My Rock Band 2 wireless Fender guitar controller recently stopped accepting down strokes on the strum bar and the equivalent direction on the guitar's D-pad. The guitar is about 18 months old. I've read several articles online that indicate it could be the microswitch on the strum bar but that doesn't seem to fit with the D-pad also being ineffective.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there an easy fix? I'm adept at soldering, if necessary.
One more thing is required to maximize your score (in addition to 100% accuracy and optimal overdrive pathing that the other posters mentioned) -- you need to squeeze. Squeezing has essentially two methods that allow you to get credit for an additional drum hit.
These techniques don't earn many points (essentially one extra note or notes each squeeze) and can be quite intricate to time ... but are essentialy to earn the very maximum score (greater than merely 100% FC and optimum overdrive usage). Note that a similar tactic is usable on guitar/bass, and is also useful in Guitar Hero as well as Rock Band.
It depends on the instruments.
Here is a really nice compatibility chart that I found when I had the same question.

I helped a friend to fix his Rockband Guitar ... it was very simple ... but we had to cut a little bit the plastic from the strum bar! ... but it WORKED.
Anyways. .. we used this video instructions.
