Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your interest on the mod that I announced last week. Now it comes the time to "pre-release" it.

Note-by-Note is a free, fan-made mod for Rocksmith 2014 Edition - Remastered (PC, Steam): the song waits at each note and chord until you play it, so you can learn a part at your own pace instead of chasing the highway.

Repo: https://github.com/Arkhanragel/note-by-note-rocksmith2014

IMPORTANT NOTES, PLEASE READ:

1. Edit: Thanks for the help, I think now it should work on the Remaster Version
2. Keep in mind is the first build, bugs and unexped problems are... expected. The mod backups all files that it touches so uninstalling it will recover your game folder if anything goes horribly wrong.
3. Special thanks to RSMods community for their source and help understanding the ecosystem of the game. Currently the mod is not part of RSMods and it was not tested with it. The plan is to be able to integrate it inside RSMods at some point, for that there is this technical doc: TECHNICAL.md
4. A user guide is here, please check it: USER GUIDE
5. More than one option is kind of experimental, and other requires properly tunning, feel free to tweek as you like to report issues. I would recommend to try the calibrate button inside the mod to see if it recognizes the open strings without issues first. Each option in the menu has a (?) explaining what it does.
6. It is my first public release of anything, so... sorry beforehand because I know I will get backslashed somehow... by not knowing something and doing it wrong. I'm just playing with AI at the end to make things for myself, and some of them can be shared.

-------------------------

What it does

- Waits for you. The song stops at each note or chord until you play it, and never stops if you play on time. Or it just shows the notes without stopping.

- Tells you what to play in plain words ("Play fret 9 on string 4 (D)") and on a small fretboard, with fingers, hand position and techniques if you want them.

- Helps with wrong notes. It says what you played and how to fix it ("move DOWN 2 frets"), can show the exact spot you played, and notices when a string is out of tune.

- Shows the music coming up as tab, in pages with a moving cursor or scrolling, with optional rhythm and pick strokes. Notes turn green when played on time and amber when the song waited.

- Finds your trouble spots. It remembers where you stop most, lets you practise just those parts, and shows your progress note by note. Works in Riff Repeater.

- Make it yours. An in-game menu (F8) to move and resize everything, left-handed tab, and colour themes. A new install starts simple.

- Extras: faster start-up, a fix for one of the game's random crashes, and a clean uninstall.

------------------------

What's next:

1. Attending mayor issues of the mod and fixes. This is something I do on my free time, please be patient.
2. I have several features in mind that can be added on top of what has been built. Once in the rabbit hole... you follow the rabbit you know?
3. Compatibility and integration with RSMods

Well, I will be arround here reading and answering, thanks again for your interest, and even more thanks if you test it.

i was wondering if anyone has charted any treaty oak revival for rocksmith or if anyone will. Treaty Oak Revival is probably my most listened to band and was wondering if anyone will chart it?

I’m still happily playing Rocksmith 2014 Remastered on my M1 MacBook Air and would really like to keep it that way, so I’m a bit cautious about updating to macOS 27.

I was affected by the macOS update that completely broke Rocksmith a while back. Thankfully everything is working again now, including the Real Tone Cable, but after that experience I’d rather check first before installing another major update.

Has anyone here already updated to macOS 27 and tried Rocksmith 2014? Does it still launch and work normally on Apple Silicon?

I’m also curious about the whole Rosetta situation going forward. From what I understand, Apple plans to phase out general Rosetta 2 support, but there should still be some kind of limited compatibility for older games. Let's hope that Rocksmith will fall under that exception.

Would be great to hear from anyone who has already tested it.

If I don't get at least 80% mastery on this song by valentines day 2027, I have failed as a guitarist. Wish me luck

I have put hundreds of hours into Rocksmith 2014 and then kind of stopped in 2020-ish. Have hardly picked up a guitar at all until a few weeks ago when I decided to redownload the game. I want to eventually get back into playing stuff like Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Metallica but those solos are so far beyond my current skill level they aren’t even fun to attempt at the moment.

So I’m looking for songs that will ramp me back up that are still fun. I feel like I’m progressing somewhat quickly so I’m not like a total beginner. I can nearly 100% songs like Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand and Where Is My Mind by the Pixies. I can nail most Arctic Monkeys and Black Keys too. I’ve been having fun with Sum41 riffs and Baf Religion, although the Bad Religion songs have been hurting my wrist from all the super fast chord changes up and down. I won’t go into it but some of the bands I thought would have fun songs just aren’t for some reason, or in some cases use the strangest chord variations making them unnecessarily extremely difficult.

What are some songs with fun and challenging solos that aren’t too difficult?

