Whammy Issues With 360 Guitar Controller
Guitar Hero 2 just dropped yesterday on the Xbox 360, and there seems to be a kink with the guitar controller. Some people are complaining about the responsiveness of the whammy bar. Most of the complaints are centered around a delay in the whammy action starting, and the fact that it is difficult to get the whammy to start. There might be a connection between the model number of the guitar and the problems.
RedOctane has addressed the issue with a statement.
We’re currently in the process of having our internal QA and production teams look into this possible issue, and are working to quickly isolate this if there is one. In the meantime, we suggest our fans try to replug in their guitars without holding down any buttons or the whammy bar, and that may help immediately resolve the issue.
Hmm, that sounds like a temporary fix to the issue. It also sounds like my advice to anyone having computer issues, “Have you tried restarting the system?” It rarely works.

OH MY GOD TOOTS! you just referenced my favorite game show from when i was really little. i didnt know what the fuck was going on but i loved the spinning things on there and the whammies
Yo, Beximus, did you ever hear about the Press Your Luck scandal? Apparently Michael Larsen was able to beat the Press Your Luck system and he ran away with the greatest total ever won on the game show.It eventually led to his downfall. Tragic and ridiculous all rolled up into a terrific tale. Enjoy!
I'm hoping they issue a 360 version of the PS2 guitar. The 360 guitar is way too small and cramped.
No Whammies! No Whammies! No Whammies! AAAAAAANNND STOP! *smashes face on the button*
That controller is frustrating, getting it to work is harder than trying to open a door with your eyelids. It was more succesfull when I just yelled "whammyyyyyy!" at it and prayed for it to work.
