Playing in Fret Mode
When plugged in, the guitar always begins in
Fret Mode. Fret Mode is the simplest play
mode, and the closest approximation of playing
Guitar Hero/Rock Band with a real guitar. In
this mode, the spaces between the first 5 frets
of the guitar act like the standard buttons in the
game. When you press on a string between any
of the frets, it records a button hit. In this
mode, it doesn't matter which string you press.
In the diagrams, the red circles represent finger
presses, while the red strings and frets are the
strings and frets the controller sees as "active".

fig 4. - Pressing Multiple Notes at Once
fig 3. - Holding Each of the 5 Notes
In order to play multiple buttons at once, press
different strings between multiple frets. Note
that in order to play multiple notes, you're
required to press multiple strings. Just like a real
guitar, when you press multiple frets on the
same string, the guitar will only register on the
fret that's closest to the body of the guitar.
▲Only Yellow Note Played
