I also tried to learn guitar once before, back in about 1993 for about 3-4 months. I look at the acoustic guitar hanging on my wall, and the electric guitar in the corner and remember the video game I tried out some ten years ago, but didn’t stick to.

I read and watch movies, but other than spending as much time with my kids and my wife as I can manage, my life is all translation. As you might imagine, it left a fairly one-track life.

Someone saw how popular the Guitar Hero video games were and decided to make a similar game that used a real guitar and make it into a tool to teach guitar.įor a very long time now, any time someone asked me what my hobbies were, I would say “translation.” That means I translate all day at my full-time in-house job, then come home and do freelance work, and occasionally – up until last summer – try my hand at translating a chapter from a book or a poem for fun. Rocksmith (fully: Rocksmith 2014 Remastered) is a video game.
