Many other "Rhythm Game" controllers may work, however these are memes and not recommended in the slightest. There is no official support for these, and we kindly ask you avoid seeking help in the discord for any issues you may encounter with these. The core gameplay of the Guitar Hero games is a rhythm video game similar to Konami's Guitar Freaks [39] and to a lesser extent Harmonix's previous music games such as Frequency and Amplitude. The guitar controller is recommended for play, although a standard console controller can be used instead. [98] [99] However, the guitar controller has been required for play ever since the inclusion of drum and vocal parts in the series. The game supports toggling the handedness of the guitar, allowing both left-handed and right-handed players to utilize the guitar controller. [98] [99]

In this section, we will explore how to test the functionality of the drum set within the game, provide troubleshooting tips for common issues, and discuss potential compatibility challenges between specific games and drum sets. Testing the Drum Set’s Functionality If the note or chord is a sustain then you must hold all the indicated frets without releasing. During this time, your score increases by 25 points per beat while the sustain lasts. Be aware, chords do not compound the sustain score, holding 1 fret or more will always increase the score by only 25 points per beat. During normal gameplay, there are many note types that may appear. These notes all expect different actions from the player and may change their visual appearance depending on which instrument being played.
