RS2014 is a great stepping stone into guitar playing.
It helped me to achieve a level I could not reach for many years.
It's fun and helps you play along songs in no time.
It has a giant motivational factor.

But...
- it teaches awful technique, approximate rhythm, bad calibration of string holding and picking
- it teaches you to not care about finger positions, without string buzzing.

- it makes you lazy, to not remember the notes, to not remember the name of notes
- you will not be able to play a song without the scrolling notes.
- the regular display of notes are inverted tab notes
- many will find it difficult to read real tab notes, later on

- it does not display strum patterns, and recognition of notes is way too permissive.
- cutting notes off or letting them ring is not at all monitored.

The way it teaches you to play is completely amateurish and you will sound awful when you play acoustic songs without RS2014 dubbing, before an audience.

Ultimately it may hold you in its game system, preventing you to develop further as a guitarist.
To really master the instrument, you have to move forward and leave RS2014 behind.

Once you realize all the pleasure of really becoming a guitarist, of memorizing notes, of feeling the rhythm,
of playing notes and strings with different intensities and sustains, a whole new world opens.

Trying to go back to RS2014 will feel ridiculous.

It seems that the time has come. The game does not work anymore, there are no more patches, and I lost all the money I've spent on DLC. Good bye Rocksmith, we had some good time together.

cant play because cant update my real tone cable drivers
