Rocksmith. A new "computer game" whereby you plug an actual guitar into the consul and it teachs you how to play
I think this is an excellent idea, anyone have objections or other things that could be well taught i the this fashion? Driving maybe

Or, you could get an actual guitar and have YouTube teach you how to play.

you do use an actual guitar though then the chords come up as you are supposed to play them
think it sounds great

I remember there used to be something similar
called: books

yeah, but thi seems easier and easier = better

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 12:58, Reply)

Learning to play the guitar is pretty easy already.

There is a simple way to overcome this

surely the gays are capable of getting their hands into all sorts of places

Then having it plugged into an Xbox isn't going to help is it?
Fucking flid.

And while we're shunning advancements and technology, you could learn it by candle light.

Well you shouldn't use a guitar, just bang sticks together and sing.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:12, Reply)

I'm not shunning an advancement, I'm suggesting that it is not quite the advancement it is purported to be.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:13, Reply)

But it is, youtube and books can't react to what you're playing. That alone gives it a huge advantage.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:15, Reply)

I think my point is more that learning the guitar is pretty easy.
I'm not sure what this technology is adding to that.
How is your fiddling going? Are you still learning?
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:17, Reply)

But when you're talking about reacting to what you're playing
you mean "picking up on when you're fingering strings wrong", which you can hear. How's it going to help you?
( Kroney, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:18, Reply)

Well, presumably it can say "no, you did THIS when you should have done THIS"
"it's your third finger that's wrong, try again"

which would presumably be helpful.

Really though, if you can't see what you did wrong
when you hear that it's wrong, no amount of computers are going to help you learn.
( Kroney, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 13:29, Reply)

Unless you can hear it's wrong but can't work out what's right.
Or keep track of your progress in an understandable metric.

Driving.
You simulate driving but if you tailgate the person in front, or cut them up, or don't use your indicators, then your computer stabs you in the heart.

If you sit in the middle or outside and don't move over when someone comes up behind you, then you deserve all the tailgating that you get

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 12:55, Reply)

Unless you're actually overtaking.

In that situation both of you are ignorant cunts
and deserve the fiery death that undoubtedly awaits you.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 12:57, Reply)

are you one of those nervous drivers that gets scared around about the speed limitso end up overtaking really slowly?

I imagine he wears driving gloves
and reads Top Gear magazine.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 12 Nov 2012, 12:59, Reply)

I bet he is a member Institute of Advanced Motorists
and runs a 20 point check on his car before any major journey

And has one of those little 'institute of advanced driving' badges on the radiator.

No, I get told I drive too fast, generally
but driving too close for whatever speed you're doing is just asking for a crash.
