Pair your mobile device with your PC or console, and the on-board microphone can track your guitar – playing with no additional gear needed. This app also works if you want to rock out on an electric instrument with an amp. Rocksmith+ is also compatible with consoles and PC using the Rocksmith Real Tone Cable.

“Developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, who has provided guitar learning over the past 10 years, Rocksmith+ builds upon the Rocksmith method and practice tools, which have helped almost 5 million people learn how to play guitar*. Regardless of your skills, Rocksmith+ can help you level up. 95% of Rocksmith users improved their guitar skills through the Rocksmith method**. Rocksmith+ features a unique visual interface, improved state-of-the-art note detection, real-time feedback, and all-new personalized recommendations.

“New tools include the Rocksmith Tablature option for long-time guitarists, MIDI playback, playlists, and how-to videos. There’s even more. Continue your quest for knowledge with Rocksmith Discover, a free online resource with regularly added videos and articles detailing proper technique and form, music theory, guitar gear, instrument care, and more.
