Game Introduction

Just like in the other Bemani games, you follow along with the on-screen notes using the guitar controller's three buttons, and 'switch'. as the notes reach the top of the screen, hold down the corresponding button (red, green, or blue) and flick the switch on the body of the guitar, which simulates the guitar strings. Sometimes a guitar icon will come up the screen, and when it reaches the top, raising the guitar's neck vertically will give you a 'wailing bonus' Performing well enough will allow you to play an additional song.

Game Play

As the notes reach the top of the screen, press the corresponding button on the guitar (red, green or blue) and flick the switch on the guitar's body. Additional instructions can be found at http://www.konami-arcade.com/Music/GuitarFreaks/
