I will be using Rocksmith and Justin guitar to learn and am looking for any and all advice. I don’t have an amp yet but I’m sure that’s fine.

    I highly recommend you learn some theory and get a teacher if possible. That will accelerate your ability to learn new songs and will help if you ever want to write your own. A Circle of fifths wheel is probably the easiest way to understand the basics of what’s going on. They are like $10 on amazon. Scales, arpeggios, licks, and patterns are also super useful. The more pattern recognition you can develop the more you can improve as a player. Unfortunately, effective practice is often much more boring than practicing the songs you love.

      I wouldn’t mind the theory but I wouldn’t be able to stick to lessons in any regular pattern (currently) so I plan on holding back on formal lessons. I am hoping I will benefit more having some frustration under my belt too.
