Experience unlimited access to guitar learning
in Rocksmith+
Today at Ubisoft Forward, Ubisoft announced Rocksmith+, a new
subscription service that teaches players how to play guitar and
bass through their favorite songs. Building upon the award-winning
Rocksmith method, which has helped almost five million people learn
how to play guitar, Rocksmith+ will release Summer 2021 for Windows
PC exclusively through the Ubisoft Store.* Rocksmith+ will also
launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, Xbox One and
PlayStation®4 in Fall 2021. Rocksmith+ will be available on iOS and
Android devices at a later date.
Compatible with acoustic, electric, and bass guitars, Rocksmith+
will start with thousands of songs and grow to millions more in the
future, within genres spanning from rock, classic, indie,
alternative, hip-hop, pop, metal, country, Latin, R&B, and
more. At launch, Rocksmith+ will have a variety of authentic
arrangements that represent songs the way the artists originally
played them, and all songs in the library will be playable with
chord charts for players to hum and strum to.
Users can take advantage of an entire suite of new and improved
practice tools including Riff Repeater, wherein they can directly
practice specific riffs in their favorite songs; and Adaptive
Difficulty, wherein Rocksmith+ dynamically adjusts to a guitar
player’s skill level while they play. These tools are designed to
give guitar players control over their learning journey. Rocksmith+
will be available for $14.99 for a 1-month subscription, $39.99 for
a 3-month subscription, and $99.99 for a 12-month subscription.
Developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, the team behind Rocksmith®
that provided guitar learning for over 10 years, Rocksmith+ is the
only subscription service that offers interactive music learning
using official song masters and powerful real-time feedback.** 95%
of Rocksmith guitar players have improved their skills, and
Rocksmith+ builds on the proven method with new songs, learning
modes, and practice tools to be added for years to come.*** In
addition to improving their mechanics, users will also receive
access to free online videos to learn about proper technique, music
theory, gear, instrument care, and more.
In addition, users can play with an acoustic guitar or an
electric instrument and amp using the Rocksmith+ Connect mobile
app, which offers phone-as-mic technology. By pairing their mobile
device with their PC or console, the on-board microphone can track
their guitar – allowing them to play with no additional gear
needed. Rocksmith+ is also compatible with consoles using the
Rocksmith Real Tone Cable. For PC users, Rocksmith+ is compatible
using the Real Tone Cable or existing guitar interfaces on electric
and acoustic-electric instruments.**** Rocksmith+ is also partnered
with Gibson, Epiphone, Kramer, Ibanez, Ernie Ball, Ernie Ball Music
Man, Marshall, Orange, and Mesa/Boogie.
Rocksmith Workshop, a new user-generated content system that
allows users to add arrangements from a list of pre-licensed songs
to the library, will bring the music community to the heart of
Rocksmith+. For the first time, the Rocksmith community has more
control over adding the arrangements they want when they want. The
publicly accessible Rocksmith Workshop will let users create all
aspects of a song from the transcription to the tones. Community
arrangements are peer-reviewed for quality and available to all
users.
Rocksmith+ has world premiere learning tools that takes the
guesswork out of music mastery. But even the world’s premier music
learning software needs to be fine-tuned for the millions of songs
coming down the road. To test Rocksmith+ for free during its PC
closed beta, please visit rocksmith.com/beta.*****
