You Will Need

Step 1:

Warm It Up

From the main menu... select Training, then try Practice or Tutorial modes to get your fingers warmed up. Rock stars look lame with carpal tunnel so try a few basic stretches before you wow the masses.

Step 2:

Play It Safe

Pick your song… but remember… your favorite freedom rock anthem may be out of your skill range. Play it safe… at least to start. Pick a song you can handle. The Skill Levels are: Easy, using the first three Fret Buttons; Medium, using four Frets Buttons; Hard, which uses all five Fret Buttons; Expert which uses all five Fret Buttons, Triple Cords, and alternating notes plus a few surprises.

Step 3:

Choose Wisely

It's time to let your alter ego come out and play. Select the rock star that suits your style and accessorize him with one of the guitars from the gallery.

Step 4:

On Your Mark, Get Set, Rock!

These notes are coming at you rapid-fire. Hold down the matching colored Fret Button and hit the Strum Bar with your thumb to play it.
Use the strum bar in both directions. It's crucial to your success - especially at higher levels.

Step 5:

Star Power

Take a look at your Rock Meter on the bottom right corner of the screen. If its green, you're cool. But if you're in the red... use your Star Power. Tilt your guitar up, Slash-style, and keep nailing those notes. This can double your points.
The Best Times To Use Star Power are:
If your rock meter is red or flashing red...
If your current score multiplier is x3 or x4 and you're kicking ass... OR
If there are a lot of notes coming up you know you can nail. Don't waste Star Power on sections where no notes are coming up.

Step 6:

The Whammy

Cash in on long notes. Grab the whammy bar. Wobble it back and forth to sweeten those killer riffs. After a series of long star notes, jam on the whammy bar.

Step 7:

Rock On!

Practice makes perfect… so keep at it. You'll be surprised at how fast you can go from fret fumbling to fierce fingering. And who knows...you may even get an encore.

Anonymous (360 days ago)

well, using the whammy can add star power which increase score... so...i think the video is correct

Anonymous (366 days ago)

i always thought that if you whammy fast you get more points.. might test it. and if you whammy on held star power notes then yes it fills up the light bulbs further, test it.

YOU GUYS ARE RETARDS WHAMMY DOES NOT GIVE POINTS!! the reason you got 27 more points was because you let go of the long not early...

eh whammy bar gives FEW points. i tested a note with and without but it was only a matter of like 27 points for a 8 count note. =\

whammy adds no points...period...the only thing it does is when you have a long star power note you can use whammy to extract more star power

I love adding points on by using the whammy bar! Why else would it be there fool?! If you whammy fast, the more points you rack up, if you do it slow, you get less points.

Yeah, not funny, and lame. also, using the whammy bar does not increase your score during held notes. common misconception.

Anonymous (409 days ago)

not only is it not funny, it's barely accurate. jamming the whammy doesnt activate starpower, and they didnt mention the need for star notes to be played to obtain starpower

Anonymous (409 days ago)

This video was idiotic. I can't believe someone wasted their time making it. It isn't remotely funny.
