RhYthm GuitAR Watch the musical
notes on the
touch screen as they scroll
down the fret board toward the guitar body.
When the yellow circle appears around the
+control Pad icon, press the +control Pad
in the same direction as the icon and strum
across all the strings (from left to right or right to left) with
the stylus. If you’re left-handed, go to settings from the
World Menu and change the Handedness setting to Left-
Handed. Lefties push the a, b, X and Y buttons
instead of using the +control Pad.
BASS GuitAR Playing bass is like playing
rhythm guitar, except instead of strumming all
the strings when the note scrolls over the
guitar body, you “pick” just one string by
tapping it with your stylus.
leAd GuitAR If you’ve mas-
tered bass, you’re ready for
lead. Use the same +control Pad finger-
ing technique as rhythm guitar, but tap each
string instead of tapping or strumming. In the
Recording Studio 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.
Buzz meteR
To earn buzz points and fill each audience
member’s buzz meter, play the music they
like and wow them with your performance
skills. Once an audience member’s buzz
fills to a certain point, they become a fan.
The more buzz you get with a fan, the
more they love you—and if they like you
enough, they might give you a reward.
For every fan you win over, you gain venue buzz points.
Venue buzz fills slower than audience buzz, but once it’s
full, you’ve unlocked the next building. Rock on!
StAtS BuildinG
