I figured to spark some discussion by asking what kind of projects and foci you are currently working on to improve your playing?

Rocksmith is really fun for playing songs with official backing tracks. As a learning tool, it's really limited. I have both Rocksmith 2014 and Rocksmith+. 2014, IMO, is the better of the two. The ability to mod 2014 and add custom songs gives you the ability to increase the library WAY farther than the stock DLC.

If you really want to get into it (and this is where I started having the most fun), check out Tonelib-Jam. You can write or deconstruct songs (even using RS2014 files) using the editor that gives you both tab and standard notation, plus it's got a "play along in 3D" mode that works just like Rocksmith does.

My go-to at this point for just cranking along with some songs is Tonelib-Jam plus whatever songs I feel like grabbing from customsforge.com
