What is Guitar Hero ?

The Guitar Hero series allows players to experience the thrill of playing lead, bass, and rhythm guitar across numerous rock music songs. Using a guitar-shaped controller, players match scrolling on-screen notes to colored fret buttons, strumming in time to the music to score points and energize the virtual audience. These music rhythm games aim to emulate authentic guitar playing techniques, including the use of hammer-ons, pull-offs, and the whammy bar. Featuring both single-player career modes and competitive/cooperative multiplayer options, the series has spanned multiple platforms since its debut in 2005, with notable installments such as Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Guitar Hero Live
