Introduction
You can make a guitar hero using materials you have in your house. You’ll be strumming your favorite songs in no time!
You know you have those old guitar hero controllers around the house that you don’t use anymore. Or maybe you just want to learn how to play on a real guitar without dropping $100+ on a new one. Well this guide is here to help!

You’ll need:
- Guitar Hero Controller (any version will work)
1) Find three halved rulers, two rubber band balls and some tape.
You need to find three halved rulers, two rubber band balls and some tape.
- The first step is to find three halved rulers. You can use any size you want, but they should all be the same size.
- Next, find two rubber band balls. These will be used as the buttons on your guitar controller, so make sure that they are big enough to hold down the buttons of your game console when it’s strapped on your body!
- Tape is needed because it’ll keep everything together while you’re playing your game!
2) Tape two of the halved rulers into a cross formation. Tape it very well, as you are going to be strumming on this later, and it needs to hold.
Once you have your two halved rulers taped together, it’s time to tape them into a cross formation.
You can do this with masking tape and a lot of patience, or if you have some of that black duct tape lying around, use that instead. The key is to make sure the guitar holds together well; you don’t want it coming apart as soon as you strum it like some cheap imitation instrument made by china!
3) Tape the other halved ruler onto the middle of the cross formation. Again, use lots of tape so it holds.

4) Tape the rubber band balls on the ends of the top ruler (the one taped onto the middle ruler). These are your frets. Your new guitar string will span between these two frets.

- Cut off a piece of yarn, and tie one end around one of your rubber band balls so that it hangs loosely down in front of it. This is where you will place your new guitar strings (or whatever other objects you decide to use).
5) Tie a long piece of string or yarn between your two frets and cut it so that both ends are even with each other. Make sure you leave slack in your string or else it will be impossible to play!
- Tie a long piece of string or yarn between your two frets and cut it so that both ends are even with each other. Make sure you leave slack in your string or else it will be impossible to play! You can use a piece of yarn, or if you don’t want to mess with fibers floating around on the strings, use something like twine from the hardware store.
- Once the string begins to stretch across your guitar neck, tie another piece of string at each end as close to one another as possible without having them touch each other (this will prevent any tearing). Then loop one end through the hole and pull through until it reaches the opposite side where it should be grabbed by one hand while playing notes on top fretboard for easy access during gameplay sessions.
