How to Use the New Guitar Hero Guitar with the Old Game
A major feature of the "Guitar Hero" series is the ability to play the game with an imitation guitar controller. New guitar controllers are sometimes released with a new "Guitar Hero" game and for the most part they are backwards compatible with the rest of the series. There are exceptions to this rule, but it depends on many factors, such as the console you play the games on.
