Buzz Meter

To earn buzz points and fill each audience member’s buzz meter, play the music they like and wow them with your performance skills. Once an audience member’s buzz fills to a certain point, they become a fan. The more buzz you get with a fan, the more they love you—and if they like you enough, they might give you a reward.

For every fan you win over, you gain venue buzz points. Venue buzz fills slower than audience buzz, but once it’s full, you’ve unlocked the next building. Rock on!

Playing Instruments

Rhythm Guitar Watch the musical

notes on the Touch Screen as they scroll down the fret board toward the guitar body. When the yellow circle appears around the +Control Pad icon, press the +Control Pad in the same direction as the icon and strum

across all the strings (from left to right or right to left) with the stylus. If you’re left-handed, go to Settings from the World Menu and change the Handedness setting to Left- Handed. Lefties push the A, B, X and Y Buttons instead of using the +Control Pad.

Bass Guitar Playing bass is like playing rhythm guitar, except instead of strumming all the strings when the note scrolls over the guitar body, you “pick” just one string by tapping it with your stylus.

Lead Guitar If you’ve mas-

tered bass, you’re ready for

lead. Use the same +Control Pad finger- ing technique as rhythm guitar, but tap each string instead of tapping or strumming. In the Recording Studio you can “bend” a note by

holding the stylus against the Touch
Screen after a tap and then dragging	11
the string up toward the next one.
