The interface is similar to other games in the BEMANI series. Two ''note scrolls'' - one for each player - are displayed at the left and right sides of the screen.

Two ''note scrolls'' - one for each player - are displayed at the left and right sides of the screen. Videos for each song are displayed in the center of the screen. Each note scroll consists of columns: one each for the red, green, and blue buttons (the XG/GITADORA series also has two extra columns for yellow and purple buttons), and another column, known as the '''Wailing Bonus''' column. Individual notes and chords are represented by small colored bars that scroll upward in the columns. To play the correct note, the player must hold down the buttons corresponding to the colored bars, and move the fret lever when the bars reach the yellow fretting line. When a guitar icon is displayed in the Wailing Bonus column along with an associated note, the player can tilt the guitar upright while playing the note to receive bonus points. | ||
The player's accuracy is judged for each note played. The current system uses the names ''Perfect'', ''Great'', ''Good'', ''Poor'', and ''Miss'' to indicate a player's accuracy. Ratings of Poor or Miss will deplete the player's '''Groove Gauge''', while Perfect and Great ratings will replenish it. If the Groove Gauge is emptied completely, the player fails, and the game ends. Players are allowed to play anywhere from one to five songs depending on the game cabinet's configuration, with the ability to earn additional songs in certain versions of the game. | The player's accuracy is judged for each note played.
