PlayinG With yoU rock Mode™
You Rock Mode™lets you migrate from playing video games to playing real guitar,
while having a fun experience the rst time you play a solo. Simply pick a backing
track, turn on the YOU ROCK button, press PLAY, and play along. You Rock
Mode™ ensures that the notes you play are in key with the chord progressions of the
backing track. You don’t need music theory, lessons, or the hassle of guring out the
right notes to play. Just pick a backing track and start jamming.
If you play a note that is not in the same key as the backing track, the You Rock
Guitar® automatically pitch corrects to the nearest acceptable note.
e built-in backing tracks use many of the most common modes and scale patterns
used in rock and roll, the blues, and pop. You can use the You Rock Mode to learn
which notes work and which ones don’t, and get soloing and sounding great fast!
e following table summarizes the You Rock Mode™ patches used by the 25 built-
in tracks that use You Rock Mode.
Note: Tracks 26-34 provide an assortment of metronomes using rimshots, hi-hats, and
clicks at various tempos. Track 35 is an audio demo of the You Rock Guitar’s features.

Guitarists like Jimmy Page, Joni Mitchell, Michael Hedges and John Martyn have
used open tunings to produce unique chord voicings and to extend their guitar
tunings beyond the standard E A D G B E. e You Rock Guitar® lets you quickly
change between open tunings by changing presets. Each preset stores a tuning
value along with its guitar and synth values.
To select a tuning for the current preset:
1. Press and hold the OPEN button. the LED display shows the current preset’s
tuning number for 3 seconds
2. Scroll through the tunings with the Up and Down arrow but-
tons. Values 1-50 correspond to open tunings. Values 51-60
correspond to “capo” tunings. (See tuning summary below.)
3. Release the OPEN button. e You Rock Guitar® now plays
with the open tuning you selected.
4. To save the new tuning with the current preset, hold RECORD until it stops
blinking.
Note: standard ‘EADGBE’ tuning is assigned to both open tuning 0 and open
tuning 1.
