What I wouldn't give for the video of my high school band's appearance on a public access Halloween special in 1993 or '94. We're playing instrumental versions of Minor Threat songs on drums, bass, banjo and accordion. I only saw it once, the drummer's father ended up with the only copy of the tape and I haven't seen him in 20 years.

The first one came out in 2011 I guess. I have this one (2014) and its awesome. Theres a custom content community that gets shut down now and then where you can get tons of user created songs.

If this actually works it would probably be a lot more useful, but pitch to midi conversion from a polyphonic source never seems to work well, at any price point, so I'd say save up and do the standard hex pickup/converter setup (probably a Roland GK-whatever). It'll cost 6 or 7 times as much but it'll actually work.


Or try this, maybe it does an OK job:

I assume that Rocksmith is taking a lot of shortcuts for the note detection, because it's only got to handle a guitar and it's also got to differentiate between the same note on different strings and so on. But it's a learn-to-play-guitar app, not a make-new-music app. I wouldn't expect it to compete with a proper guitar->MIDI controller (nor is that something I'd want anyway).
