 6F: Guitar Battles, Help & Tips
---------------------------

Having a little trouble trying to beat a pixleated Tom Morello? Look for tips
here.

Heres a pretty good attack technique that always works in battle.

Physical Move (Whammy or Amp Overload)+Note Move (Difficulty up or Double Note)

With those moves, you can watch your enemy go down in flames. It makes them 
unable to hit notes while the notes are doubled and there are more of them.
For sudden death, try collecting a double notes, difficulty up, and amp
overload, and then releasing them all at once. Thats almost like a "Watch me
win in 5 seconds" attack.

Also, don't waste your attacks on when your partner isnt playing. Wait until
your part is done then set it off. Also, don't use it when your partner barely
has any notes to play, you wont want to set off your attack when theres only 4
long notes, eh?

If you get a broken string, just play the rest of the notes in your part and
then fix it when your not playing anything. What works even better is still
playing the note when it's broken, therefore keeping focus and fixing the
string at the same time.

One of my best tips is to save your attacks near the end, and keep playing and
blasting small attacks in the meantime. It takes a few tries to do this though,
because you need to memorize the song a little and know when you will get
attacks around the end. On their final solo, they get a lot of notes, and with
your super attack techniques, they'll get blown away.

Practice, young padawans.

---------------------------
7E: Tips
---------------------------

Can't beat that one song? Heres the best things you can do.

Practice Mode. The Simplest and one of the best solutions. Go to practice mode,
choose the song you have trouble with, choose the part that gives you the most
trouble (if its the whole song, choose full song), and put it on slow. Keep 
working on it until you get at least 3/4 of the notes, then put it on full, or
practice another part if needed. Keep trying until you beat it decently enough,
and then try the song on quickplay/career and play it. If you want to do
better, just come back to it some other time.

Another solution is focusing. Don't pay attention to any of the things around
you, just focus on the song your playing. Also remember to think positive, and
then you'll feel your better, and most likely you will do better. 

To get a higher score and rating on a song, star power is one of the best and
easiest keys to getting a better score. Don't bother waiting until you get a
lot, just use it as soon as you get it. Then, when you hit more notes and get
more, every time will add up. Remember to use it wisely, like don't use it in
the last 5 seconds of the song if you haven't used it a lot in then whole song.

Don't pay attention to your rock meter, your note streak, the background video,
or anything else on the screen besides the notes you need to play. If you only
pay attention to them, you will be more focused on them and will play more
notes than as much of time you would spend looking at your rock meter.

But really, the key to playing a song is to know where your fingers are. Just
remember where your fingers are places and the frets they are on, and then it
will all come easier. If you need though, you can look at which button is lit
up on the bottom of the note stream on the screen.

 1J: Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------

Heres some questions I thought of as a start. If you have any questions about
the game, feel free to submit your question. Just check [3L] Contact section.

Q: I can't play fire and flames again! Where is it?
A: Its on the Bonus Songs list at the bottom

Q: My whammy bar won't work.
A: Just take the Wii Remote out of the back of the guitar, unplug the exten-
sion, and plug it in again. This will most likely work and probably work with
any other problem with controls. That usually happens when the guitar is new,
but after awhile it gets better.
