Completely new guitar controllers are being developed specifically for this mode.

Although generally any guitar controller will work with a given rhythm game, this is not the case universally.

The following table shows compatibility of various games with appropriate guitar controllers.

However, the guitar controller has been required for play ever since the inclusion of drum and vocal parts in the series.

This marks the first third-party guitar controller for the console.

Any other existing guitar controller can also be used in this mode.

An additional limited-edition full size wooden guitar controller was released at the same time as the game.

The game comes with a guitar controller, a drum set, and a microphone.

The new guitar controller remains backwards compatible with previous games.

The guitar controller is a touch smaller than I would have liked, but pretty responsive.
