The strumming switch will be used for fine adjustments in height. This is an idea so far, and our controller is orderd and being shipped. The driver holds the guitar controller as they would if they were playing Guitar Hero. Since we already know how to program Xbox 360 controllers, we can program a guitar controller since it is basically the same thing, just with a different shape.

We're gonna rock our regionals, and hopefully champs.
Please tell me you're also trying to find a way to implement the streak bonus from the game when you have to thrust the guitar handle upwards to activate your bonus (It has a name, but I forgot what it is). That would be so great to see someone behind the glass just shaking their guitar.
