GH5 star power...

[brblx]

good job, troll. now go check out some real guitarists.

if you think that pic is how a guitar is held, you are completely and utterly clueless. go listen to green day and good charlotte or whoever else taught you your mad guitar skillz, kid.

i guess guys like steve vai and john petrucci are idiots. you should teach them how to play.

edit- since we're linking, here's an example of proper guitar posture.

My guitar in RB does the same thing. It was instant in GH though. I actually hold the guitar properly, as I play guitar I would know this. I end up having to attatch the bass pedal to the guitar and use that to activate star power. Makes it a lot easier as well.

my rock band guitar had a completely defective switch which i replaced with a pushbutton near the top strap mount. 100% foolproof, i just pull the guitar up and press it into my chest a little. if your switch it actually working, however, you can take the back of the guitar off and rotate it a little to tweak the sensitivity.

and lol @ the guy who thinks a horizontal neck is proper posture for a real guitar. do you also think you're supposed to hang the thing between your junk and your knees?

Cool story, bro.

Hmm...I've never had a problem with star power randomly going off on any of the guitars I've used. GH2 Xplorer, GH3 Les Paul, Wired Strat, GH:WT Guitar. Who's the one holding the guitar wrong again?

:roll:

Oh, and check out the picture of Kurt Cobain in GH5:

Rut ro! Looks like they used motion-capture to render him holding the guitar neck...horizontally! LOL @ Activision/Neversoft, right?

:roll:

Sorry I actually asked people who play guitar for real, not just plastic guitar controllers. Yes, holding the neck horizontally is the proper position. Obviously, some people have their own style, but the horizontal neck is the "proper" way to hold your guitar.

Also, considering how the tilt sensor works, you know, it activates when you tilt the guitar neck UP, common sense tells you that holding the guitar neck horizontally is probably encouraged. The very design of the guitar itself screams, "DO NOT HOLD THE GUITAR NECK UP OR IT WILL TRIGGER STAR POWER WHEN YOU DON'T WANT IT TO!"

Obviously, however, common sense eludes you.

:roll:

Uh, are you fucking stupid? The neck is angled up in that picture you posted... try turning your head in the direction where Kurt is standing up straight next time.

Seriously stop replying to my thread because you're fucking it up with useless bullshit. We understand that you play the guitar wrong, it's ok.

PS your bolded statement is priceless... I won't even bother proving it wrong because it's just so fucking idiotic I can't even begin.

Just open the thing up and see if any of it makes sense to you.

That's actually not a bad idea... I have an extra one. I'll see if I can improve it 😛

Speaking of which, we should jam sometime

The Les Paul uses an accelerometer attached directly to the main board, so there is not an easy fix to adjust the tilt sensor. If you're comfortable with a soldering iron and want to give it a shot, there is a guide here to disable/adjust the tilt switch.
