Guitar Meister Instructions
Introduction:
Ÿ The Guitar Meister makes playing guitar as easy as playing a video game. In fact, you play with a PS2
guitar controller. You can also play using the built-in buttons if you prefer or if you do not have a guitar
controller.
Ÿ No guitar playing experience is necessary. Play notes or chords by simply pressing buttons.
Ÿ Play three different instruments: electric guitar chords and notes, acoustic guitar chords and bass guitar.
Playing Music:
Ÿ To play a note or chord, press and hold the appropriate fret button(s), then press the strum button.
Ÿ Once the sound starts playing, you do not have to hold any buttons. You can move your fingers to the
next fret button(s) to be ready to play the next sound.
Ÿ When playing acoustic guitar, strumming up will play the minor chord. It does not play minor seventh
chords. For example, to play the A minor chord, strum up while holding either the Green fret button
alone, or the Green and Red fret buttons together.
Ÿ High E is only available for electric guitar notes, not chords.
Commands:
Ÿ To use a command, press and hold the appropriate fret button, then press the Start button. For example,
to record a series of notes or chords, press and hold the Green fret button, then press Start. Play the
notes or chords and press Start when you are finished.
Ÿ To change the volume, press and hold the Start button, then press Strum up or down.
Ÿ When changing instruments or volume, the Guitar Meister announces the name of the instrument or the
volume level. To prevent the announcements, hold the Select button at the same time. Announcements
are only heard through the built-in speaker or headphones, never through the amplifier output.
Ÿ When recording, up to 32 notes/chords and stop button presses are recorded. The whammy bar
position is not recorded, but you can use the whammy bar during playback.
Ÿ The record/play indicator light matches the color of the fret button pressed. That is, it turns green while
recording, red while playing the recording once and yellow while playing the recording continuously.
Connections:
Ÿ The PS2 controller port accepts any PS1 or PS2 joystick or guitar controller, including wireless
controllers. It is not compatible with controllers intended for the PS3, Xbox or Wii.
Ÿ The Amplifier jack is a 1/4” mono jack. The signal is unbalanced, so inserting a stereo plug into the jack
will only give sound on the left channel. Plugging into the amplifier jack disables the built-in speaker
except for instrument and volume announcements.
Ÿ The Headphone jack is a 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo jack. Inserting a mono plug into it will not work. Take care
to keep the volume at a safe level when using headphones. The maximum volume level is very loud.
