On Trying to Learn Guitar With Rocksmith 2014

Are you sure that the guitar you used was properly tuned? If you were playing the correct string but producing the wrong sound, it may have required tuning. I don't think the game can tell *why* the sound you're making is wrong, only that it is.

Does the game allow you to tune your guitar before loading it up? If it doesn't I think that is 1 fault they should of thought of especially for beginners.

Yes Pre-tune before every song played. ive got this game and its an awesome way to practise @Damian

Is it true that there is terrible lag on consoles, if your audio goes through the HDMI lead?

@Jimmer Indeed, I believe it is due to the fact of analog to digital conversion. It recommends sending audio out on analog cables, (red and white rca). Definitely worth it, I now have no lag whatsoever! :D

@Damian

It has a tuner built in and will ask you to tune the guitar when you first start, then anytime that the tuning changes for a specific song. Most songs are standard tuning so you do not have to re-tune very often.

@Jimmer

The lag is not bad on my PS3, there is a setting in the game that helps correct lag if you do experience it- after adjusting, mine is perfect through HDMI. The only way to avoid lag 100% is by using the analogue output

@Jimmer
hey Jimmer, yes HDMI cables cant process sound fast enough. running sound through HDMI cables will always give you delay (it is the cables, not the games fault. hehe) you just dont notice it as good when playing COD, watching tv etc
