The Xfm Breakfast Show is on a mission. Work Experience Steve is incompetent, foolish and unpopular. But all that’s about to change. We’ve hooked him up with Rocksmith, the new game that can help anyone learn to play guitar.

So by plugging it in, Steve will become talented, charming and desirable. Well, he’ll improve his guitar skills at least.

Under the guidance of Danny Wallace, Steve will be embarking on a musical journey, which will culminate in the ultimate challenge; performing a song live at Xfm’s Winter Wonderland.

Every week, Work Experience Steve will be filling us in on his progress, so you can keep up to date with the trials and tribulations of his mission.

Will he uncover a secret gift for the guitar or will he fall at the first hurdle and go off in a huff?

We’ll be following his every move from learning the basics, to busking on the streets and getting tips from serious musicians.
