By doing things like taking out pixelated ducks in a Space Invaders-themed shooter and fighting off a zombie horde by playing the right chord, the Guitarcade teaches you muscle memory and trains your hands to better understand where they are on the guitar's fretboard. The Guitarcade is a collection of mini-games meant to teach you the basics like scales, chords, and harmonics through a few standard gaming conventions. For those looking for something a little more "game-like" than the rank-and-file note charts, Rocksmith presents the Guitarcade. Rocksmith's interface should feel immediately familiar to rhythm game fans. This all-or-nothing approach can be trying at times, especially if you just want to find footing in the game's setlist. The game's options allow for a blanket sweep that either sets every song to the highest achieved phrase level or the lowest achieved phrase level, but there's no in between.
It's possible to complete a song one moment, hop back in it to practice, only to have a whole new set of notes thrown your way. Rocksmith's intuitive difficulty shifting system does come with a caveat though you cannot change the difficulty yourself for each song. These mini-tutorials will teach you specific elements of guitar technique, and are good for training your fingers for the game's songlist. Technique Challenges are dynamically generated based on how you play and what the game sees as trouble areas for your playstyle. As you progress through the game's "Journey" mode (which, it should be noted, is sorely lacking in any actual Journey, namely "Don't Stop Believin'"), you'll come across a variety of unlocks, netting you new amps, tones and guitars for the game's built-in Amp mode (more on that later). Starting out is a pretty slow process, and the game will start you out with only a couple of single string notes and gradually increase the difficulty, throwing in more advanced moves, like hammer-ons, pull-offs, chords, bends, and barre chords as you play songs and become more comfortable. The game works on a dynamic difficulty curve, which grows with you as you play. Following this, the game will enter a tuning mode that will ensure that all six of your strings are in tune, and then you're all set to embark on your journey to rock stardom. Connecting your guitar is a snap, simply plug the USB end of the included cable to your Xbox and the audio jack end of it to your guitar. In a noted departure from preexisting guitar-driven rhythm games, Rocksmith has you using an actual guitar, and not just in that "actual guitar with some Xbox 360 guts thrown in" way, but any electric guitar with a 1/4" jack will work.
Therefore, I'm the prime market for Rocksmith someone who has never had the wherewithal to stick with playing the guitar, but has always had that lingering fire inside, wanting to eventually learn to play and become more than a daydreaming would-be rock star.
I spent my high school days clumsily banging around a Fender Strat snagged for 100 bucks at a pawn shop, looking up tabs online and learning simple chords, Incubus songs and the occasional Zepp riff, but for me, guitar playing never elevated from a light hobby to a skill.

Full disclosure: I'm not a very good guitarist.
