I sure do wish that there was an open source alternative to Rocksmith+ that would allow you to play tabs from Ultimate Guitar in a Rockband like presentation format, with scoring and learning tools like repetition and speed-up intervals. RS+ is great for quickly memorizing new riffs and songs, but when they discontinued RS2014, they cut over to a yearly subscription service, AND made it incompatible with the tens of thousands of user-notated songs created with the old API. Just a lot of back catalog stuff now. My 8yo niece is so disappointed she can’t use it learn Taylor Swift songs on the little Strat Mini I gifted her.

The previous version still works and has a decent collection of (user made) Taylor Swift songs, though, doesn't it? Why not just use that?

Try Soundslice (https://www.soundslice.com/ https://www.soundslice.com/), which has an speed training feature (https://www.soundslice.com/help/en/player/basic/286/speed-training/ https://www.soundslice.com/help/en/player/basic/286/speed-tr...). It's not gamified like Rocksmith, but it's got an excellent learning and practice interface — for _any_ music you throw at it. You can import tabs you find online in various formats, and we recently added a PDF scanning feature as well. There's also a built-in tab editor. Also, it works for sheet music (i.e., not just tabs), so you can use it with any instrument or voice that uses common western music notation. (I help make the site — happy to answer questions)

I have neither used Rocksmith nor my links, but I have found these on my guitar quest (not opensource). https://tonelib.net/jam-overview.html https://tonelib.net/jam-overview.html https://yousician.com/guitar https://yousician.com/guitar But I have been interested in something like https://github.com/PolyMeilex/Neothesia https://github.com/PolyMeilex/Neothesia for guitar.
