Rock Band & Guitar Hero Instrument Compatibility Guide

[admin]

Rock Band and Guitar Hero are two games we enjoy very much at Audioholics. But there are four platforms for the game, a number of instruments, and now third party hardware. Add it up and you have a compatibility matrix worthy of the best mathematicians in the country. We wanted to know what instruments would work with what games... and on what platforms. Unlike the gaming industry, which thinks I actually care about the hardware or which brand of game I'm playing, I'm all about the MUSIC. If I am an Aerosmith fan I want to pick up my guitar and play Aerosmith. I don't care whether or not that band signed with Harmonix or Activision. I may care that they left off some of their greatest songs and that the game doesn't allow me to play drums or sing...

Very good writeup, it takes the mystery out of what works with what.

I have Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band and Rock Band 2 for PS3.
I think the Les Paul guitar is the one that came with GH3.

In the list, it says the Les Paul is not compatible with Rock Band 1 and 2, however I can verify that it does work with both Rock Bands. I like to use it as the bass

I was pretty sure this was the case as well.

(at least for me) The Les Paul controller is 100% compatible with Rock Band 1 & 2 on the PS3.
