How do you calibrate a Wii guitar for optimal performance?
Calibrating, what a difficult word! Sometimes the game tells you that you're completely off, and that's why you keep losing! Don't worry, this might mean that your guitar is not quite in sync with your Wii and needs calibration.
Here's how to calibrate:
1. Select Quickplay --> Single in the menu
2. Choose an (easy) game and try to play along with the rhythm
3. Press the plus button on your guitar to enter the options menu
4. Select Options --> Calibrate lag
5. Increase the audio delay by 20 ms
6. Press the red button to continue playing; see if you can now play along with the rhythm correctly. If it still doesn't work, you can adjust the audio delay further or also adjust the video delay.
If your Wii still thinks you're missing the beats after calibration, it might be more about your sense of rhythm, and it could be time for Mario Kart Wii or um... Super Mario Galaxy?
