music practice
If Savannah Starr can play her own instruments, then so can Hannah
Montana...but not until she practices a little. Okay, maybe after a lot of
practice. Good thing playing music is fun!
Look for Music Practice icons around town. There’s one for Rhythm
Guitar right in Miley’s living room (once Miley talks to Dad about it first)!

If you’re going to be a pop star, then you
need to learn to play the guitar. Start off
on rhythm and work your way up to lead!
Rhythm Guitar
Keep your eye on the musical notes as
they scroll down the fretboard toward
the guitar body on the Touch
Screen. When the +Control
Pad icon turns green, press
the + Control Pad in the
same direction as the icon
AND strum across all of
the strings (from left
to right) with the stylus. Lefties push the
A, B, X, Y Buttons instead.
If you’re left handed, go to Settings on the Main Menu and
change the Guitar setting to Left Handed. Instead of using the
+Control Pad to finger notes and chords, lefties can use
the A, B, X, Y Buttons on the other side of the Touch Screen.
Yeah, it’s tricky. But you’ll get the hang of it. To make it easier,
rotate your Nintendo DS™ 90 degrees counter-clockwise and
strum DOWN instead of left to right, just like a real guitar.
Bass Guitar
Playing bass is like playing rhythm, except instead of strumming
all the strings when the note scrolls over the guitar body, you “pick”
just one string by flicking it with your stylus. You can produce a
slightly different “slapping” sound by tapping the string with your
stylus instead of flicking it.
Lead Guitar
If you have mastered bass, then you’re ready for lead. Use the
same + Control Pad fingering technique as before, but tap each
string instead of flicking or strumming. You can “bend” a note by
holding the stylus against the Touch Screen after a tap and
then dragging the string up toward the next one.
Now you’re playing the blues!
