This is a series of music video games where players use guitar-shaped peripherals so as to simulate the playing of bass guitar, rhythm guitar or lead. The instruments are usually played across a number of rock songs. The players match notes that are on the screen to the colored fret buttons on the controller. The controller is then strummed to the music so as to keep the virtual audience excited and also to increase scores. The idea behind the game is to feature of the real guitars such as using whammy bar to change pitch of the notes, fast-fingering hammer-ons and pull-offs.
