Upvoted. As a beginner guitarist, I find that Rocksmith’s approach doesn’t work well for learning songs. I prefer to turn up the difficulty to 100% and turn the tempo down to something I can play comfortably and then gradually increase the tempo. This has the drawback that the song sounds very different when played at 25%. It’d be nicer if they were more judicious in their choice of notes to play for their lower difficulty levels.

At the moment, I’m focussing on working on my timing by playing rhythm instead of lead guitar.
