Rocksmith+ review
A song-led practice service with feedback, lessons, and tools for three instruments.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Rocksmith+ is a subscription music-learning service from Ubisoft for people learning guitar, bass, or piano. Its approach centers practice around licensed recordings, covers, sheet music, and song arrangements rather than a lesson-only curriculum. Learners can follow interactive video lessons, receive real-time performance feedback, and review played-song and note statistics in a progress dashboard. A free preview provides an entry point, while subscriptions expand access to the service's music-learning content.
The practice toolkit is the main reason to consider Rocksmith+. Riff Repeater supports focused work on selected passages, while Adaptive Difficulty adjusts the challenge as learners practice. Real-time tracking and feedback add performance guidance during play, and the combination of songs, arrangements, lessons, and statistics gives learners several ways to structure sessions. Progress can carry across supported devices, with Windows, iOS, and Android listed as platforms. The service is therefore a fit for learners who want practice tied to recognizable music and measurable activity rather than a strictly linear course.
Its subscription structure is straightforward but varies by plan. The 1 Month Subscription and 3 Month Subscription provide access to Rocksmith+ music-learning content. The 12-Month All-Access Plan includes all songs, lessons, and guitar, bass, and piano instruments. Availability, song libraries, pricing, and trial terms can vary by country and platform, so the experience may differ between storefronts. Rocksmith+ suits learners who value song-driven practice, feedback, and cross-platform progress. It is less suitable for anyone who needs offline access or prefers a fully standalone, non-subscription learning tool.
