Now, you can plug a dedicated USB microphone into your hardware (console or PC), point it at your acoustic guitar, and play without a Real Tone Cable. When you sign in to your platform's online network, a new free patch will download and add Microphone Mode to your copy of Rocksmith 2014 Edition Remastered. If you have an acoustic with a pickup in it (sometimes called an "acoustic-electric" or "electroacoustic" guitar, or a guitar fitted with a removable pickup that temporarily slides into the soundhole), the Real Tone Cable works just fine - but anybody with a traditional acoustic guitar hasn't been able to join in the fun. Even though there are plenty of songs in the library that prominently feature acoustic guitars (R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion," Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," Extreme's "More Than Words," Don McLean's "American Pie," Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler," and Eagle Eye Cherry's "Save Tonight" all come to mind), most players use electric guitars and basses when they play. And hey, there's also a reason so many bands went "unplugged" in the 90s - there's no substitute for the unique feeling and sound of an acoustic guitar. Millions of guitarists choose to play acoustic guitar, whether it be for stylistic reasons, genre reasons, even "that's the guitar my family already owns" reasons. Electric guitar is awesome - but it really only tells half the story.