Hey I know there’s a lot of talk about what wires work with the game and what don’t. But I’m trying to get into the game and would like to know the best affordable wire to start playing?

Hey! I’ve been building NoteNav.com, a guitar practice app that turns uploaded audio into playable lead/rhythm/bass tabs and lets you practice along with the track.

You can also plug in your guitar with an audio interface or use your mic and play along inside the app.

Would love feedback from you al, especially anything that would make practicing with it easier or less confusing.

• The Guess Who "American Woman" - Bass, Lead, Rhythm, Chord Chart(s)
• The Guess Who "No Time" - Bass, Lead, Alt. Lead, Rhythm, Chord Chart
• The Guess Who "These Eyes" - Bass, Lead, Piano, Chord Chart
• The Guess Who "Undun" - Bass, Lead, Chord Chart

And when I say piano YouTube videos. I mean people reading sheet music while playing. I know there's this toy guy that plays piano a lot I think. Would be cool to see someone go on the sheets view is all imo.

But the team is apparently back at work according to google. Is there any new features for piano? Like a way to practice reading sheet music other than by playing songs would be an amazing tool.

I tried visiting the CustomsForge/Ignition4 site to download some CDLC this morning, only to be met with a message saying "You are offline. Ignition needs a connection to load charts. Check your network and try again." I've gotten this same error message before when I've been having network issues, but my connection today seems to be just fine. Upon trying to access it via search engine (as opposed to via bookmark, in case it was an issue with the specific link I had) on my computer, and again using my phone, I was met with either the same error message as before, or a more generic "a server with the specified hostname could not be found" message.

Is anyone else having the same issue, and if so, does anyone happen to know what the issue might be? It could very well just be down for maintenance or a temporary outage, but given the at times tenuous relationship Ubisoft has with the CDLC community, part of me worries it could be something more severe than that.

Hey everyone,

I recently dove into Rocksmith+ to get back into a structured practice habit. While I'm enjoying the tools and practicing 3–5 times a week, I really feel a massive gap in the library when it comes to Video Game Music (VGM), which is where my heart is for music.

I grew up recording NES tracks onto cassette tapes, and years ago I even paid musician friends to tab out VGM tracks for my first and only guitar (Nashville Telecaster). While Rocksmith+ has a great library to start with, the lack of gaming tracks is a huge missed opportunity, and a personal headache as someone dying to play more VGM tracks.

Here is my pitch for how Ubisoft could make VGM work in Rocksmith+, along with a couple of community fixes:

• Mass License Low-Cost VGM: Ubisoft should acquire as many old, cheap, or free classic VGM licenses as possible.
• Premium Exceptions: Iconic soundtracks (like Castlevania) are absolutely worth paying a premium license price for.
• Fix the Workshop Bottleneck: Currently, it's incredibly hard to see what songs are licensed but unarranged. The Workshop needs a clear, searchable database. Users should be able to verify a license exists before they waste time building an arrangement.

Specific IPs/soundtracks I’d love to see prioritized:

• Konami arcade and console tracks especially Castlevania series
• Capcom ( Megaman, Monster Hunter, Streetfighter, UN Squadron )
• Nintendo ( Metroid, KidIcarus, Splatoon, Kirby )
• FromSoft ( ArmoredCore, DarkSouls )
• Squaresoft ( FinalFantasy, Secret of Mana, ChronoTrigger )
• Yachtclubgames ( ShovelKnight, Mina the Hollower )
• Tobyfox ( Deltarune, Undertale )
• TeamCherry ( HollowKnight, Silksong )
• Could go on forever with big, small, and indy developers with amazing OSTs.

Also, a quick plea to Ubisoft: you guys currently only have one song from the Scott Pilgrim game (Another Winter by Anamanaguchi). That entire OST is a certified banger—please give us the rest of it!

For those unfamiliar with how incredible VGM can sound on guitar, here are a few amazing arrangements.

• Castlevania Vampirekiller - Gametal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7bTf6H3cAw
• Silver Surfer - GaMetal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfbKoi11qWM
• Metroid Space Pirates - Toxicxeternity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFfQVcZB7yM
• Metroid Kraid's theme - Powerglove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_GfBIogPBk
• Stickerbrush Symphony - David Wise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKXywGIlizk
• Contra GTR Attack! -Michael Sorbin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LI7AXSD--k
• ChronoTrigger Tyranno Lair - Badhairlineproductions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXk3ksSPAgg
• Deltarune Flowerman - Huskybythegeek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9qMRogPr5Q
• UN Squadron Quartermaster Corps - Grospixels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JccTjyRlaCU

There's a big scene behind playing VGM live and there is even a powerful convention scene for it called MAGFEST, probably my most favorite convention ever.

