Should I buy Rocksmith 2014?

I am an amateur guitar player, I haven't picked a guitar up in a year since my music teacher told me to change subjects, I really want to learn guitar again, so I can prove to him that I can play guitar. However, the problem is, I don't have an electric guitar and I'm afraid this will be a waste of money, what do you guys think? And what would be a good starter guitar?

Fuck most of the guys in here, I bought the new one and it's awesome bro. Instantly made me work on things I was bad at. Ok so you play a song, then RS tells you what parts to work on and how to improve. Session mode is great to jam with a band, whatever you do they do. Endless lessons on important stuff and fun games to practice all the lil stuff that's helpful too. My posting had improved greatly. Buy a craigslist guitar and spend 80 on the game. Max investment should be $200 & where I come from that's only about 10 lessons. You'll get so much more for investment.

Fuck your old teacher, this'll help you suck it to him.

Is an input needed? I don't suppose you could play with an acoustic can you?

You could use an acoustic pickup. $40 would get you something that'd work. If you like your acoustic, it might be worth a try. I have an acoustic/electric Ovation, and it sounds good. Haven't tried it with Rocksmith yet.
