Howdy, all you Rocksmith folk!
I hope y’all ready’in yer ten-gallon hats and practicin’ yer country lingos n’ accents, it’s time for some good ol’ classic country on Rocksmith!
My own terrible accent imitation aside, I can tell a good many people will be excited by this news. Let’s have a look at Dan’s clue from Friday:
Which decodes to…
This also sets a new record for music games: This is officially the oldest song to ever be included on a music/rhythm video game and the first song recorded in the 1940s to do so as well.
So what else could we be seeing this Tuesday? I’ve got a couple ideas, myself:
What country music pack would be complete without the Man in Black himself? Folsom Prison Blues would give us a chance to learn Cash’s signature “Boom Chicka Boom” strumming technique as well.
How about the first lady of country music to round out the pack? This song also has a nice, smooth reverb-heavy tone for any tone-hunters who use session mode a lot.
So what do you think, Rocksmith fans? Does this pack make you hollerin’ and hootin’ fer more country, or is this one country road you’re steering clear from? Let us know in the comments!
Once again, my dearest apologies for my inexperience with the southern accent.
Brooks and Dunn’s My Maria would be great. I LOVE the sound of that one song. Mr. Blue remake by Garth Brooks is nice too. Not a big country fan but there are some incredible sounds there.
Amen. My maria my favorite country song. I’m also hoping we get dueling banjos, ramblin man & So Paso.
Don’t really like country, but I will be picking this up. Not only is it nice to know a couple of songs in case of a campfire request, but it also pays to look outside of your favorite genre for inspiration. Zakk Wylde lists Albert Lee as someone who’s inspired him. If you don’t know who he is, you should!
I would love some Johnny Cash, and I have to buy some of the pack to get the oldest song. ; )
Kenny Rogers: Coward of the County. Might be a bit boring on guitar but is a great country song. Oh and Hotel California ( I consider it country) would be awesome. Don’t get yer hopes up though.
Well, the eagles’ wikipedia page classifies them as “Country rock”. But the eagles are almost impossible to license.
If they were to go more modern I think Camouflage by Brad Paisley would be fun.
Wow, some country. Glad to see it, even though I’m not a big fan. I’ve heard more of Jr’s stuff too as opposed to Sr. Will have to see what comes out.
On another note for all the haters, Ubisoft maybe now is the time to offend all the complainers out there and release some reggae or gospel DLC.
…or progressive.I just requested a bunch of “Yes” in memory of Chris Squire.
Amen…Yes would be sick as a dlc pack
Just thought about something. Is there any Jazz on Rocksmith? George Benson comes to mind.
Glad to see someone’s in the prog with me. 😀
Yes, (moar) Rush, King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, Dream Theater, Etc.
Or we could just get a prog rock singles pack…
I’m not a country fan, and will not be partaking of this pack, but I can appreciate the fact that a lot of people have been asking for this, so I’m glad that they’re happy. It shows that UbisoftSF does listen to what people want and tries their best to give it to them.
I can also appreciate the different techniques that can be taught by this genre of music. A lot of country licks can be pretty difficult.
Meow…… Zzzzzzz
So you liked Tommy the Cat after all…