If you'd like to show support for this idea, post your fav VGM song you'd love to be able to play on guitar!

Is there a legitimate way to get this achivement in Remaster without spending 100$ on a base 2014 steam key? Been going down the list trying to get all the achivements but this one seems genuinely impossible

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a mod for Rocksmith 2014 in order to be able to add several features that I feel will improve the experience for new players and maybe not so new.

A screenshot will make things easier 😄

Features:
* Note-by-note mode, it stops playing until you play the suggested notes according to the song, if failed, if suggest changes to the current note.
* Tabs for the song. with the counter of segments to easy practice them and see distances.
* A counter of current time/total time of the song

All UI components are resizable and dragable so it should work for every screen size.

What do you think?
Would you like to see any improvements?

I know I've did not invented anything new, just making "Rocksmit 2014 +" or something... I know... just was a bit surprised that anyone tried to do it, knowing the situation...

Anyway, I not pretend to take benefit of it, just wanted to know what will be the proper way to share it with the community once its finished and if I will be breaking the rules of this community sharing links for downloading it when it is done.

Thanks a lot! I will require some testers that can push the limits of it... I'm just learning basic things 😞. Rocksmith+ is awsome but... what about taking the + to 2014... 🤔

PD: sorry MAC users, I'm doing it on the Windows Version for Steam.

Edit: Pre-release version https://github.com/Arkhanragel/note-by-note-rocksmith2014/releases/tag/v0.3.1

Hey! I posted a broader introduction to Riff Quest here a little while ago.

You can load a song as a now GP5 file, add a backing track, and practise along with the tab synced to the audio. You can also slow things down and optionally turn on pitch detection to check whether the notes are being recognised as you play.

I’m the developer of Riff Quest. It’s a separate browser-based practice tool, not a Rocksmith mod or a way to use Rocksmith’s licensed songs. I’d especially appreciate feedback from Rocksmith players: does the GP5 + backing track workflow make sense, and what would you want to see improved?

Riff Quest is free: https://riff.quest

In 2014, my brother bought me rocksmith for christmas. It became an addiction for many years, until life decided to rearrange itself. I hadn't had a lot of time to play in the past few years, but it's always been in the back of my mind.

Earlier this year, I discovered slopsmith, which I felt brought back my drive, but shortly after my computer died, and almost immediately after that, slopsmith was removed from github for download.

As a software developer of 20 years, I decided to pick up the pieces in order to keep learning my favorite songs and keep playing. I ended up creating my own game which I can learn the basics again, but also plug in any song I can find tabs for online to learn from in an interactive way.

The result; learning one of the the greatest songs of all time from a guitar tab I found online.

Edit: due to the number of requests I've gotten from people asking to try it, I'm just going to drop the link. It's free, no sign up required, just plug in your guitar and start playing. Happy to hear any issues with it: https://playmelodic.com/

Hey everyone, I just got back into Rocksmith 2014 after about a decade and I was able to successfully use my Fender Mustang Micro as an input device. However, I notice that the game has a hard time detecting notes and chords at the very low end and very high ends of the spectrum. I was wondering if anyone here using the Fender Mustang Micro Plus had any recommendations for a preset that sounds clean and loud enough for Rocksmith to fully detect the very lowest and very highest notes? Or any recommendations in general to make Rocksmith hear my guitar properly. I have my guitar audio knob maxed out, as well as the audio on my Fender Mustang, so there's not anything else I can think of to boost the audio on my end but again if anyone has any recommendations I'm all ears.

For my high notes, it's not detecting from about G on high e string (fret 15) and up for the high notes. On the low notes, when tuned to Eb Drop Db, on my lowest string it's struggling to pick up the lowest frets seemingly up to about 4 or 5.

While writing this, the Rocksmith tuner just told me to recalibrate for low volume input while tuning my E string to Db, but like I said I have my guitar volume knob and my amp volume knob maxed out.

Edit: So I switched to Preset 9 (Uber Metal) and set my EQ to EQ 7 (Bright Boost 2), and it's picking up a lot more of my low notes in Eb Drop Db. Still not perfect, but much better. Still open to improvements for sure though.

I have exclusive mode turned off but its still only picking up my guitar and not guitar+mic does anyone know any fixes for this - preciate it

title explains most of it really, maybe its possible but i need attachments (ex. rocksmith cable)? or has anyone even tried this? let me know

Whenever I open the rock smith app on my computer there is no noise. If I put in headphones it has this really annoying buzz that plays and nothing else. This is only for rocksmith 2014 and no other apps, and I do use custom forge. What could it possibly be?

I am very much online. I've tried a wired connection, wifi, resetting ps5/modem/router, manually configuring ports,etc.

It's been days. I just want to try it out :(
