I have Wii Rockband guitars that won't work in Guitar Hero.

It may not be usuable in the wii rockband game

The 2 games are not designed to be cross compatible. The last I heard the 2 companies that make the games have no plans for it either.

you need the guitar that comes with rockband as far as i am aware. what system are you on? what is plugged into the system via a wired connection. what is wirelessly connected to the system?

Unfortunately, the guitar that comes with the Guitar Hero does not work with Rock Band or Rock Band 2. Rock Band, as you mentioned, recognizes the Wiimote as the controller for the microphone.

Unfortunately, you will have to get a guitar that is specifically designed for Rock Band.

I know this isn't the answer that is popular, but if you vote for my solution, please vote at least "Thanks for Trying".

Thanks for using Fixya!

Make sure that the guitar is on by the switch on the back of the guitar.

They are not compatible. The Rock Band 2 instruments are supposed to be compatible with Guitar Hero World Tour, but Rock Band and Guitar Hero III instruments don't work together.

The instruments for Rock Band and GH:WT are compatible on the PS3 and the Xbox 360, not the Wii. Blame Activision, the creators of GH:WT - they went a different route with hardware for the Wii that made things incompatible.

won't work

guitar hero and rockband insturments will not work for the opposite game. however, if you have the option to return the guitar hero guitar, there is a guitar that is universal

I think that rock bad comes with a special guitar that is for rockband so you cant use the guitar hero guitar on rockband SAD but true. check out ebay for another rockband guitar I had to do the same.. unless we are in the same boat and I was wrong!
