Rockband TrackPack I recently got a wii and I enjoy playing guitar hero world tour but i purchased rockband trackpack. The guitar I have has a hole for the wii remote. Every time i load Rockband Trackpack and want to play on the guitar, I have to scroll using the remote and it thinks i am using a microphone and wont let me play. My friend said i should use the guitar to select and i tried that but it wont do anything.

    I recently bought the game, I connected my controller to the Guitar, but the menu controls were for the remote, not the Guitar. I tried to play now and it required me to connect the mic. I know the remote is connected to the guitar because it works for my other rockbands.

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!

To play any instrument, you navigate the menus with that instrument, not necessarily the Wiimote. You describe a Guitar Hero controller with the cut-out for the Wiimote.

Rock Band and Guitar Hero instruments are NOT compatible on the Wii. They are compatible on the 360, the PS3, and the RB drums for PS2. Activision went their own way with the Wii and made life difficult for all of the aspiring musicians on the Wii. Sorry.

All you need to do is put the connecter in the connecter hook. Then, press the blue button on the end of the guitar. If it still doesn't work, try putting new batteries in.

Rockband guitar & guitar hero

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.

Can't use drums for rockband on guitar world tour

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.
