I am a beginner at guitar and recently bought this game. Does anyone know if there is a tutorial section on finger posturing?

Yes there is. I knew nothing when I started with the original Rocksmith and this version is much improved. In both they show you everything even down to the names of each part of the guitar. They also have lessons on basic stuff that'll be useful in many songs you play later. I highly recommend this. You'll see results ONLY if you put in time every week. Every day would be even better.

There is a whole section of tutorials in the software. Everything from the most basics, like how to put the strap on, hold the pick, where to strum, to many advanced techniques. All the lessons have practice pieces as well.

Probably not, just due to the fact that the Rocksmith titles have only been out a couple of years. What you may find is that Rocksmith gets you "up and running" relatively quickly thereby encouraging you to play more. That's where proficiency comes from. Practice.

Even with small hands your fingers will still hit the other strings.if you hold the guitar right and practice it takes a long time maybe 6 months to start off

Matt, It's a combinations. As you see in the picture on the right side of the instrument, you slide your thumb or fingers on what looks like a grate. As you slide them it give the impression of a harp. If you tap your fingers in various places, it sounds like single strings but I don't what string name it is. The buttons on the left side are the chords, major, minor, 7th. It also come with a Melody keyboard overlay which I haven't learned as of yet. I don't know what bend notes/chords are but I have played to chords together if they were close enough. I still have a lot to learn. It does so much. I think you'll enjoy it, too.

You can use your keyboard. I use it too, but it's not comfortable. When you want to do a bigger combo, it is impossibble to make it succesfull. So I recommend controller to play.

I'm not a sophisticated gaming user, but I have a fingertip grip and it works OK for me. Note that the side buttons (on the left side of the mouse) are probably better placed for a palm grip. As with any mouse, you're best off trying it in a store before buying if at all possible.

You need much more control of your fingers. The keys are super sensitive. One thing I really enjoy is how easy it is to change octaves.

Not really. I press the left button the my thumb, which is the strongest finger in the hand. I feel it's alright. And for the ball, I use the index and middle fingers to control, so you don't have to change your position at all.

I gave it to my son as a gift. I am an experienced player. I like the action and sound. Very easy to play. Great for a beginner.

I bought this game and also don't understand how to move around the board. I figure you go clockwise after starting the game but how do you know where or when you can switch to the other ring or path?

When I bought it for my girlfriend and tried it out, it wasn't tunned up... But tunning it up is easy. Get your mobile and go to the playstore or apple store and download the app called "Guitar Tuna"... It's a great app to tune your guitar and it teaches you a Lot of chords on the guitar. Hope this helps. God bless

Yes. I have very large hands and short fat fingers, and this is one of the easiest and comfortable guitars to play, that I have ever owned, and I've owned quite a few. I highly recommend this one. A lot of guitar for the money.

I have not tried any of the books, still enjoy learning the "sweet" spot to strike my tuning fork and I place around my ears on both sides, then will try on a specific spot, like my knee. Love the sound and feel.

I have been playing one at the local Sam Ash store, and intend to buy one - I love it! (Even with the factory strings everyone complains about ... I'm eager to see how it sounds with fluorocarbon strings.) Anyway, the store model there has no pick guard on it. I understood from the many review I read that it does *not* generally come with the pick guard installed. Personally, I think it looks great without it. I plan to buy one without and keep it that way.

Yes! There is a "Newbie" difficulty setting. In the menu, the main character is wearing a baby bonnett and sucking a pacifier ;-) You'll like this game and as you get better, play it on the next higher difficulty. Have fun!!

There is an excellent website, micuatro.com that teaches you how to play and has lots of songs. Check it out!

I bought it as a gift, so I can't speak from lots of experience but it didn't seem to bad for a fingertip grip when I tried it out. I didn't really know where to put my thumb at first but it's not that much of a change in style for me to complain about it.
