Hello Rocksmith fans!
Happy New Year! We started off 2026 with a Mix Tape featuring a new artist (Bleachers), and returning ones Sam Barber, and The Black Keys. This drop also brought the return of the cover songs from The Killers, Radiohead, and Elton John.
🎉 NEW YEAR, NEW SKILLS! 🎸
Set a resolution you’ll actually want to keep: learn guitar, bass, or piano with songs that hit.
Start strong with the January Mixtape, featuring everything from indie vibes to iconic rock anthems:
