When I used my gh controller, the game recognizes it as a regular Xbox controller. Green and Blue (RT and LT on the regular controller) are locked on in-game, pressing the Green button hits Orange (because green is A), and pressing the Orange button hits Red (i assume because it is LB in comparison to a controller.) I can’t figure out why my guitar is being recognized as a controller.
