Something to Try

[Cliff]

So I was messing around yesterday, and needed something to cheer me up from the discovery that my whammy bar stopped snapping back to its original position (any remedy for this?), and tried 3-finger-fretting a song. This prompted me to try it out with one finger (index) sliding up and down the neck of the controller as you would play a legitimate guitar. Although it knocked my Thunder Kiss score down about 40%, I'll admit it was pretty awesome. Give it a try, and tell me what you think.

Thanks, Echelar, I'll give that a try.

Edit: As it turns out, the problem has nothing to do with the spring. It seems that there is a small piece of plastic connecting the whammy device to the piece that works the spring, and that connector has broken in half. Now begins my quest for a decent adhesive! I'm thinking epoxy.

to fix the whammy bar thing you will have to open the guitar and super glue the little piece that is broken. i literally just fixed that problem on my guitar since my friend broke it! i was pissed!

That one finger fretting thing (for non-chords) is actually really fun on that song, lol. I got 92% on Expert first time through.

As for the whammies, be gentle =(. After all, you only need to use them for SP, otherwise they're useless (except for having fun with the sound), and it doesn't matter how fast you whammy on the SP notes; as long as the streak is the glowing bluish color and your SP meter is sparking, you're getting the bonus SP. ;)

To fix the whammy bar all you need is a rubber band. Attach the rubber band around the whammy bar and where the neck strap is connected to the guitar. It looks trashy, but it works!
