How to: Play Guitar Hero with a Real Guitar

In case you want to play Guitar Hero on your Xbox with a real guitar, here's how.

From: HouseholdHacker

Website: http://householdhacker.com

Guitar Hero is a great game but something about it is lacking realism. We have found a way to use a real guitar during Guitar Hero play.

You will need:

1. Xbox 360 Controller
2. 4 Wires cut at 2-3 feet each
3. Soldering Iron (or electrical tape)
4. Real Guitar

Wii Guitar Hero Hack

With a little expertise, you can play your Wii Guitar Hero Guitar like a real guitar, sort of.

From: jbreckman

I hacked my Wii Guitar Hero Guitar so it can actually be played like an instrument, with up to 45 different pitches at my disposal.

I play (with one or two minor mistakes) the verse, chorus and solo to "Smells Like Teen Spirit", by Nirvana, to demonstrate this.
