The logic of the controllers are on ICs that last for a very long time. The mechanical bits go bad much sooner, and can be replaced with almost identical parts

The verse part of Everlong was so off

the reason your guitar overstrums is because the reelback from the springs inside the switches themselves propels the strum bar to pop back into its neutral position with a bit too much force, causing it to either up strum or down strum inadvertently. the tape just decreases the distance in between the down/up strum and neutral position, which decreases the force exerted on the spring and thereby decreases the reelback on the other switch. ive found that all you need to do is replace the springs inside the switches with weaker springs and voila, no overstrum :)

I thought about it myself too when I took my overstrumming switches apart but didn't bother to test new springs. Good to know it works. I have many overstrumming xplorers but all the les pauls are fine. I wonder if they used different springs in the production, the switches I've soldered off of xplorers aren't nearly as rigid as Les paul switches.

Where do you recommend getting said springs? My Wii guitar has always been overstrummy but recently it's gotten ridiculous. Can't even play the Soulless 4 intro (yes, the slow 4 notes part) without it overstrumming 30%+ of the notes for reference.

@@0dayExploit keep in mind that not all overstrum issues are the same; the reelback from the springs is the most common issue, but there are other less common overstrum issues where the switches themselves actuate more than they need to randomly. ive found that the only way to fix THAT issue is to just replace the switches altogether.

Thanks for the awesome guide, just opened up 2 guitars like those and everything was perfectly matching yours even including a piece of hair inside. I must saying that it's a wonder most of those guitars still work to this day considering how cheaply they were assembled with pieces of hot glue and solder all over the boards

Thank you so much! I actually play guitars and i also love GH series. I was almost 1 year without playing due to my guitar doing overstrum and your method workerd after adding a second layer of tape! Nice work!

If the strumbar switches are too sensitive on your guitar, you can place some paper thin plastic washers in between the circuit board and screw holes to slightly increase the distance between the switches and the strumbar. You can either swipe them from other electronics that you have, or you can buy them online.

Thanks for the video UKOG ! I'm going to try it today and hopefully I don't dun goof up

Again, nice tattoos Ukog.

You are doing God's work my friend.

Watched these back when they first came out. Recently been trying to get better with an actual fucking guitar instead of an Xbox One gamepad. My strumbar on my GH5 Wiitar just started overstrumming like hell. Looks like these are finally going to come in handy.

I've been using a rest stroke technique to avoid over strum. Takes some right hand precision but it seems to work well. Essentially I'm never letting go of the strum bar so it doesn't slap back and over strum. But I've played guitar for 15 years so I'm not sure if that concept seems weird in the CH community.

thanks for tutorial🙏 btw i'm from indonesia & i love guitar hero🤟

12:38 this guy is taping down tape with more tape lmao 😂

Interesting! I've been repairing my guitars for probably 6 years or so now, and I never knew about this. Another solution, which is what I use, is strengthening/replacing the springs within the switches themselves! If you're able to solder, before you solder on the new switches, open them up and either A) double up the springs by taking a spring from an unused switch and placing it inside the first spring or B) outright replacing the current spring with a stronger one (though, you don't want a spring with TOO much tension!) I use this solution as it eliminates 100% of all overstrums, though it makes raking significantly harder (borderline impossible tbh). You can even do this without removing your current switch, though it's a little trickier because getting the switch put back together while it's still on the board is a bit irritating lol. So yeah, there's another way to do it! Either way, really awesome to see someone in the community make a nice in depth repair/mod tutorial for everyone! Hope we'll see a soldering tutorial in the future :)

If you have a overstrum guitar just encourage it, lubricate the metal bar and remove the rubber pads, and the foam pad inside the strum bar

One of you vids did and I thank you for the help

@UKOGMonkey, these guides are beautiful, and all of them about.. Les paul. So, if you had that problem, I think you should take a look to this thing and how to fix it. I'm taking about XBox360 backlash Les Paul problem - when some buttons is going dead cuz' of neck you can pull off. I have one, and there's a hardcore, when backlash kills me in the moment, where I need to use orange fret, but it is off! There's some cleaning, using paper or using the duct tape, and sometimes it really does not works at all. Also I like to look how you can fix another issues, like the classic guitar controllers (SG, X-Plorer) or Guitar Hero WT/5 controllers (Genericaster). It will be interesting to everybody, and so useful.

Will watch this later after work, but will this help with an xplorer guitar? The only issue my xplorer has is strumming down doesn’t register but strumming up does.

Late comment but I had that happpen to my xplorere. I put the case together and pinched a cable between the screw poles and chopped the yellow frets wire off, but luckily it was an outside wire so I spliced taht wire with a copper whire I got from a scrap cord and it has been working ever since.

What if you have switches that need replacing? Where do you go about doing that? I have a world tour guitar that needs switch replacement

love these videos

ooh, is the music from the floppatron? Also, such an easy fix for a very annoying controller problem. I wonder if that'll help with my xbox 360 controller that if I recall does/did a double up motion or something similar.

Thanks for the video man. It helped alot, tho even after 4 layers of tape my guitar still overstrums. I think i have to mess with the buttons.

After this, will I’ll be able to de rake strum with two fingers? Or raking will be a no for the guitar?

What if the guitar isn't strumming enough? What if it skips some strums when you're strumming? How would you go about fixing something like that?

Would completely removing the analog stick cause any issues other than a gaping hole where it used to be?

1:31 I agree that is insane

looking at the electronics of the guitars they seem pretty simple, maybe i could make som custom boards and switches

UKOG, don't know if you'd read this considering how old the video is, but any chance you know how to modify the frame to move the select / start button to compliment lefty's? It's a pain having to shift my hand to hit the button rather than making it easier with using the thumb

Hey UKOG, have you ever dealt with controllers that don't sync to the dongle? Specifically the PS3 Les Paul controllers? If so, have you ever fixed this on your own?

in the US, Warranty stickers are not legal to enforce. You can remove it and the warranty is still valid within the original manufacturer's dates.

Ive used this method for years and it works great forsure but I started using super thin insolation tape instead of duck tape a few years ago. Omg i highly recommend it if you're someone like me who lives in an apartment with paper thin walls. Its the best dude. Doesn't change the play feel of the strum bar, works magic for overstrumming, and I can play to my hearts content without waking anyone up. Fucking changed my life hahaha
