Hello Rocksmith fans!
Today’s DLC is a mixed bag from the 70’s-2000’s! There’s two huge (imo) surprises in store for you so let’s take a look at the lineup for Hit Singles IV!
From the 70s it’s a song that I personally predicted (A Train) it’s yet another Yacht Rock artist, Doobie Brothers with their hit Long Train A Running. Of course, you already knew the 80s are being covered by Loverboy’s Working For The Weekend. Next up is the 90s with another single from @Sublime! Yes, out of nowhere a sorely missing song from the five pack, Badfish off their 1992 debut album 40 oz. To Freedom! Finally the 00’s (2000s) feature the heavily requested and mysterious A Perfect Circle with one of their three singles off 2003’s Thirteenth Step, The Outsider.

Doobie brothers nice…the rest are ok. I would really love black water by the doobies. This works though.
Picked up APC. That’s all from this pack. It seems I usually just end up picking up one song with the “Hit Singles” packs.
It mite help to go in your audio settings and back off the gain a lil, or lower your neck pickup on the treble end just a tad, some things i did that worked for me.
Hopefully having a perfect circle in game opens some other doors to content.
I like the sound of Sublimes Badfish… Eye’ll pick that one up… will be the first of the new year for me…
Is anyone else having difficulty with note recognition on The Outsider? Short of changing strings, any suggestions around technique to help stop the strings from wandering?
I’m assuming that’s the problem – even though it sounds reasonably spot on to my ear, I can feel my fingers moving a bit more than they usually would with standard tuning.
I find tuning any offending strings ever so slightly flat really helps. Fretting and picking adds a bit of tension so the notes have a tendency to register sharp.
Once I figured this out, I’ve been able to downtune as far as C Standard with no real issues using cheap crappy strings on a cheap crappy guitar.
Thanks for the tip, makes sense – I’ll give it a go.
If you want a good recognition you must change to 12 strings (Heavy gauge strings) and use a Chromatic tuner better 😉
I know changing strings is the best way to go, but I’m looking for the easy way out. 😛
For me the easy way out was to not buy any songs tuned lower than D, lol.
I’m totally agree
I have medium Lights 11-50 and I was having the same issue at first. I noticed when I soften my strumming Rocksmith picked up the notes better. I think it is a combination of technique and how low your strings will go before they are too loose for C# down tune. Hope this helps.
solid pack but why the fuck did they chart a HARMONICA for the guitar on Long Train Running??
Why not?
Probably to make the song more fun to play, if it was the just the regular guitar we would just be playing that same riff over and over for 4 minutes.
If it’s a new tone that might be pretty cool to mess around with elsewhere… Anyone know if that’s the case…?
When I saw that in the preview, I thought “Sweet! They charted harmonica to guitar!”
😈
Perfect Circle – Fuck Yeah Team America!
😈
In my mind it means a Tool Song Pack must be just down the road | or not a matter of if, but when.
Awesome
This track does not at all signal Tool
Perfect Circle is a good sign.
This entire pack is actually pretty cool. Even Loverboy looks fun. I think for now, I’ll just be getting The Outsider. Maybe Two Weeks by ATR too, so I can have another song to play with it.
I just played through the pack, excellent! but the pack should be called hit teaser pack because I would buy dedicated packs from each band. Even Loverboy still has: Turn me loose, the kid is hot tonite, and Lovin’ every minute of it. Enough for a 3 pack. The doobies speak for themselves. Nowell’s guitar work is always great, and playing APC in C# sounds heavy and rich. Thanks again RS
MORE TOOL AND MORE APC PLEASE!
Why does APC music sound like imitation of tool if only Maynard is in the band? Imitation sincerest form of flattery or just ripping off your sound is more like it. Tool is the real deal and Adam Jones, Danny Carrey and Justin Chancellor are the architects
I used to think the same for many years before I gave APC a fair chance. Think of them as the antithesis to Tool. They are a good band on their own and have some solid guitar work that ventures outside of the mathematical and rigid stuff of Tool.
Agreed 100% Elliot
APC was my gateway to Tool. I always thought of Tool being too heavy for my tastes until APC’s first album eased me into the idea of giving Tool a decent run. And I’m really glad I did.
I might be the only one picking up the Loverboy track and skipping the rest…
same
That Loverboy song is among a collection of songs SNL has tagged in my mind–meaning I can’t hear the song without thinking of an SNL skit.
Others include:
(more cowbell) Don’t Fear the Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult
(Schmitz Gay) Beautiful Girls – VH
(Roxbury) What is Love – Haddaway
Good pack, I’ll pick all except a perfect circle (I haven’t Heavy gauge strings =()
WHAMMY!
then maybe Deftones 2. ZZ topp, Coheed and Cambria, alice in chains2. Alice in Chains 2 should have hit by now, Grind would be cool, and sea of sorrow would be a tough one to learn for most but very instructional in alt playing theory.
