  • The trick is to put a small piece of cardboard in between the neck and body of the controller as shown.
    It is a VERY specific problem, and if you have any other fret problems, it would be best to take your guitar apart. but this will fix the basic unresponsive button problem.

    Thank you!!! My daughter pulled this game out after a decade of it being in storage. The battery compartments were quite corroded and then the red button stopped working. I watched this video, tried the method and didn’t have success…because the neck was going the wrong way. So, I cut the cardboard into a small square, laid it in the slot with the guitar on its back, slid the neck in and BOOM!!! We’re rocking!!! Me, the wife and our 8 and 11 year old daughters. Thank you for turning our Saturday morning into a joyful family rock fest!

    Note: If this doesn't work completely, open your guitar neck and duct tape your fretboard on the inside down. The board should have white circles on it, but not all do. This completely fixed the problem for me.

    Hey!!!! We unearthed our guitar games and guitars after many years and were disappointed to realize the green fret on one neck didn’t work. We called every video game store and pawn shop in town looking for Xbox 360 guitars but to no avail. Just when I’d nearly given up hope of dusting my husband head to head I stumbled upon this video! Quickest fix ever!!!! Worked perfectly! Thank you so much!!!!

    Hi Zantor! We got a Wii, a bunch of games and two guitars and NEITHER of them worked. Obviously we had to get them from Ebay and we were mid online argument with the sellers when we decided to take the matters into our own hands and we found our own Guitar Hero (i.e. you)! Thank you so much, stay safe and stay blessed.

    2021 here- you just saved me from having to drop at least $50 on another guitar. THANK YOU. This fix is real and it’s so easy too. I’m glad I found this, my buttons were delayed and I was having a weird star power issue where star power would activate on its own without me tilting the guitar. I used this fix and now everything works well and the buttons are so much better with timing. I know I’m 3 years late and you may not see this, but if you do, you’re a real one much respect.

I bought this controller with the gh3 game used a few months ago after not playing for over 10 years lol the buttons worked fine when I got it but it felt lagey. I chalked it up to me not playing in over 10 years but eventually the buttons wouldn't register that I was hitting them on the screen. But after I tried the cardboard trick it plays better than ever!! Thank you!
