Rocksmith+ (2022)

For the adult who grew up on video games and will practice for an hour if it looks like one. Ubisoft's Rocksmith+ has you play along to official recordings with real-time feedback, at a pace you can adjust until a song comes together. It works with any acoustic or electric: a phone can act as the microphone, or an electric plugs straight in with the Real Tone Cable. The song-chasing is brilliant for motivation and weak on fundamentals, so beginners get the most from its step-by-step lessons on holding the guitar and fretting notes before diving into the songs. A free trial lets you check it works with your setup.
