How to change the button colors for the Guitar Hero Controller.

How to change the button colors for the Guitar Hero Controller.
Well, att first I wanted to change the colors of the buttons on the controller around to confuse my friends, and I didn't know how. Then this is how this instructable was made. I decided to make my controller buttons rainbow colored. This instructable will in no way damage the guitar, it just changes the colors up. The buttons will not change the game either, all the buttons will stay the same. (Green, red, yellow, blue, orange.)

Items needed: Screwdriver.
Common sense. Don't be an idiot and break your controller.
Eggs.
Milk.
Wait, don't get those last 2 items.. wrong list.

LET'S START.

I did this with my Guitar Hero 3 Controller, and my family is looking at me with very confused looks *laughs* Very nice! Any other patterns you could suggest? I'm not very smart when it comes to creating stuff on my own *laughs* Very nice instructable though!

this will probably only confuse beginner players that have to look down, just like rearranging the keys on a keyboard wont mess up a typist. wonderful Instructable A++

This is pretty cool. You should put solo buttons on it with a costum paint job to match your pick guard.
