How to play Guitar Hero/Rock Band

The music games of Rock Band and Guitar Hero are games within themselves. Music video games are a whole new genre of video game. Introducing thousands of people every hour to new bands, songs, and genres of music, this game is the mainstream of video games today, up there with Halo, Sims, and Mario. But, still, not EVERYBODY is a gamer (like me :D). For those who want to actually figure out how to play Guitar Hero or Rock Band, this guide will provide you with the information and techniques needed to make yourself look like a Rock Band or Guitar Hero veteran :D.

Requirements:
Guitar Hero and/or Rock Band (There are 14 versions of Guitar Hero available. There are two version of Rock Band available. Each available on Wii, PS3, PS2, and XBOX 360. Pick one. This guide will cover the Full Band mode as well)
An operational hand
OK Hand-eye coordination
Gaming System: Wii, PS3, PS2, Xbox 360, Cellular Phone, DS/Lite.

Step 1 The Instruments.

There are four playable instruments in Guitar Hero and Rock Band. The Lead Guitar, the Bass Guitar, the Drums, and the Vocalist. The guitar peripheral is compatible with both the Lead and Bass guitar parts of a song. However, while each Rock Band game can have full band mode, only Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Metallica can have full band more, the previous guitar hero installments cannot. Each instrument controls their respective track in a song, and cannot be altered or changed. The difficulty can, but the track cannot. Each game of Rock Band and Guitar Hero comes with either a Guitar and game copy, a Guitar, Drum Set, Microphone, and game copy, or a Drum Set and game copy. (Please note that the drum sets come with their own drum sticks).

Each instrument track has four difficulties for Rock Band (Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert), six difficulties for Guitar Hero (Beginner, Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, Expert+). The Beginner and Expert+ difficulties are only available on Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Metallica, respectively. Details on the difficulty of each instrument will be included in the Guitar and Drums section of this instructable.

quick note about the Rock Band guitar it has another set of notes at the "Bottom" of the neck (nearest the base of the guitar).

you forgot 1 thing and its the solo buttons on thestratocaster guitar. during a solo in rockband if you have a stratocaster you can use the smaller fret buttons and not have to strum in a solo.

 You should add the new game DJ Hero,it's pretty good.
I'd be happy to provide any information about the game.Just message me.
But then you would have to change the title.
