Dear All,

I just bought a Guitar Hero World Tour band where it comes with guitar, drum and mic for the Nintendo Wii. However, I find that the guitar have some problem. It will auto strum notes even thou I am not playing it. At times when I'm strumming some notes, suddenly in between the notes it will auto strum. I know it auto strum because I can hear a 'miss' strum noise or my multiplier suddenly goes to zero when I'm not doing anything.

I have exchange for a new guitar but the problem still exists. Is it because of the sensor pad which is too sensitive due to heat or should I just exchange a new guitar?

I googled some other forums where there are different explanations such as strummer problem, the sensor over sensitive due to heat and etc.

Is there anyone of you who could help me out as I do not have time to keep traveling to Sungei Wang from Kota Damansara daily to exchange a new guitar which might face the same problem again? Are there any possibilities that some of you people can share your experience on this issue?

It will be great to have some feedback from you and thanks in advance.

Cheers.

hey lordy, i have the same problem too. is like at the start of a song, you haven't started even struming yet, then suddenly the guitar will start 'strumming' for you until u get booed off stage. for me, i solve that by never touching the touch pads. the problem only starts when start to touch it and will continue randomly after that. so no touch policy kind of works for me.

btw, what is the rubber band IINM fix? kindly elaborate

I turned the tilt sensors and the other one was don't know what sensor but the problem still occurs.

Then I went reset the lag calibration and now the guitar seems to work like a charm.

I guess my lag calibration settings caused it? I guess I will have to monitor it closely =)

Thanks for all the reply and hope the above solution can be tested by ramz and others who faces the same problem?

Cheers

If using LCD TV, lag problems are more prominent. But for me is not due to lag (done that, been there). glad you resolve your problem already. I can imagine the frustration if u haven't. anyway, i don't really miss the touch pad so much. u can still play pretty well without it. The more important skill to master how to alternate strum (2 way strumming). for some hard/expert songs u will need it.
