@Dajaanichu Mario kart ds is godly tho
More like a Nascar driver from 1977
That guy who ddossed you was a dude named Owen
Ukog's strat in the background has more dust than the GH franchise after it died

The GH3 Les Paul requires a T10 security screwdriver.
legend!
@@UKOGmonkey I had to figure out myself, thank god my dad had that screwdriver set.
ye ive tried to open it but always forgot so i give up as i'm not enough motivated to go garage look for one
T10 SS is for the 2 screws attached to the fretboard or the other ones that are outside the guitar ? Cause I haven't been able to find a screwdriver in my house that could remove the 2 small screws attached to the board lmao
@@touis1999 #1 - #2 philips head will be your best bet for the internal ones, precision screwdrivers might not have enough hold or torque
sounds like ive got a cold
its not that
ive just *broke my ribs*
just the usual. y'know, when you break your ribs i HATE when that happens!
Agreed
"No more excuses, if you miss a note, you missed a note!"
I tried the safety pin method , now my buttons feel a lot softer , finally FC'ed Cult of Personality Expert!
Good shit
A little hint, to avoid rounding up the screws holding the fred-connector-board: do NOT apply as little pressure as possible, but the opposite. Apply as much pressure as you can without breaking the board itself because rounding screws happens when the screwdriver flips over the screw-slit which only can happen, when the screwdriver isn't pushed in enough.
Otherwise, great video = )
i opened my guitar and the board has a rounded screw and i cant open it, any suggestions?
@@VintageGameZ If it's completely round you can use a plastic-pen and melt the plastic with for example a lighter. Press the hot plastic into the screw and let it cool off. Take another pen, melt a bit more and apply it as well to create more stability. If you're lucky you can turn the screw without the plastic breaking.
If the screw is not completely round but still has some rounded-off notches simply use a bigger screwdriver.
@@Bambuzzsprosse I will give this a try after work and hope for the best thank you!
@@VintageGameZ any update
You are a lifesaver! I have VERY few guitars to work with and my green button was having a contact issue or something(it only registered when pressed it super hard). Opened my guitar neck, cleaned everything up, poked some holes in the rubber and the green button issue is fixed and overall it feels like it's brand new again. Thanks a ton for the tutorial!
Personally I like the ridge on the yellow button. It helps me know the position my hand is in without having to look down at the guitar
thats why its there
yes i know this comment is 2 years old
Thank you so much for doing this video. I never knew about this and I was just about to buy a new guitar because I thought mine was too hard to press! I'll try these methods out soon... Kinda hyped!
I got an Xplorer yesterday, the buttons were so bad.. the buttons were high af on the fret, kept getting stuck, stiff af worse than Amazon's guitar... I modded it poking holes with the pin and loosened the screws so it goes in the fret more.. filed down the button's sides so it doesnt have friction... fucking smooth af now its actually playable.. better than all the guitars I have now. Thank you so much for this!
Small correction there are Guitar Hero 3 guitars for ps2 with detachable neck ;) got you fam
Can confirm
is that the kramer? i never used them, thanks for the info :D
My ps2 guitar doesnt come apart :(
@@krazykat9865 its probably the SG
I tried not to bust, but I couldn't help myself when I saw the sheer sexiness of the insides. Please forgive me?
it's alright man happens to the best of us
I just did the safety pin trick and my buttons feel absolutely amazing! I never would of thought of that.
"strap-on holder"
*"h e h"*
Hey I dont know if you remember answering my comment awhile back, but this was super helpful, and I cant wait for the next vid
Part 2 talks about the strum bar and how to stop overstrumming! czcams.com/video/Ss9R8153JA0/video.html If you have any other questions or need help with stuff then let me know in the comments, I can try to help or even make another tutorial! :D
I'm having an issue with my xplorer guitar, it is down strumming infinitely without pressing the strum. It only stops when I press the up strum. It would be great if u could help me! :D
Great vid dude,
I'm looking forward for your part 2. I always over strum on my xplorer guitar.
Is there a good place to get miscellaneous guitar parts/buttons or should i just get entire guitars and use parts from older ones?
Do you know how to fix a strum bar if it presses the yellow on downstrum when you try to hit a Green Red chord? I have this problem with the one I just bought.
make one about how to stop the squeaky strum
i was legit about to look up videos about this stuff..... what a god
Holy hell i literally broke my down strum like 3 days ago ur a savior
Thank you for showing me how to open the neck of the guitar. I’m thinking about cleaning my buttons and changing the buttons around.
Edit: button changing went great! And I’ll show my new buttons in a new video
This is not my usual kind of youtube channel, but I really appreciate the guitar hero controller tutorial. I have a strum issue specifically, but it's still nice to see more information on the controller itself in general.
Thank you! My fret board is a lot more smooth, can't wait for part two!
I love how enter sandman is playing in the baking but a 8-bit version good choice
Thank you so much my dude! I was trying to asking on stream yesterday actually!XD
Ukogmonkey thanks for the heart m8!
