Mastering the guitar is all about timing and dexterity. First off, check out the fret board which you can see to the left. As the notes move down the fret board, get ready to push the appropriate key when the note is exactly over the target in the picking area. The better your timing the more points you will score. If you can keep hitting the notes accurately then your combo counter will increase, multiplying the bonus you get for each note. To clear the stage you must keep the skill bar above the half-way point by not flunking too many notes! Clear all the five stages and earn the title of Guitar Geek. You can also use the 1234 or HJKL keys instead of ASDF, and escape or P key will pause the game.
