How to Fix a Guitar Hero 3 Whammy Bar

Guitar Hero 3 lets you play hundreds of popular songs in your quest for musical greatness. The controller is modeled after a guitar, complete with a strum bar, fret keys and whammy bar. If the whammy bar is loose, you will need to fix it so it does not affect game play.

Things You'll Need

Small Phillips head screwdriver

Instructions

- 1
  Unplug the guitar controller from your gaming system. Place the controller face down on a flat surface.
- 2
  Unscrew the 11 screws that hold the guitar casing together. Remove the back to expose the inner workings of the controller.
- 3
  Locate the whammy bar controls, a white section directly behind the whammy bar. Look for the area where cords run from the white section to the controller motherboard.
- 4
  Find the two screws on either side of the cords. These are tension screws; tightening them will fix a loose whammy bar.
- 5
  Close the controller back up and replace the screws.
