Rock band Question

[nesser1981]

Today we bought a used copy of rockband, we have a mic & guitar from Guitar Hero.

Anyhow, when we go to multi player mode it doesn't show that we have 2 things, it only shows the mic, but Sean can use the guitar to select everything, so it works.

Any ideas?

The guitar for RB and GH aren't the same - it might work to select things, but they're programmed differently, I believe...

Which Guitar Hero guitar do you have? And what system are you playing on? There are some compatibility issues between the two games. I know we can't use our Rock Band 2 guitar with Guitar Hero 3, but we can use our Guitar Hero 3 guitar with Rock Band 2. It's crazy confusing.

There's an Official Guitar Hero/Rock Band compatibility chart, that might help. I don't know much else about it.

Yeah, the GH guitar doesn't work with Wii...

hmmm. you should be able to use guitar hero stuff on rock band, but not the other way around from what i understand. i have no clue why it's not working.

We have Guitar Hero III for PS3 and the First Rock Band for PS3.

I just asked this question at GameStop over the weekend. For XBox360, he said that the GH World Tour Guitar is compatible with the Rock Band 2 game, but NOT the RockBand 1 game.

I'd go to/call a Game Stop and ask them for help.

HTH~

Okay, that's why. As far as I can tell, they're not compatible on the PS3. We've got no problem with the 360. Unless they've released a patch for it, it won't work. It'll just see the guitar as a controller. Sorry.
