If you have any experience playing the guitar in real life, you already have an advantage as the instrument works in the same way in Webfishing. You need a basic understanding of chords and strum patterns, which translate into the game.

Webfishing allows you to save nine chord shapes, with the number in-game corresponding to the numbers on your keyboard. Click the buttons on the right of the guitar to set a fret. This requirement is because fret 0 is the default noise and won’t result in a note being played.

To strum in Webfishing, hold down the left click and move your mouse across the strings. Strumming right results in strumming down, while strumming left results in strumming up. This covers the basics of playing the guitar in Webfishing, though there’s a lot more to learn.

The fingerstyle is more complicated, but you can just click on the fret and press the corresponding key to pluck, which is set to QWERTY. The corresponding keys and their strings are shown in the table below.

With the basics covered, you should be able to get started on playing the guitar in Webfishing, and the great thing about the mechanics is you can use real-life chords to play tunes in the game. Simply search for the chords to your favorite song and get practicing.
