Owner's Manual
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha Easy Guitar (EZ-EG)! For maximum performance and enjoyment,
please read this owner's manual carefully before using your EZ-EG. When you're done reading the
manual, please store it in a safe place – along with the warranty card – for future reference.
G Supplied Accessories —
Please check to make sure that you have the following accessories:
• Tremolo Arm • Strap • C-Clip x 2 • Pick • AC Power Adaptor • USB-MIDI Interface UX16 • Safety Precautions Document • EZ-EG Song Chord Chart, Warranty Card
Power Supply
You can use either the supplied AC power adaptor or batteries to power your EZ-EG, but we recommend that you use the
AC adaptor whenever possible.
Using the AC Power Adaptor
q Make sure that the EZ-EG power switch is set to the STANDBY position.
w Plug the DC plug of the AC Adaptor into the DC IN 9V jack on the EZ-EG.
e Plug the AC Adaptor into a convenient AC wall outlet.
• When powering the EZ-EG from the AC mains use only the supplied
PA-D09 AC Power Adaptor! The use of other adaptors can result in
overheating and damage, and can pose a fire hazard. Damage
caused by using an AC adaptor other than the one supplied with the
EZ-EG is not covered by the warranty.
• When you're not using the EZ-EG, or when there is danger of a
lightning strike, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the AC
mains.

Playing the EZ-EG
When you're set up and ready, turn on the power and play!
Power On & Play
1
Turn on the power & adjust the volume.
Rotate the [STANDBY/ON] switch to the ON position.
While playing the EZ-EG strings rotate the [VOLUME] control to set an
appropriate volume.
[VOLUME] Control
[STANDBY/ON] Switch
• Make sure that the [VOLUME] control is set to the MIN (minimum)
position when turning on the power. Also make sure that external
amplification gear is off when turning the EZ-EG power on.
• Avoid touching the tremolo arm while turning the power on. If the
tremolo arm is not in its neutral position while the power is turned on
the EZ-EG may not play at the correct pitch.
• A very small amount of power is used by the EZ-EG when the
[STANDBY/ON] switch is in the STANDBY position. Be sure to
remove the batteries or unplug the AC Power Adaptor if you will not
be using the EZ-EG for an extended period of time.
• Don't force the STANDBY switch or VOLUME control past their
maximum "stop" positions.
• The "YAMAHA" name will scroll across the EZ-EG frets when the
power is turned on. You can stop this by simply pressing any fret.
2
Play chords.
Form a chord with your left hand (the frets you press will glow red), then
play the strings with your right hand.
• Strings that are sounding can be muted by lightly touching the strings
with the right hand while touching the metal section on the back of the
neck with the left hand.
Selecting Different Sounds
The EZ-EG includes 20 different guitar, bass, and other instrument sounds.
Choose the sound that best suits the song you're playing and your playing style.

Using Batteries
q Place the EZ-EG face-down (string-side down) on a soft surface, and
remove the battery compartment cover.
w Install six 1.5-volt "AA" size, R6P or equivalent batteries in the battery
compartment, making sure the polarities (i.e. the "+" and "-" ends of the
batteries) are arranged as shown in the diagram.
e Close the battery compartment cover.
• If batteries are installed and the AC power adapter is connected to the EZ-EG,
the AC power adaptor supplies power to the EZ-EG rather than the batteries.
• Alkali type batteries are recommended for maximum battery life and performance.
It is a good idea to change the batteries before they run too low to
maintain proper operation. When the batteries run low the output vol-
ume of the EZ-EG will be reduced, the sound may become distorted,
and the displays may not light properly.
Please keep the following points in mind when changing batteries:
• Be sure to observe the +/- polarity markings, and install the batter-
ies with the proper orientation. Improper battery orientation can
result in overheating, fluid leakage, and possibly fire.
• Always replace all six batteries at the same time. Don't mix old bat-
teries with new. All batteries must also be of the same type – never
mix alkaline and manganese batteries, batteries from different man-
ufacturers, or different types of batteries even if they are from the
same manufacturer. Doing so can result in overheating, fluid leak-
age, and possibly fire.
• Remove the batteries from the instrument if you won't be using it for an
extended period of time. If the batteries are left installed they will gradually
run down, and may possibly leak fluid that can damage the instrument.
Connections
• Make sure that power to all external
devices is OFF when connecting the
EZ-EG to avoid possible electric
shock and damage to the equip-
ment. Also, start with all volume con-
EZ-EG
trols turned down to minimum to
prevent possible damage to speak-
ers and other playback equipment.

G Using the Tremolo Arm
By raising and lowering the tremolo arm you can raise and lower the pitch of
notes played. Pressing the arm toward the body lowers the pitch, while lifting
the arm away from the body raises the pitch. Use the tremolo arm to add
expressive bends to your playing.

Lower Pitch
Using the CAPO Function
The EZ-EG's virtual capo functions in the same way as a normal guitar
capo, "stopping" the strings at the specified fret. Some guitar songbooks
include capo indications that can make setting this function easy.
1
Press the [CAPO] button.
C 0
2
Select the capo position (fret).
Use the [+] and [-] buttons to select the fret at which you want to posi-
tion the capo. You can select frets 1 through 10. All fret buttons at the
selected fret position will glow.
C 3
• The CAPO setting only applies to the played sound (not to the song play-
back sound).
• Some songs, however, do have a preset CAPO setting.
Tuning
After pressing the [TUNING] button you can use the [+] and [-] buttons to
raise or lower the overall pitch of the EZ-EG in semitone steps up to one
octave. For example, a setting of "-1" lowers the pitch by one semitone; a
setting of "+4" raises the pitch by four semitones (an interval of a third); or a
setting of "-12" lowers the pitch by a full octave. This makes it easy to play
the EZ-EG in any key – to match the range of a singer, for example.
The EZ-EG also provides four alternative tunings which can be selected by
pressing the [+] button beyond the "+12" setting: Drop D, Open D, Open G,
and Open E.

q Frets
The EZ-EG frets glow red when pressed. When the PLAY MODE is set
to CHORD or BOTH, the appropriate frets will glow to indicate the frets
you should press.
• When the CAPO function is used an entire column of frets will glow at the
capo position.
w Control Section
This section includes the controls for the EZ-EG's many features and
functions (details in "Control Section", below).
e Strings
The strings can be played either with a pick or finger style. Strings that are
sounding can be muted by lightly touching the strings with the right hand
while touching the metal section on the back of the neck with the left hand.
r Tremolo Arm
The tremolo arm can be used to raise or lower the pitch of strings that
are sounding. Lift the arm away from the body to raise the pitch, or lower
it toward the body to lower the pitch.
t [VOLUME] Control
Adjusts the overall volume level. Rotate clockwise to increase the vol-
ume, or counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
y [STANDBY/ON] Control
This is the EZ-EG power switch. Rotate to the ON position to turn the
power on, or to the STANDBY position to turn the power off.
