In the options menu you can choose to invert the strings so that they present more in tablature form. The "note highway" will still be present, but the "red" E-string will be on the bottom. Also, there is a "lefty" option for people that need the fret board to be "backwards". As a side note, DR Strings actuall offers a "Rocksmith" set of strings that are red, yellow, blue, and orange for anyone that wishes to have their strings the same color as the in game presentation.

Yes, Rocksmith 2014 offers online DLC. All of the songs published for the original Rocksmith are playable in Rocksmith 2014, and Ubisoft continues to add new music every two weeks. As a result, there are nearly 300 additional songs to be purchased and played. Since I owned the original Rocksmith, when I initially set up my Rocksmith 2014 file (xbox 360) I was offered the opportunity to also import the 50 or so songs that were on the original Rocksmith for $10. As a result I have almost 120 songs available for playing and nearly 300 other songs to purchase if I so desire.

Rocksmith 2014 uses a real bass and not a cheap plastic peripheral. The "game" comes with a 1/4" to USB cable and you plug directly into your system or computer and play. While you are 100% correct that 'Guitar Hero' and 'Rock Band' offered nothing even close to real guitar play, the products today allow you to pick up your own personal bass and play along to some of the greatest music ever recorded note for note to the original score. For me, a beginner, it is frustrating, head pounding, guitar smashing, throw the tv out the window hard work. But I imagine that it could be tons of fun for someone that actually knows what they are doing!
