II. Version History

v1.0 - Started up the guide and FAQ just for you, the 
Guitar Hero players who are in need of a guide for the Wii 
Version.

+++

III. Notable Things/About the Author and Game
---

Currently residing in your refridgerator eating your food, 
I have typed this guide mainly because there are so many 
questions about this guide on the forums. Most of these questions 
include the guitar defects and Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce.

Guitar Hero is a rhythm game started by Harmonix and Red Octane 
in 2005, including many great songs such as Bark at the Moon, 
Killer Queen, and Iron Man. Late in 2006, the Guitar Hero franchise 
was bought out by Activision before the release of Guitar Hero II, 
which includes the infamous Jordan, Trogdor, Free Bird, and others. 
Before Harmonix left, they stayed in to finish the making of 
Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the '80s, a Playstation 2 exclusive disc.

With the release of Guitar Hero III, boss battles were introduced 
into the solo career, but I won't spoil that now.

V. Additional Modes
---
Shown here is a list of all the modes, what they contain, 
and a short description of each.

Career - Create a band name, play songs on Easy, Medium, 
Hard, and Expert. Does include the Boss Battles vs. Slash, 
Tom Morello, and Lou.

Cooperative Career - Same as above, but with a friend. 
You and your friend can choose individual difficulties and 
guitar or bass/rhythm. Boss battles are NOT included here.

Quick Play - Single player mode where you can play a song on 
any difficulty but you cannot choose the boss battles here for 
some reason. :(

Multiplayer - This will be broken down into three categories:

	-Face-Off: You and a friend play a song, both being 
able to choose your own difficulty, however, in this mode 
you do not play an entire song, you switch off playing a verse 
or so instead...(bleh) The person with the highest score wins! 
You can use star power in this mode

	-Pro Face-Off: You and a friend play a song on the 
same difficulty and you DO play the entire song in this mode 
instead of switching off. Highest score still wins here and 
star power is still in use here.

	-Battle Mode: Here's where it gets interesting... 
In this mode, you and a friend play a song with your rock meter. 
Instead of star power, you get battle powers; listed below. 
You will continue playing the song until one of you 
(Rofl @ Expert vs Easy battle)

	Broken string: One fret button on the 
opponent's guitar will not work until it is fixed. 
(Rapidly tapping the button.)
	
	Difficulty up: The opponent will play the 
song on an increased difficulty for a short duration 
of time. (Doesn't work on Expert.)
	
	Amp overload: The fret board will shake and 
cause the notes to blink, making the scrolling notes 
difficult to read.
	
	Whammy bar: The opponent will have to use the 
whammy bar before he/she can play notes again.
	
	Steal power: This will steal your opponent's power-up. 
(Doesn't work if your opponent has no power-up and this will be wasted.)
	
	Double notes: The opponent will have to play any single 
note as a two-button chord, and any two-button chord as a three-button 
chord for a short amount of time.
	
	Lefty flip: The fret board will be mirrored; the green and 
orange will swap places, same with the red and blue.
	
	Death Drain: Sudden death mode, this attack is unstoppable 
and your rock meter will go down until you fail when the attack is 
launched against you and vise versa.

Training - Also split into categories, but only two this time.

	-Tutorial: Teaches the basics of playing the game. 
Four different tutorials, including one for hammer-ons & 
pull-offs and battle mode.

	-Practice: Allows you to practice a song on any difficulty 
and allows you to pick whether you will play lead guitar or bass/rhythm guitar. 
You can choose parts of a song, or if it's TTFAF you will more than likely be 
playing it here. You can also slow down the song to learn specific parts.

Options - You can change various options here as well as enter cheats and save.

Nintendo WFC - You can connect to the internet and play versus random 
people or your friends using one of the three "sub-modes" in the 
multiplayer mode.

VII. Guitar Problems with the Wii
---
What to do if you have one of these problems:

Non-responsive Button(s): Simply restart the game, do not press 
any buttons on the guitar or detach the neck from the body of the 
guitar and blow into the slots like an NES/GBA/SNES game

Non-Responsive Whammy Bar: Restart the game and make sure the 
whammy bar is not being pushed down even the slightest or simply 
do the NES game trick stated above.

OMG! Lag! : Very simple, start a song, pause and goto options 
then goto calibrate lag and follow the instructions, if this 
doesn't work, I got nothin'.

My Wii Remote Speaker Doesn't Work! : Goto the home menu and 
Wii Remote Settings (the option at the bottom) and make sure the 
volume is up all the way. If that doesn't work, goto options in the 
game and turn up the Sound FX all the way if it is not already.

If none of this works, return your game to the store and 
exchange it...Hope this helps y'all! If you have another 
solution, email it to me!
