Greetings Rocksmith fans, and welcome to the final DLC Round-Up for 2014!

December was a HUGE month, despite only having three bands within it, it delivered 24 songs total from top requested artists, Bon Jovi, Rage Against The Machine, and of course The Jimi Hendrix Experience!

Before we dive into this month’s offerings, let’s take a look at last month’s poll:

Out of 360 votes:

  • The return of the Foo Fighters absolutely decimated the competition with 46% of the vote – 165 votes total!
  • in a respectable second place Tom Petty with 32% of the vote – 116 votes
  • The extremely popular but not so much in our community Bullet For My Valentine followed with 13% of the vote – 47 votes
  • and finally with their 3 pack plus Holy Diver rendition, is Killswitch Engage with 9% of the vote – 32 votes

Where you at “metal” fans?!

December was packed full of hits and great songs to play along with, of course this is my opinion but I think Know Your Enemy  (Rage Against The Machine) is one of the best songs released all year. No matter what music you are into there was definitely people on both Guitar and Bass rocking out to Bon Jovi, and nursing their sore fingers from the thumb chord assault of Jimi Hendrix.

What a great month to play four strings. With tracks such as Livin’ On A Prayer (Bon Jovi), Bombtrack (Rage Against The Machine), and If 6 Was 9 (The Jimi Hendrix Experience) there was no shortage of low frequency thumpin’ going on this month.

so fun!

How can we even begin to pick December’s best guitar track (especially since we don’t have any videos of Jimi to show you) whatever, let’s just point out RATM’s Know Your Enemy for Tom Morello’s incredible solo, and the must have ballad from Bon Jovi, Wanted, Dead or Alive. Also, every @JimiHendrix song, count it.

this guy is good

lovin’ that fake 12 string tone!

Gotta love that intro, and I suppose the riff as well

This month definitely had some interesting tunings (thanks Jimi), let’s just categorize them as TrueTunings…

Arrangement E Standard Drop D Drop C Eb Standard TrueTuning
Lead 12 3 X 5 4
Rhythm 11 3 X 5 4
Bass 10 4 1 4 4

 

Eb Standard coming up!

Which brings one question to everyone’s minds:

It’s been a great year of DLC and soon we will determine the best DLC of 2014! Don’t forget to vote.

Regular DLC resumes on January 6th, 2015 in North America, and January 13th, 2015 internationally!
