choRd SetS
When playing a guitar track, you can choose
the chords you want to play. After selecting
a guitar, select edit to choose from one of
six pre-set chords. You can also select edit
to create your own chord set if you have not
selected a Genre.
looPS
In the recording studio, you can create a song
completely from scratch, or, if you’ve
unlocked bandmates, they can play along
using a background loop from the studio
song library. Just press the Loops button in
the Recording Studio. Select a loop and your
bandmate will tell you what kind of loop he
or she can play for you. If you like the loop,
press next and it will be in your song. If you
don’t like it, select another loop or press the
loop again to deselect it.
GenRe
There are up to four classic song styles that
set up the instruments, loops and chord/
note groups for you. For example, if you
select rock, only rock music instrument
variations and background loops are
available. You start with one Genre and
can unlock more by performing live.
dRumS: Timing is everything in drums. Try
to hit each drum when the falling notes match
up with the ring on the drum. Use the stylus
and the touch screen to tap each drum and
cymbal at the right time.
ReCoRdInG studIo
There are two recording studios in the city:
the first specializes in solo recording and the second is
set up for multiplayer jam sessions. Once in the studio,
you can record tracks for a new song or edit the tracks in
a saved song. Recording music isn’t hard—just follow the
in-game tutorials.
RecoRdinG
It’s time to rock! First, select an instrument variation.
There are up to four variations, each with its own unique
look and sound. You start with one choice
and can unlock more by performing live.
Next, go on to the instrument interface. Here
you can play the instrument in any way you’d
like. You can record your song by pressing
the Record button and when you’re done,
press the Stop button. To hear what you’ve
recorded, press Play. When you’re happy
with the song, press the Next button to
return to the Recording Studio. You can
save 12 songs.
