yea i know there are many games that do teach you things, but with this game its a little more obvious that you are learning.
the game is Rocksmith 2014, and it teaches you to play guitar!
all you have to do is plug your guitar into a spare usb slot via the proprietary cable and off you go!
yup, you heard that right - the game uses a REAL guitar, none of this plastic rubbish you get with games like rockband, with this you get real world experience of playing an instrument, not some plastic buttonfest made to look like the real thing.
pick your fav song from the list of 50 (many more available via DLC from steam at a couple of pounds each), set your experience level, tune up and you're good to go!
to start with you only have to play a small portion of the notes of each track, but as you get better the game increases in difficulty by adding more notes until before long you're playing along to the whole thing.
there is a lot not to like about the game, the main one for a lot of people is the proprietary cable that's required. this makes buying the game as a digital download a bit of a waste of time as it won't work without the cable, but the program does support both left and right handed players, lead guitar, rhythm and bass.
it even has a 2 player mode but to use this you have to buy a second cable (as well as have a second guitar) stand alone the cables are around £25 each
session mode, riff repeater, lessons - it has them all and is available on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC
its worth noting that the guitar cable works across all platforms so if you have an xbox copy and your friend has a PC/PS3 copy you can still enjoy 2 player on any of the 3 systems)
at £43 for a physical copy of the game with cable (price based on PC version - not including guitar) it won't break the bank and you can use any guitar with a standard 1/4 inch jack input.
so, if you have ever wanted to learn to play the guitar now is your chance!
