Things to know:

The animations in H2 call for a slightly different attachment position than previous animation sets.
"Normal" attachments get adjusted and stay put.   The guitar moves to various positions (front, back, behind head).  Each of these positions may need to be adjusted separately.  
There are some tools in H2 to make this easy, especially if you own multiple guitars.

Adjusting your guitar: The Short Version

Many OD Guitars come 2 sizes in the box.  Choose the one that best fits you.
Kids:  SMALL
Most female avatars: MED
Otherwise use the "normal" one (not labeled MED or SMALL)
Wear OD>> H2 Main.   Play one of the Gentle animations on H2.   Adjust your guitar.
Teach your guitar its Front Position:  Touch the guitar.  Find and click the TEACH FRONT button in the blue popup menu depending on your guitar, you may need to click MORE a couple of times to find the button.
The BACK position can also be adjusted.   Once you have it where you like it, find the TEACH BACK button in the blue menus and click it.
DONE.

 

 

If you have multiple OD guitars you really should take the time to read the following Step By Step.  You will save a LOT of time in the long run.

Step by Step: Adjusting your guitar

  1. Wear this HUD:   OD>> H2 Adjust Guitar Position
  2. Choose the correct size guitar and wear it.    Many OD guitars com in multiple sizes.  the normal one, MED, and SMALL.   MED is suitable for medium size avatars and a good number or female avatars.  SMALL is for kids.
  3. On the HUD start the animation Anim 1.   This is the basic strum and left hand position.
  4. On the HUD try the various Position buttons.   These will shift the guitar around and should get you to a position that is close and just needs some tweaking.
  5. Once that looks good, touch the Anim 2 button.  This shifts the hand up higher on the neck.   You may need a bit more adjustment.   The Anim 1/2 button switches between the two animations automatically.  When things look right, proceed to the next step.
  6. Teach the guitar that this is the front position.  Touch the guitar.  Find and click the TEACH FRONT button in the blue popup menu depending on your guitar, you may need to click MORE a couple of times to find the button.
  7. If you have one guitar... you are done.  If you have lots.... read on.. :)
  8. Now its time to store the guitar's position in the HUD.
    v4.x guitars.    Rez (or wear) the object OD>> Poll Guitar Position.  
    v3.x guitars.    Touch the guitar and find the ShowPos button in the blue menus.   Click it.
    You will get a chat message that looks something like: attachpos;<-0.14573, -0.09844, -0.15073>;<-0.13392, -0.06720, 0.24428, 0.95806> .    Do not panic :)  open your chat history window so you can highlight and copy that line starting with attachpos and to the end of the line. 
     
  9. Time to edit the _config notecard inside the HUD.  Again... Do not panic.  :)

  10. You still have the OD>> H2 Adjust Guitar Position attached.   Rigth click it.  EDIT.     Go to the CONTENTS tab.  If you can't see the CONTENTS tab click MORE.   Find the _config file in  contents.   Right click it.  EDIT.


  11. Find the "===BTN;My Guitar Front" part of the config file.   The line below it looks similar to the position information you saw in chat a few moments ago.   Remove the entire "attachpos" line you see in the config file and replace it with the "attachpos" info you got in chat.   Copy and paste is the easiest way. :)    Leave the delay ; 4 line alone.
  12. Close and save the _config notecard.
  13. Close the edit dialog.
  14. Click the OD Logo on the HUD.   Choose RESET from the blue menu.  Wait till you get the message "DONE - READY".
  15. Now when you wear any v3.x or v4.x OD guitar... hit the My Guitar button on this HUD and the guitar will snap into position automatically and learn this as its FRONT position.
  16. If you have a cool BACK position you like... repeat the process and edit the My Guitar Back section of the config notecard.

Depending on how "tweaky" you are, you may also find that you like different positions for acoustic vs electric.   In the config file, copy and past to create another button on the HUD for acoustic as opposed to electric.
