Rocksmith might have never taken off like Rock Band or Guitar Hero but its goal was laudable: being able to teach guitar in a fun and easy to use package. The game went on multiple iterations but never really found its audience despite a huge catalog of songs.

Curiously enough, Ubisoft is bringing its guitar-learning game to iOS and the iPad version of the app is soft launched right now in Canada. It's also quite generous with all of the 80 lessons offered for free without any kinds of ads or subscription and with only some additional songs available as paid DLC.

Ubisoft is even planning to add three to five new songs each Tuesday and it already features songs by Queen, The Offspring and more.

It works either just with the iPad's microphone if you have an acoustic guitar or requires an adapter that plugs into your headphone jack or lightning connector. Those adapter are not Rocksmith-specific and are quite cheap.

You can try the soft launched version for iPad here (by using our guide) and it should be available on iPhone and worldwide soon enough.
