.GUITAR INSTRUCTIONS

The instrument is attached to the "Spine". Whenever you decide to use another attachment spot (ie: the "chest") you must setup the instrument positions again (see the "HUD INSTRUCTIONS").

The HUD is full perm so you can add your own animations or modify the graphic. Look at the "HUD INSTRUCTIONS" to discover its functions. *** MAKE A SAFETY COPY BEFORE MODIFYING YOUR HUD!!!

Wear your "Pick Beerbaum" (only if you need sounds): the pick must be worn to use the HUD "Sound" menu. It is attached to the "right hand", change the attachment point or move it away from your hand (ie: inside your body) if you don't like to show it.
The Pick comes full mod, you may rename, delete or add new sounds and full length songs and they will pop-up in the "SOUND" menu. *** MAKE A SAFETY COPY BEFORE YOU MODIFY YOUR PICK!!! *** You may edit your Pick rezzing it on the ground (pay attention, it is small!). Look at the "Play! iT Engine HELP" to figure how to add new sounds and songs.