Also, 8 bit hold the line is an absolute banger.
For Americans watching:
You're gonna need a small hex and a small Phillips.
**torx
Torx 10 and Phillips head #1
Hex and torx are different. Hex are hexagonal shapes with flat sides like a normal hexagonal shape. Torx are like hex but sides are a bit concave, and the center is also concaved.
@@kohlmannnreally you only need a Phillips because I used only that to undo everything for my WoR guitar
also, round off = strip
The fretboard mod with the rubber/silicone piece or whatever is helping me with hitting the TTFAF intro (Smash Hits chart). Thanks!
Thanks dude this was such a help and i just wanna say love your content ❤
I was just complaining to my buddy about how I hate using the Wiitar I just bought because of how stiff the buttons are. I’m for sure giving the safety pin trick a go this weekend.
Much love, Ukog.
I can't remove the wooden thing that holds the rubber for some reason. It's completely stuck
I watched this on my Xbox so I want you to know and appreciate that commenting was a bit more of a chore than usual.
However, I was watching this video and as I got to the end after being enthralled by the contents of the neck I was slightly disappointed that you didn’t cover the body; I was excited to see that part.
I was tempted to move onto another video when something in my brain told me to watch your outro. It was here that you mentioned part 2 being out already if the video was more than a couple days old. I looked, saw the video was posted 4 months ago and instantly I was excited again because I knew it’d cover the body.
I just wanted to thank you for putting that little extra bit into the video. I might not have seen pt 2 if it wasn’t in there. I’ve got it paused as I type this, I’m about to give it a watch as soon as I press enter.
Ian Vansickle he covers the neck in a part 2
I have a WTguitar (xbox360) since 2010, and 've been fixing all the problems it came since then.. I can tell that 'she' is very smooth to play on... I expect the magnetic/metal of the buttons dont stop doing their job, but they are starting to... So I'm doing the opposite way: putting some levels behing the frets...
Nice 'tuto' BTW
The yellow button ridge actually helped me learn how to feel where I am when playing, I can't see myself playing without it 😅
Hi George. Glad to see you’re doing better. Hope to see you more
I have one of the old exbox 360 stratocasters. It's even got the lower neck buttons that are closer together and are way easier to solo with. Anyway, those are some nice tats Ukog.
This is just what I needed, thanks a bunch!!
Can you make a video on taking apart the WoR guitar? I can't find anything for that guitar anywhere and I'm scared to break it
I've never been more excited. Oh boy. Clone Hero here I come.
a couple of tips that i have found really help! if you open up your guitar a lot buy a pack of lil 1cm cross head screws, this means you only need one screwdriver to do the whole thing and if one screw breaks you can just replace it. this one is for world tour/gh5 guitars only, take out the things on the head of the guitar and keep the screws around so if one of the screws holding the board on breaks you can just replace it (the screws work with les pauls and tour guitars i know that idk about the other guitars). Hope these help a bit :)
Thanks Ukog...I made my only yellow button guitar :D
how to make your guitar eternal in 10 easy steps gamecenters hate him
thanks for making this, my guitar's fret sometimes lag/stick in the game, might clean it out or something
TIP:
Some screwdrivers that are small can work to take out the screws from the neck and if you’re screwdriver if has a set of screw head things (lol) twist the screwdriver one is for taking out screws and ones for putting them in
You can boil the dome switches to soften them rather than cutting them. I would also highly recommend using a ruler and sharpy to mark and measure your pokes/cuts instead of just free handing it. You will get a more consistent result. Probably would want to use a razor or xacto knife for the cutting too.
you’ll need a Tork’s screwdriver for the PS2 guitars. I happen to have one. My PS2 Guitar was actually my first one that I opened up, and I also happen to break it one time. One of the wires were so worn and old that it came clean off of the board, now my wammy doesn’t work.
For one of my Guitars, I actually had to take out the small rubber bumpers that each of the buttons had because they would constantly shift and cause the buttons to stick.
Totally unrelated but i've been wondering for ages, are your tattoos waiting to be turned in to sleeves? They look sick
GEORGE, a lot of the GH controllers I buy have extremely stiff frets when I push them down, like from the green to orange fret, it gets progressively stiffer and CREAKY, like the plastic is rubbing against the frets themselves causing friction and stiffness. I’ve tried at least 3 different GH3 necks and a lot of have the same issue, I’ve even tried carving some of the black neck plastic in between the frets but it doesn’t seem to solve it. I’ve been wanting to get back into GH trough CH and the Wii USB adapter but this has been my bane for so long.
Problem might be too specific but I figured you might have experienced it at some point or another, what do you think? Stank you smelly much 🤙🏼
never had that specific issue before, what model guitar do you get? I would try sandpaper between the frets like what you were doing and also some wd40 to smoothen them up. Lube that hole and make it bigger! ;)
@ukogmonkey A tricycle is just a unicycle with training wheels
You took that from raccoon eggs
@@twistedyoyo20 FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED
Can I do this with an xplorer rubber thing?I know it has a different shape but do I have to do the same cut procedure?
