This article is for my Guitar Hero III/Rock Band playin' buddies. Apparently there's an issue with the new controllers (I believe servingdonuts mentioned it). These are detailed schematics and instructions on fixing them. Happy hacking!

I've always wanted to learn to play guitar, but I've felt daunted by the prospect of doing so. Therefore, I have been teaching myself to play the ukulele in my spare time.
