Earlier this year we asked some questions via a survey to help shape the future of Rocksmith DLC. Once again, huge thanks to YOU and the entire Rocksmith community for sharing your thoughts with us. Thanks to your feedback, we’re offering more than just the true tunings for these songs.
Here is a list of arrangements for each song in the pack:
"It's Been Awhile"
Bass: Eb Drop Db
Lead (Main): Eb Drop Db
Lead (Alt.): Ab,Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb (True tuning)
Rhythm (Main): Eb Standard
Rhythm (Alt.): Ab,Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb (True tuning)
“So Far Away"
Bass: Eb Standard
Lead (Main): Eb,Ab,Db,Eb,Ab,Eb
Lead (Alt.): Ab,Db,Ab,Db,Eb,Ab (True tuning)
Rhythm: Eb Standard
Rhythm (Alt.): Ab,Db,Ab,Db,Eb,Ab (True tuning)
“Outside”
Bass: Db Standard
Lead (Main): Eb Drop Db
Lead (Alt.): Ab,Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb (True tuning)
Rhythm: Eb Standard
Each true tuning arrangement will allow you to play the songs in the Staind pack as the band originally intended. Additionally, you’ll have the option to learn each song without heavily downtuning your instrument to Ab. We’re offering the best of both worlds with this release. This approach is something we’re looking at doing more of in the future if the opportunity presents itself.
We definitely want to hear your feedback on this and want to encourage you to share your thoughts with us here, in the community hub, and on the official forums.
Enjoy the brand new Staind song pack!
