7-String Patch!!!
Is it so much to ask for a 7-string patch for the game? It would be shweet if we who use 7's could actually see that seventh string on the screen.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've noticed a few songs that are normally played on a 7.
Anyways, I'm hoping to get this pushed through as a patch and not a DLC.

Not enough people use the alternate tunings offered in the game either, but they're there.

Not all of them no.

However the use of alternate tunings is very common amongst guitar players.So im afraid your point is completely invalid.

Any way don't take it wrong. The yes it is is is more of a joke. I realise it probably doesn't come across like that though.

For the record personally I don't have anything against it though.

It doesn't come off as a joke. Even after you tell me it's a joke, I still can't see the joke.
Besides, what about the 5-string bass? That's a very popular intrument as well. I don't know how much you're into the world of instruments, but, from what I've seen the 7-string guitar and the 5-string bass are very popular and have a large following. I've met one or two in my area. I'm just starting to get into the 7's, myself. I don't understand quite understand why these intruments aren't more popular though.

This would also require re-releasing all of the DLC that it would apply to.

They're supporting the vast majority of guitar and bass players. Yes, 7 and 8 string guitars are gaining popularity, and 5 and 6 string basses are as well. But, adding yet more complexity to the game, and the production of DLC would raise the prices associated with them, decrease the volume of DLC, or both.

It would be nice if these were supported, but I can respect Ubisoft's decision to focus on the market where they are going to best support their business.

Personally I only use a six string at the moment still a novice player I would say, not a beginner but not really that good can play well enough to impress my friends and anyone else who can't play.. Anyways, played the orginal rocksmith alot. One of the biggest complaints was, we need more tuning options.

I do find it funny that now this is so many morre tuning options, ppl are complaing about that now. Omg I have to tune so much .

. Of course 5 string bass was another big complaint, and I think you would see that way sooner then 7 string guitar. But its not something I expect so see but hey who knows what the future holds. Rocksmith 2024 you never know.

It's really not that big of a deal. Even if they were to charge for such patches, it'd still be nice! Also, just because you CAN play in a different tuning to sate your low tuning needs, doesn't mean you should. You loose the versatillity that the 7-strings offer. It's the whole reason I switched to a 7 and now I really can't imagine going back. I can be as heavy as I want with my playing and if I want to solo I can still make my guitar squeel and scream.
The only real problem with 7's are that it requires a bit of a different tone set up that every single 6 that's out there in abundance.
It really is a shame that 7's aren't as common as they should be. In my experiences, 7 string guitars and 5 string bass guitars are far more fun to play.

They wouldnt make as much money on the DLC if they were to release songs for 7 string guitars. Look at that infogram or whatever it's called that Ubisoft announced a few days ago, it shows the process for selecting DLC

Rhythm gaming [aspiring] guitarists is already a niche they're undoubtedly barely able to make money from, and you're asking them to spend a crapload of time and money catering to an even smaller niche within that niche? No offense, but... don't waste your breath.

They need to make an Angel Vivaldi DLC as the first 7 string songs.

People with extra stringed guitars and basses are still free to play however they like. I frequently pick different postions/strings to play the notes to my preference, as I'm sure many others do. You don't need an upgrade or patch to do that.

Yes! That would be awsome!

True, but that's not always the case. Even if you hit the same note at the same octave on two different strings, it's going to sound and act different because of the difference in thickness.

Perhaps, but I don't think that affects the note recognition if that's what you're concerned about. It hasn't thus far with what I've done. I frequently change suggested strings/fingering, espectially on bass.

Something that disappoints me a little in RS is that you have to parrot the song as it is performed/transcribed. I kind of wish there was a "freestyle mode" in which you could improvise chords and solos, and still keep points if you remained in key. That's one reason I really don't care that much if I consistently get a 100% score, because it is frequently more fun to "make it your own". If all I ever do is play it exactly like the original recording (even if a ridiculously challenging goal in most cases), what real value is that? It's already been done.

It would be nice if they had a feature to teach you how to transpose songs to other parts of the fretboard. I can learn it on my own, but it might be fun to play with the songs in rocksmith and still get a score or be able to post it to youtube or something.
