Today, Ubisoft announced that Rocksmith+, a music-learning subscription service for acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, is now available on Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store for $14.99 for a 1-month subscription, $39.99 for a 3-month subscription, or $99.99 for a 12-month subscription. The subscription service will run on any computer with Windows 10, even a 10-year-old laptop, and will also be available on mobile later this year.
To date, the award-winning Rocksmith method has helped more than five million people learn how to play the guitar. Building upon 10 years of successful music teaching experience from a team of musicians, music educators, and video game developers at Ubisoft San Francisco, Rocksmith+ provides a fun and personalized experience for players of all skill levels.
An expanding library of more than 5,000 songs from chart-topping, indie, and up-and-coming artists, with more, added each week. Players will be able to learn how to play guitar through master recordings of their favorite songs and discover new music. Rocksmith+ features music across a variety of genres from countries all over the world.
A suite of practice tools with a tailored experience. For example, Rocksmith+ will dynamically adjust to players’ progress as they play, with the Adaptive Difficulty feature, which also introduces new notes and chords based on skill level; and if players want to practice a specific riff, they can select Riff Repeater to do so. These tools are designed to give guitar players control over their musical learning journey.
Note detection and real-time feedback without the need for any peripherals through the free Rocksmith+ Connect app, a phone-as-a-mic feature on iOS and Android. The app works with acoustic instruments or electric instruments played through an amp – or players can connect their electric instruments with the Rocksmith Real Tone cable, sold separately. Additionally, the Rocksmith+ Connect app also works as an accurate, professional-grade guitar tuner. For more information on the Rocksmith Connect app, please visit: rocksmith.com/tuner
Interactive lessons and practice recommendations that Rocksmith+ generates based on players’ goals, skill levels, and progress. In addition to learning and improving their mechanics, players have video lessons available to them ranging from proper technique, gear, instrument care, music appreciation, and more, through Rocksmith Discover.
Rocksmith+ is also collaborating with major music instrument partners Gibson, Epiphone, Kramer, Ibanez, Ernie Ball, Ernie Ball Music Man, Marshall, Orange, Mesa/Boogie, Roland, Boss, and Electro-Harmonix.
For returning Rocksmith players, Rocksmith+ will have a loyalty offer for Rocksmith 2014 owners and closed beta participants who purchase a Rocksmith+ subscription of 3 or 12 months. Those players will get bonus time in their first billing cycle — one month free for those who purchase a 3-month plan and three months free for those who purchase a 12-month plan.
