Playing realistic guitar parts
(Guitar mode)
Your G-70 provides a Guitar mode that allows you to
play extremely realistic guitar parts via the keyboard.
As you will see, this mode relies on a special approach,
which is nevertheless very musical and surprisingly log-
ical once you have come to grips with the underlying
principle.
When you activate the Guitar mode, the UP1 part acts
as main guitar, while the UP2 part is used as additional
guitar that doubles the notes of the main guitar part.
This means that, while the Guitar mode is active, UP1
and UP2 cannot be used for other melodic purposes.
Though, with a little practice, you can also use it in
realtime, the Guitar mode will prove invaluable for song
and Style recording.
(1) Simultaneously press the EASY SETTING [ARR] and
[PIANO] buttons.
