    The music aspect of both Rocksmith and Bandfuse has garnered mixed reviews, with Rocksmith praised for its extensive song library and innovative learning tools, while Bandfuse is noted for its use of traditional guitar tablature, making it more accessible for beginners. Users appreciate Bandfuse's ability to allow players to select difficulty levels and practice specific sections of songs, but criticize its limited song selection and lack of downloadable content. Overall, Rocksmith is favored for its comprehensive learning experience and song variety, while Bandfuse is seen as a solid choice for those looking to learn through tablature.

    • “The best feature of Bandfuse is it will let you play at the highest level right from the start so that you can see how the song is actually played note for note.”
    • “It teaches you at all different levels and helps you get the song down by running you through the different riffs from slow up to fast... it's a great learning tool.”
    • “Thanks to the usage of guitar tablature, Bandfuse: Rock Legends is a great way for experienced players to rock out to songs that they’ve always wanted to learn, and the multiplayer options make it a great party game.”
    • “As a game, this is bad; it is non-intuitive, its feedback is really poor, and choosing even the part of the song that you are playing is difficult.”
    • “I own the original Rocksmith, and it was interesting and engaging but also very frustrating because you could not see the entire song note for note, which really affects your fingering and rhythm.”
    • “With no DLC, the game is limited to the 55 songs on the disk.”
