Fix for people with downstrumming problems...

[Tenacious_B]

Do NOT use the strum bar like in guitar hero, where you press straight down... you won't be quick enough because the new strum bar is meant to be strummed, not used as a button. Flick the nub on the strum bar at an angle in quick succession and it works perfectly, the strum bar is ultra-sensitive. Just flick the end at an angle but not down. This will fix most of your problems, and its much more fun than guitar hero.

that would be cool but I'm not gonna pay 180.00 for a game then stand around like a pansy "flicking" the strum bar, because it broke, I want to play it, not have to work it.

These controllers need to be sturdy, durable. People are going to be PLAYING them.
