Hey everybody. This is my first time posting. I'm having trouble with my PS3 Fender Strat guitar that came with the game.

I have had a lot of friends come over and play in these last two weeks since I got the game. The strum bar was working fine for the first couple of days, but after that it stopped registering notes when they hit it downwards. Yet, it still worked when they pull the bar up, so we kept doing that, and the only time we ran into trouble in when we had to hit consecutive notes because we couldn't go that fast.

Today, we had to had really hitting the strum bar hard for anything to register, which made it basically impossible to make it through any song on medium. Has anybody had this problem and fixed it somehow?

For the record, we had problems hitting it down righty, so as a lefty it wasn't as bad. Yet, today, even as a lefty, it took a lot of effort to register.

I was thinking of ordering a replacement from EA, but from all i've heard from other people on the forums it's even worse. Anybody have a solution?

Thanks!

Your guitar is defective. Do the replacement through EA and cross your fingers and hope you get a good one. If you don't, send it back again. That's pretty much all you can do. My guitar has always worked just fine, so there are good guitars out there, it just seems that some people have had a lot of bad luck.

Yeah, my luck was good in getting the game, but since then i've run into a lot of problems, mainly due to the drums being kind of loud when you hit them (i'm in college in a dorm, so everybody hears me play) but especially since I stasrted getting this guitar problem i've not been a happy camper.

Is there a website to order it from or should I call?

Alright, here's another question... I'm trying to fill out the warranty information but it's telling me I don't have the criteria for registering... What am I missing? I filled out everything that there is on the form.
