Rocksmith mis-recognizing fret pressed | Forums

[KilaRoach]

Love it! got one problem so far. On some of the challenges and some phrases the "game" wrongly requignizes the fret being pressed. Meaning that the note is on the third fret and I press on the third fret but it tells me to move to the second fret. once i realize that this is happening for any certian note I then adjust and continue to press the wrong fret and it gives credit for being accurate. so I continue to press the 2nd fret when the chart clearly is asking for the 3rd fret. hope this can be corrected soon.

Yes, I noticed this too. It's a bit touchy and I may hit the right fret a couple times till it knows how to see the right note.

Also, it may be an issues of where you exactly put your finger between the frets.

This morning I had that problem on the duck mini-game...I am going to try retuning it tonight and see if the problem is still there...

Yeah I'd imagine this is a guitar and technique specific issue.

Since the game recognizes exact sounds if your strings are new or old or you are pressing it or bending it, it might pickup the wrong impression.

This is usually caused from the Intonation being off on the guitar. It's recommended to take it to a guitar shop and ask them to "setup" the guitar for you to correct this.

Hi Stupid question:
How do I know if the Intonation is Off or On?

Thx

If you can't tell by "hearing" you'd probably just have to bring it in for a tune up.


Here's a video that might explain it.

to tell if intonation is off or on

tune as normal, then use one string and test all the WHOLE notes, just cause of the tuner in the game may be limited, to make sure each Whole note is still ringing that note

for instance, open top string, thickest is in E. Tune it. Then on the same string, go to the 12th fret and play that note, it should also be an E with no additional tuning

same can be used for all strings

Got it thank you. that is really apreciated.

have fun

if you are having trouble you most likely have bad intonation on your guitar and string heights need to be adjusted. I just got my string height exactly where it needs to be about six weeks ago and I have no problems with it