I was at an arcade the other day and they had guitar hero, it felt so loose and fast compared to mine at home. Must’ve been sitting there since it came out so who knows how many uses it’s had.
Dude... Is that an 8-bit version of Toto's "hold the line" I'm hearing?... Awesome 👍
UKOG FOR PRESIDENT
I know this video is insanely old, but was wondering if you had anything for when the buttons don’t register, back when I played Rock Band we would strap socks over the drum kits due to registry issues, is there anything safe to place where the rubber is to help with button registration?
Thank you for the video, glad your ok!
now the real question is where do you get the custom fret buttons
Love that this is in my recommended 4years later
Do you know how to change the switch for the strum bar out? I have two guitars with bad strum bars in them. If not, where do you get more guitars?
Guitar Hero World Tour for PS2 has a detachable neck too, iirc. You can mount a neck with a slider or just the buttons.
Little tip, if you are worried about the screws getting stripped replace them with the same style screws but better quality
I love your Scissors!!! Did Adelaide sell them to you?
Thanks UKOG I fixed my rock band Stratocaster!
Great tutorial ukog, great tutorial 😂
Breaking your ribs while on the second lap of a 50 lap go cart race and still placing first is about the best conversion started I've ever heard
All I did on my red SG PS2 guitar was replace the solid color buttons with the ones with the black centers (Wii Les Paul that was broken) and it's soooooo much better, they're slightly smaller than the solid color buttons so they have a looser feel and press to them.
Over the years, have you found anywhere to get replacement rubbers other than second-hand guitars? I did that mod but stupid me decided to use the nearest thing to hand which was a Stanley blade, they're absolute crap now. Tried one out of a broken WT guitar but it doesn't quite fit over the orange button properly.
i like the rocksmith controller you have in the background
I wonder if microswitches would provide any benefit?
No travel. A little bit of tactile feedback. WAY more longevity. More consistent pressure requirements. Hell, you could maybe even customize the depression force if you look around.
Also, a tip, If you're a new player and are just beginning playing the game, this won't help you get better.
This mod is for higher skilled players who are limited by the buttons, rather than hand and finger movements.
how are you so good at this game... like seriously you are not human
So I know this was a year ago but can ANYONE help me? I'm trying to change the color of my buttons and I just popped them out and spray painted them real quick but unfortunately when I get to playing and sliding the paint starts to warm up and gets tacky. Like, I literally play worse now because I can't slide up and down the frets like I used to. Any tips and/or different kinds of way to color my buttons without losing any slide potential?
Maybe if you put a tiny bit of some sort of glue on the edges of where you cut the rubber won't tear as fast
Torx screwdriver is size T8. And i know for a fact that the Xplorers DO use torx screws on the outside
Geroge out here living real life Capeta anime with winning a race with broken ribs lol
Ty I made my fretbuttons is cool now I use orange red blue red orange looks so sick
Lol btw that's not rust, its the silicone they put on the connections to help keep water and other things from getting into them and also helps hold them in place. Just thought I'd share that because someone might get the wrong idea and think water damage or something is wrong. Its on all the guitars and usually only on the bottom screw.
If you were to clean the green side of the little board would that help with the problem of when pressing down your button it cuts in and out during game play? I can’t tell you how annoying it is to hit a chord and it just cuts off because my button cuts in and out
I wonder if you could make a mould and manufacture the rubber bits
welcome back!
I've always wanted to mess with my buttons, thanks George
Does anybody know what the rubber piece that you press down on to register the buttons is called?
The White Xplorer guitar requires a T10 in order to remove their special screws as well a phillips head screwdriver for the inside parts :-)
The puns in this video my gawd
Might be a stupid question, but do you have any special method you use, to remove stickers from guitars who have been completely filled with them?
They sell special drill bits for removing stripped screws if you do accidentally round them while trying to do this mod
Another maybe harder mod would be shortening the travel distance. Basically cut the circuit board mounts shorter
I love you ukog ❤️❤️ great video
Any idea how to fix the "neck release switch" on a guitar hero world tour guitar?
Can you show a tutorial of how to properly take apart a warriors of rock controller?
Instructions unclear.
Pierced all the rubbers.
Now a father of 5.
Just wondering. The guitar in the thumbnail, how would you paint on the letters
That 8-bit song is Hold The Line by Toto
gonna try to cut a long round hole so theres no corners to rip and see if it lasts longer
The midi version of Enter Sandman reminds me of the SNES version of Maximum Carnage. Huge nostalgia bomb
Do you think it would be too hard to put a GH Guitar transmissor into a Rock Band Stratocaster Guitar?
Because I found them to be nicer, yet they don't work for some of my favorite gh games, which are gh 3, 2 and 1...
Do you think it's easily doable?
What kind of screwdriver is that? I got a GH5 Wii guitar and i've tryng unscrewing my guitar with all of my screwdrivers, but all of them its not fit well🤔🤔😭
