Do those video games such as Rocksmith really teach people how to learn guitar? Are they effective?

I have been playing guitar a long time and I was just curious to see if these types of games are effective guitar teaching tools.


Answer
Edit: Woops, that'll teach me to reed a bit better ROFl. but still, Like I said, you want to stay away from such games for the most part, as a Learn or Teaching Tool. They are great to have a bita fun, but 9/10 times, all they do is build bad playing habits, or are simply not very effective.

I'd op away from any game that claims to "teach" you how to play guitar, more so for Rock ones, as Rock in general is not a very good style to learn for someone with little or not experience. If anything, learn country or blue grass, they are a tad hard to start out with as well, but they'll teach you everything you need to know. After that, it's just finding what you like the best. There ARE several "games" that can help you learn the basics, but their result vary widely from person to person. Here's a quick list of some of the more popular ones.

The best bet to learn ANY instrument though is to be taught by a real life living person; If you are still in school, see about joining the band (it's a long shot, but some school's allow Guitar), or if not, check your local community College (a possibility even if you are still in school).
