    I see that the part number on my GH controller matches the apparently broken ones (95055). The problem is that I'm a GH virgin, so have no idea how the 'whammy bar' is supposed to work and whether mine is broken or not. Can anyone who's a bit of rock star tell me what a non-broken whammy bar would function like?

    On long notes that you hold, you can use the whammy bar to alter the sound of the note. Press it towards the guitar at the note should get lower, bring it back up and the pitch of the note raises, wiggle it up and down, the note does the same. This is especially useful in star-power phrases as it fills the meter more. Problem with a lot of guitars, mine included, was that the bar simply didn't respond, or only did a small percentage of the time. I posted a fix in the who's getting GH II thread, worked like a charm for me and others I know!

    I have the 95055 and have had no probs yet, friend of mine has the 95065 model and that has a faulty whammy bar, so it's not just one product line that has a problem.

    Yeah, that's the thing. I have no idea if my whammy bar is one of the unlucky ones or not as I have no idea how to use it correctly. I'll try BE's thing when I get home.

    CorBlimey it's easy to tell if it's working or not.

    Just put on a song with some long notes near the start. (R.A.T.M : Killing In The Name Of - for instance). When holding down the note, move the whammy bar in and out, if the note bar on screen fluctuates like your movements (like a wave) then it's working. You can hear the pitch go higher and lower too as BE said, but if you're new to all this it might be easier for you to see the difference on screen than to try and listen out for it.
    Try it a few times and if it works every time then the controller should be fine.
