It's really not the worst idea to turn Rocksmith into a educational subscription service on paper. Guitars are a pretty accessible instrument and the previous Rocksmith titles do a good job warming new players up to the basics of what it means to shred. Having a subscription service might open up opportunity for the dev team to unload more techniques and lessons with a bigger array of songs and features.
In reality, it's execution is...pathetic? Yeah, pathetic is the right word. This motherfucker (the software) barely works. It's laggy/buggy as shit. Not many tracks on offer inspire me to want to learn them and improve my general ability. The music being uninspiring in a music education game is not...ideal
If you want functional software, literally pirate Rocksmith 2010 or 2014 and learn how to import custom tracks. The modded content will respect your time and money by offering more fun and challenge than a billion dollar corporation is apparently capable of doing.

it's tough to review this """game""" since its fundamental proposal is to be an ever-evolving platform, so, everything I'm writing (2022/14/09) could not be true in a couple of months.
I'm a massive fan of the Rocksmith series of ""games"" (calling it a game it's very debatable, but let's not worry about this). The main idea of Rocksmith+ seems to be the right path for this sort of experience, a way they could keep updating the game, adding new songs, and adding new tutorials, without having to do a whole another $60 release.
However, in the current state, the game is VERY lackluster. They advertise as having more than 9000 songs, but the majority of them come in the form of Chord Charts or Bass Charts, which is basically showing the chords for the song, something you can EASILY find on the internet for free. The main value of Rocksmith as a whole is when the songs are arranged to match exactly what's being played, and currently, in the game, there are LESS THAN 1000 songs like that.
Rocksmith+ has a LOT of potential with the Live Service model to constantly improve the song list and also with community-created arrangements, but looking at the list of songs with real arrangments done, it seems like they're doing it in the wrong way.
