This guitar has a Palm Sensor that produces an effect similar to "palming" on a stringed guitar. Depress the edge of your palm on the Palm Sensor to stop the sound; or 3. Brush the Strum Bar with the fleshy part of your palm holding down the Palm Sensor to play palm-muted notes. Play around and have fun: you'll get it. And the Palm Sensor won't work through your sleeve, so keep your strumming arm's sleeve out of the way! MUSICAL NOTE A A sharp/B flat B C C sharp/D flat D D sharp/E flat E F F sharp/G flat G G sharp/A flat A Bending Notes When you are playing a note, tilt your guitar's neck upward or downward: this produces an effect similar to "bending" strings/notes on a real guitar. 5 1 Hammer-Ons Your guitar also lets you play "hammer-ons": that is, pressing a fret, without strumming, to produce a higher note than the one being played. To do what's called a one-handed hammer-on: 1. While that note is sounding: if you are already pressing a fret, press any fret between your left hand and the Strum Bar; or just press a fret on an "open" strum. MODES There's more than one way to play with your new guitar! Speaker With Lights ­ Take the enclosed cable and connect your personal music player (mp3 player, stereo, CD player, etc. *) to the guitar through the Input Jack. Control the volume through your music player. As music plays through the guitar's speaker, a light show appears on the neck. Touch the neck to get different light patterns. If you leave music playing through the guitar for about an hour ­ let's say you step away to sign autographs ­ the guitar will "go to sleep. " To "wake it up, " press the Mode button. If no music is detected in about 3 minutes, the guitar will "go to sleep. " Hear how the note changes? You can also do two-handed hammer-ons: 1. As you play with your finger on a fret, brush the Strum Bar to play that note. While the note is sounding, keep the first finger depressed and, with your strumming hand, touch a fret between your left hand and the Strum Bar. Jam ­ This mode allows you to play your guitar one of two ways: · By yourself, with no accompaniment · With a PMP (personal music player*) connected to the Input Jack and music playing through the guitar's speaker. Your playing will be layered over the music coming through the speaker. Adjust the volume of your PMP* so it is compatible with your guitar's volume. 6 1 * Not included Pull-Offs Your guitar also lets you play what are called "pull-offs"; the opposite of a "hammer-on. " A pull-off means you remove your finger from an already-pressed fret while the note is sounding, producing a new, lower note. Experiment with different settings, styles, and tones: have fun! Learn ­ This mode teaches you songs that are stored in the guitar's memory. 1. Turn the MODE Knob to the LEARN setting. Lights on the fret board will blink: 12 frets, 12 songs, arranged in order of increasing difficulty. The first fret is the first lesson. Now You Play Once the phrase is done playing, it's your turn to play the phrase. You must play the correct notes and approximately in time: If you make three mistakes playing a phrase, a "clink" sound marks each missed note. [. . . ] With your fingernail, lift up the Face Plate and gently remove it. If you have a replacement Face Plate (sold separately), position it over the Face Plate area and click it into place. 10 1 FCC STATEMENT This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
