Rocksmith 2014 System Of A Down - Aerials -exclusive • Pro

When you load up "Aerials" in Rocksmith 2014, you aren’t just learning a song; you are stepping into the shoes of Daron Malakian. Unlike many metal bands where the guitarist strictly follows the rhythm section or plays technical leads, Malakian’s playing style is textural. He acts as both a rhythmic battering ram and a melodic weaver.

Here is a breakdown of the technical challenges players face when attempting to master this track in the game:

The hallmark of System of a Down’s sound is their refusal to adhere to standard tuning conventions, and "Aerials" is a prime example. To play this track accurately in Rocksmith 2014, players will need to tackle Drop C Tuning (C-G-C-F-A-D).

This low tuning gives the song its sludgy, atmospheric weight. While Rocksmith 2014 handles alternate tunings seamlessly, "Aerials" presents a specific challenge: it isn't just about speed; it’s about control. The song requires players to balance heavy, chugging riffs with ethereal, clean passages that rely heavily on chorus effects.

Most players ignore the Rhythm arrangement, but for "Aerials," you shouldn't.

While Ubisoft officially released a System Of A Down song pack (including "Chop Suey!" and "Hypnotize"), "Aerials" occupies a unique position. For many regions and legacy platforms, an official, high-fidelity version of "Aerials" was either region-locked or only available via the now-defunct original Rocksmith import tool.

However, the term EXCLUSIVE in the current community usually refers to the Custom DLC (CDLC) version created by the premier charting group on CustomsForge. Why is it exclusive?
