perfect now.
The dlc's are great, I especially like you can all the songs from the first rocksmith as well. I lent my friends first rocksmith game and played it, loaded p the new rocksmith and all the songs are there now too ?

I just got this and tried it out for the first time today. It's taking some getting used to reading the 'upside down' fretboard. It's a lot of fun, and a great tool, however, the guitar tones (particularly the distorted ones) are pretty horrendous.
It sounds like there is no cab emulation (i.e. like a bunch of angry bees trapped in a tin can).

There is an option to switch the fretboard around to the "correct" way.
I quite like the game, but it doesn't work with my M-Audio interface, so I can only play with headphones at this point. >☹

Mine works with my presonus audiobox, but there is a bit of latency. I have been fiddling with the config file to try and remedy it but haven't managed to sort it out yet.

Guys go check out cs.rin.ru they have a way of working the game without the realtone cable, there is a no cable fix you will have to DL i believe and do some changes to the config file but its all explained there

I really wanna get this, maybe this month.
But I don't have a console and I DON'T want a PC version of the game. (I hate gaming on PCs)
So: Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 or PS4?
The only other games I'd play would be Mortal Kombat X and possibly driving games.
And, if it helps, I'm a Linux/Android guy. Dunno if that would affect Xbox VS Playstation.
Thanks for the tips! I have no idea what's good out there.

Mmmmm, not sure this helps as I'm not a gamer, but I somehow ended up with Rocksmith on both my PC and the PS3. Always use the PS3 for some reason even though it's not necessarily the most convenient.
MS vs Sony - on your own ?
