Greetings, Rocksmith fans!
Looks like Rocksmith will be taking yet another trip back to that good old era of cherished classic rock, the 1960’s!
@UbiParadise posted the clue earlier today, let’s have a look-see:
It’s the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, California. Since it’s a GIF, the password HaightAshbury revealed this:
Each snippet is a scene from the movies Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Platoon, Supernatural, and The Game. Each scene has the song White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane playing in the background:
Jason confirms it’s a mix 3-pack of artists from the 1960’s, with a second hint coming sometime this weekend :-O
What could the other artists be? The authors at The Riff Repeater have a few ideas:
Elliott’s Pick: Simon & Garfunkel – Mrs. Robinson
Would be cool to get some 60’s Folk music from them in the game, and yes… I’d rather have this song than Sound of Silence.
Daniel’s Pick: The Guess Who – Undun
As a Clevelander (#allin216), two radio stations have been in regular rotation on the car radio for many years: Classic Rock 98.5 and 107.3 The Wave (the Cleveland Jazz Fusion/Smooth Jazz Station). As such, I am one major sucker for Jazz Fusion, and this popular track from 1969 by the Guess Who comes pretty darn close to fulfilling a dream I’ve had of finally having Jazz guitar on Rocksmith. Just listen to those chords and that bassline.
Oscar’s Pick: The Lovin’ Spoonful – Summer in the City

It’s no secret how big of a fan I am of The Lovin’ Spoonful, and this sweltering hot summer is the perfect time to bring arguably their most well-known song to the game. It’s a classic 60s rock song with some great tones and it’d be the perfect way to get one of the best groups ever in a rhythm game at last.
Ted’s Pick: Buffalo Springfield – For What It’s Worth
Stop look, what’s that sound everybody wants this song in now
