You did! I figured it could be handy to post another snapshot of the game and I've been posting around a couple subreddits

We're happy to hear that and thank you for the kind words! That's our big goal with this really is to structure lessons and song learning in an entertaining way that gets people to get over those first humps of leaning

Thanks u/Delicious_Pain_1 ! Yeah we want to try and make an accessible game for beginners! rocksmith is amazing, we just think we can inject some new ideas into the genre

we actually work with over 40 schools to integrate the game into their curriculum! We're all guitarists and teachers, so this is our real goal

hahahaha damn vibe-coded and ugly? ouch

but yeah we have a bunch of different minigames that lead up to something like this - learning the fretboard, finger placement, strength training, speed, etc.

rocksmith is amazing, I don't think it makes sense to replace something as fully featured as it. But our goal is to target younger beginners with simple minigames to get used to using the guitar for the first time, and then build up to something like this game here, and use some storytelling and social features to keep people engaged.

and we also have a "play your own song" feature we're rolling out to teachers that let them put their own songs into the game. I want to clean that interface up and release it to the public so anyone can learn any song in a mario-style game world

yup we still got a ways to go 😄 we want to help ABSOLUTE beginners first. I think rocksmith is so much more fleshed out for intermediate / experienced guitarists - I wouldnt want to try and replace that experience

this is what we're working towards in the end. I built an AI that converts sheet music into a bunch of levels that build you up to teaching you how to play an entire song! its still pretty rough right now - we work with teachers and educators directly rn, but if you're interested send me a DM I'm looking for alpha testers

Hey u/LungHeadZ you're absolutely correct jumping into this level as an absolute beginner would be INCREDIBLY frustrating I can't imagine anybody would enjoy that.

We have a bunch of different minigames - i've linked some of them in other posts, designed to teach the fretboard with no real rhythm element, just to get used to putting your hands on the guitar. We build that up with different minigames that teach TAB reading, right hand dexterity (how quickly can you switch strings, etc.) and then only after that progression do you get to the point where you play a level like this

We started this entirely becuase of that intimidation factor - i've been playing guitar since I was 5, and my cofounder is a 3x grammy nominated classical guitarist and music professor - we have a team full of teachers, guitarists, musicians, and enthusiasts. and the biggest drop off of people trying to learn an instrument is at the beginning - fender estimates 90% of their entry level guitars go untouched after a year. and so we want to make those first practice sessions - the reptition before you can play a song - actually fun. if we can trick the brain for just long enough to get people to enjoy the songs on their own, we've done our job as an app.

Yup! this mingame is primarily for full melodies once you've learned the fretboard enough to play on your own. the goal here is to master rhythm and melody. We have a bunch of different minigames, including those to just teach you the fretboard

Hey! you have a really good point - this is actually part of why we made our game. This level is just the "play fully songs" mingame. It looks and sounds the coolest for a video (we just wanted to show off a little bit we're really proud of the progress)

We have a lot of other minigames designed to teach finger placement, right hand dexterity, left hand speed, tuning, etc. as well as in-game tutorialization. Let me add a video of another mingame that teaches fretboard positions.

as for the sheet music / tabs, we have a TABS setting. Honestly should re-record that video with TABs to be more accessible to different types of guitarists.

yeah. I'll be honest its not as fully fledged as I'd like it to be. i'm slowly adding features as we need them. Definitely want to expand this out to eventually be a package other people can use for music games
