DLC needed to have a good time?

[fprintf]

Is the DLC required to have a good time and get value out of the game for a decent length of time? I've bought the game but wondering if I *need* to buy any DLCs to get beyond beginner/novice.

the dlc already included can help a long way already. Even if it might be not your music taste, (you can always buy others later in another sale). It worked for me for having a good time.

In short, just also try the practice part of the game. And start songs with for instance riff repeater to build up.
Try to focus on a few songs in the beginning, instead of doing many and learn little.
I found that some songs i really liked were pretty tough to play......

And if you have enough of the same old songs, which are already in Rocksmith, then you can search through all the DLCs and maybe buy a few different song in the winter sales, which is coming in the next few days/weeks.

Ok thanks everyone. I'll stick with the vanilla game for now and hopefully will take many hours before I get bored of the included songs.

If you buy any DLC make it smashing pumpkins cherub rock. Also do some research. There's a vast treasure trove of unofficial songs to be found.

I remember when starting this game I didn't think it fell to short. I believe it are about 50 songs? And honestly, sometimes it is nice to not have so much choice. Though when the times come (that you have too much DLC) Rocksmith has a nice way of taking care of that with playlists (TAB if I remember right). Also even though I didn't think it at first when hearing, but I ended up liking almost every song. Especially playing them.

Anyway, everything already has been said. And sale comes again indeed. A fun thing to do than is buy Rocksmith (the 1st), and also the CD-Import key, or whatever it is called (you buy it, it is official Rocksmith 2014 DLC). And then you get (almost) all the songs of Rocksmith 1 in your Rocksmith 2014!

And as a bonus Rocksmith (1) is pretty fun to play as well. I thought it wasn't as polished as playing in Rocksmith 2014. But it has some fun futures 2014 lacks.

This is your next best step; you will get around 50 more songs for less than 20 bucks. Just buy the original Rocksmith when it is on sale and the "import tool" for another 10 bucks, which lets you transfer the licensed songs over to Rocksmith 2014. Then you will get the songs listed on the three pages found here:

I have to be careful what I say because of any greedy moderators listening in. If you were to purchase the song 'cherub rock' this may or may not unlock the ability to play other songs that could be made by people not on the steam store. I'm sure if you do a google search you can find out what I mean.

from what I read any official DLC will do the CDLC unlock, I think they already know and it's intended to be that way.
