1. Using a Phillips screwdriver (not included) remove the
screw and battery compartment cover from the back
of the Guitar.

making sure the (+) and (-) ends face the proper
direction as indicated inside the battery
compartment.

3. Replace the compartment cover and tighten the
screw.

FCC WA RNINGCAUTIO NS

- To reduce risk, allow a distance of 5 feet (152cm)

between the player and the television set when
playing the game.

- To avoid electrical shock, do not remove the battery

cover when the game is powered ON.

- Emissions or interference of surrounding electronic

equipment may affect operating performance.

- Static electricity may cause this product to

malfunction and your score may be lost. If malfunc­tion occurs, have an adult reset the product by
removing and replacing the batteries.

Guitar Strap Installation

• Place the clip on one end of the Guitar Strap over the

peg on the bottom of the guitar and press firmly until
the clip snaps securely over the peg.

• Install the clip on the other end of the Guitar Strap

onto the peg on the top edge of the Guitar body in
the same manner.

• Adjust the Guitar Strap using the buckle in the

middle area of the Strap.

NOTE: The Guitar can easily be used either right-handed or left-handed.

Make sure your television is turned “OFF”, then:

1. Insert the color-coded AV plugs on the Guitar cable
into the appropriate AV inputs on your television set,
matching the color of the plug to the color of the
input.

TROUBLESHOOTING & TIPS

2. Switch your television “ON” and set it to the correct

A/V channel. (Refer to your television user manual.
Examples of some channels are: Input 1, Input 2,
Channel 3 but these channels vary from set to set.)

3. Turn the ON/OFF switch on the Guitar to “ON” and

the game will begin.

1. A title screen will appear.

2. Press any key to jump to “Charac­ter Select Screen”. (see Fig. 3)

3. Press the left side or right side of the dial-shaped
button on the guitar body (next to the ON/OFF
button) to select a character (see Fig. 4), then press
any key to confirm.

4. A “Select Song” screen will appear with 7 different
songs to choose from. (see Fig. 5)

5. Press the dial on the guitar body

left or right to move through the
list of songs.

6. When you reach the song you wish to play, press any
button to start the game and the “Game Screen” will
appear. (see Fig. 6)

7. When the music starts, colored blocks will begin
moving up the columns toward the rectangles. When a
block reaches the rectangle above it, press the
matching color button on the guitar neck and the
trigger on the guitar body AT THE SAME TIME.

8. Pressing the color button and strumming the trigger
both at the same time when the block is exactly in the
middle of the rectangle earns you a GOOD note. A
BAD note message appears when the block touches
the rectangle but is not exactly in the center of it. A
MISS message appears if the block is totally outside
the rectangle.

9. Scoring consecutive GOOD notes increases the count
on the COMBO Counter. When the COMBO Counter is
at 3 or more, you will earn bonus points for every
GOOD note you earn. Be careful, though, as a BAD or
MISS note resets the COMBO Counter to zero.

10. Occasionally a guitar will appear in the Rock Out
Column (At the right hand side of the two column). To
score, wait until the guitar is exactly inside the
outline at the top of the column, then quickly tilt the
head of the guitar straight up in the air.

11. The game is over when the song has ended. A screen
will then appear showing your score and how many
times you have made a GOOD, BAD or MISS, as well
as your highest achieved COMBO count. (see Fig. 7)

Now that you know how to groove, challenge your

friends to compete in a rock concert playoff!
