Playing Guitar Hero with a Standard Controller

---

All of the Guitar Hero games so far are also playable on the standard controller, in case of the player not having a guitar controller. Unfortunately, this is not possible on Rock Band or Guitar Hero World Tour. The mechanics are completely different, as there's no strumming and there is no Hammer-ons HOPOs∞.
