Are you ready for the experience? Will Jimi Hendrix be your vote for best DLC of December (or maybe even 2014). Let us know in the comments below.
Can anyone tell me how this works for next gen? I bought the pack this week but decided to get an X-Box One for Christmas. So, if I buy Rocksmith now, I have the pack twice.
Is it a code that I can sell? Maybe even to PlayStation 4-Users?
Nope
Am I the only one who bought the Hendrix Song Pack I and got the IV?
They are looking into that issue.
SCEE? Really? (just kidding, thanks!)
3 weeks later, still waiting for the right pack…
Today, Hendrix finally hit the Xbox One and, for the first time since I last caught caught myself in my zipper, I openly wept. Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rendition of “Little Wing” is the reason I picked up a guitar.To me, it is one of the finest instrumentals ever recorded, simple, elegant and full of passion. Imagine the joy I felt knowing that I was about to play a version of this wonderful piece of music. I did not weep as I played, I did not weep because my hands would not obey me. I wept when barely two minutes into the track, the credits rolled. The track didn’t end, it just faded out. I was so close… Please for the love of music, bring the Stevie Ray Vaughan version to Rocksmith. No one likes to see a grown man cry.
Couldn’t agree more. The SRV version is the best interpretation of that song hands down. I feel it’s even better than the original, but hey, that’s just me.
I really hope this opens the door for SRVs Little Wing.
That’s how it was recorded. I know, it’s very short… the live versions are better really. But it’s still awesome.
So this is the last DLC for 2014?
Yup, next dlc is January 6th, 2015
Jedi.
Steam currently has 50% off all singles again and 66% off the game (16.98USD) for the “Winter” Sale. 25% off packs.
Get in quick PC chosen ones.
Loving this pack.
Now im getting upset. I still cannot download any of my packs from 360 to one, only some individual songs from the packs. And now jimmi wont even appear in the store. Can anyone enloghten me?
how can I watch the guitar videos? it keeps saying me “this video is private’..
Looks like Audrey decided to take them down
oh ok.. thanks!
Do you think you’ll find someone to upload these videos so you can link them here?
Up to @elisoncrz but we’ll find some video previews otherwise.
I think someone (else) needs to stage a hunger strike in front of Ubisoft and Microsoft headquarters.
Who is this Jimi guy everyone keeps talking bout? He has the skill level of kindergartener playing a tambourine.
Worst RS dlc ever!
Just a bunch of power chords!
pass
He’s not bad on the Bass though
Nope, still not there.
Yup, just waiting on Xbox One. Sad…
So went to bed last night at 11pm with no pack central time. I haven’t bothered checking yet today, but now that I am unavailable it’s most likely there now.
What time does the UK PSN store update?

Missing “The Wind Cries Mary” as a Single
All singles comes to $36, all packs comes to $32, the 12-pack comes as $30, for all you penny-pinchers.
As for me? I’ll probably pick up a pack or two, as my Xbox Credit only has $20 in it as if now… I honestly can’t wait, I’m buying what I can NOW.
Got to agree with a few others. Would drop “If 6 was 9 ” and “Freedom” in favor of “Hey Joe” and “All Along the Watchtower”. Not sure how easy the legal issues would be for that Dylan song though.
Am I being greedy? I think it’s time for the children of Hendrix: Fruiscante (RHCP), Mayer, Garza (LLB), and the “It’s About Freakin Time HOF Inductee” SRV. Need to see their grandfathers as well, Buddy Guy, and some more Albert King.
I too was sad not to see All Along the Watchtower.
Darn!!! I can’t download this yet. Worried I might miss Christmas and New Years with the family cause I’m trying to learn Hendrix. Gee Ubisoft, thanks for danglin’ the carrot. 🙂
Soooo poo effffin pumped. Gg all!
All content is up on PSN US!
Jimmy Hendricks Experience AKA The lovely lads from Liverpool
None of them are though…
Still no access on XBOX One. Did I miss something?
Same.
Just got home and checked (almost 7pm now) and it’s not up. Way to go Ubi… I still have yet to even get the packs I bought on the 360 as well as the RS1 import. They’ve been dropping the ball for a while if you ask me.
Just showed up on PS4, hopefully be up on XB1 soon
Just leaving you a comment to make sure you know the DLC is up on XB1
Rippa Rita. I’m down for the lot. Keep ’em comin’ lads.
Next year; The other half of the top 40 and encore packs from your top sellers. (*ehem* and some more OZ artists wouldn’t hurt either…)
Don’t doubt that this is the best game ever. Those last holdouts should be clamouring to have their songs on here.
Eb437, Eb431 – that’s pretty weird. I was not aware that he would tune like this. He musta tuned ’em by ear or they just adjusted the speed of the recording slightly when they were producing his albums. Anyway, cool thing to know.
Its seems fitting that Hendrix will have the most tracks on a guitar simulator closely followed by the legend of Pat Smear of Foo Fighters
Actually Tom Morello’s tied with Hendrix. 7 RATM + 5 Audioslave = 12.
good catch forgot about Tom Morello in audioslave. I sort of think of Morello as an innovator which Hendrix certainly was in many ways. Now we need to get a few classic guitarists like Clapton,Page,Gilmore oh wait never mind that’s not happening
Actually Dave Grohl wins : 11 Foo Fighters + 1 Them Crooked Vulvures + 1 Queens of the Stone Age + 3 Nirvana = 16!
I think a pack like this is huge and critical to the success of the game. I want several songs but the others, not sure. I’ll end up buying the entire lot, no doubt. I would’ve appreciated the ability to watch the play videos on YouTube–I don’t use facespace or whatever.
You don’t have to use facebook as the videos will be embedded here.
Oh, sweet, I must’ve misread.
So the Hendrix DLC isn’t available on PS4 until the 17th? Not the 16th as advertised? How frustrating.
No, it says it will be available outside of North America on the 17th. That’s not really up to Ubisoft it’s up to Sony on when they update their marketplace.
Thanks Elliot, but I couldn’t find that info anywhere. Where did you find it?
DLC for PSN EU never comes out on Tuesday so it’s kind of assumed but I’ve seen it say “16th and 17th in a few different places” I guess it should have been here though…

Darkmax77, you are entitled to your opinion. Just know that it makes you sound like you do your homework with crayons. Everybody else, high five!
Is it available in the UK yet on PSN, seriously poor delays by Sony?
You’ll find out when the store updates on Wednesday
Thanks Elliot, fingers and toes crossed. Maybe RATM will appear one day.
The middle of January is a scenario, that you might as well prepare for.
That’s optimistic.
Would trade Freedom for Hey Joe or Spanish Castle Magic.
The Olympic White Strat comes out for this.
Don’t know if I will buy this DLC…I’m not at all a fan of Jimi Hendrix (I pretty much dislike him). And if I can’t upload videos on Youtube, it’ll be useless.
You will probably enjoy the basslines, also I’m sure you could upload the videos to YouTube, we just don’t want to risk it.
Because if I can’t show off on YouTube, then nothing is worth playing!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I will prepare the champagne for this late =)
Best dlc in the history of the intergalactic planetary alliance of rad-cool people! Strap it on and blast it, my homies!
Preparing for lift off.
