How to: Play Guitar Hero with a Real Guitar


Follow us on Twitter!! twitter.com Live: www.ustream.tv Guitar Hero is a great game but something about it is lacking realism. We have found a way to use a real guitar during Guitar Hero play. You will need: 1. Xbox 360 Controller 2. 4 Wires cut at 2-3 feet each 3. Soldering Iron (or electrical tape) 4. Real Guitar Disclaimer: This and other videos produced by Household Hacker are controlled experiments performed by professionals and unless you are an expert should NOT be attempted at home if you don't know what you are doing!

WhiiteNoise :

fail at making it look real, if it was hooked up to an xbox 360 controller picking wouldnt be an issue because on the controller if you just hit the button it auto hits the note

jmcgonagle :

can someone please tell me the mane of the song he’s playing

Stephen30002 :

its not the guitar making the electrical response its the wire connected to the pick and the strings that make a complete circuit……….. but he connected his 4 wires to the 4 buttons A,B,X, and Y and thats just stupid…….. you need to use the triggers bumpers and the A key and you would have to make them connect however the buttons complete the circuit when pressed normally on the controller…….. what he did was plain stupid….. connecting the buttons together wont work

Stephen30002 :

Small issue with his controller………… Guitar hero doesnt use the X,Y, and B buttons to play it uses the triggers and the bumpers aswell as the A button…………… so this cant work with his modifications………. different connections would be required

subblime776 :

HEY! I play in a rock band called F3tch, Metallica and Pantera influenced us (you’ll see what I mean,) and we’re playing in LONDON, ENGLAND on FEBRUARY 18TH.

PLEASE check us out, and if you like us come see us!

IF YOU’RE INTO METALLICA AND PANTERA, YOU’LL LIKE F3TCH.

You can hear F3tch on youtube, myspace (url’s f3tch) or facebook.

We’re playing at The Space in the Isle of Dogs in LONDON, ENGLAND on FEBRUARY 18TH, nearest tube station’s Mudchute on the DLR line.

Thanks guys!

CTAT98 :

LOL on easy

alexcstudios :

you sould try to figure one out with the wii

ibanezman007 :

you could just use a metal pick and solder the wire.

CalebWillCreate :

well Im from New Zealand, and there its solder.

oldschoolfan82 :

the first problem I see is you can only 3 strings because of the wires, Yet the game requires you to hit 5.

SBBLITZZ23 :

this guy is a genious

zigzag47591 :

I hope nobody actually ruins an xbox controller on this, its fake and definitly would not work, lol. A guitar string vibrating will cause no electical response to any wire, which means no electic current activating the point on the x box 360 controller.

WarlordLuvzMCR :

It’s silent…It also depends on where you live. Ask someone from georgia to say oil.

CalebWillCreate :

not Souldering either. theres no ‘U’

icezamboni :

i agree it’s soul-der-ing but in some places [e.g. NJ] they say sod-err-ing.

Akashmash :

yeah not sod-err-ing its soul-der-ing

CalebWillCreate :

wow you can pick seperate strings. What about the fretboard? Pretty bullshit if you ask me. and its a SOLDERING IRON, there is an ‘L’ in SOLDER!!

MrPimpnuts69 :

that looks like a good way to get electricuted :S

VedwardV :

i miss boxxy =[

Jinxxed0 :

Not really. This look like it’d take about an hour or so to do everything. If you dont know how to play a guitar you couldnt learn this song in an hour.

But you do have a good point, playing guitar hero with a real guitar is silly, but it would impress friends and family a little. :-B

98dude98 :

THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1.)say the name of the boy/girl u like twice 2.)now say? the name of your best friend 5 times to yerself 3.)now post this onto 5 videos and then press f8 and then ur crushes name will appear on the screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? THIS ACTUALLY

SharpmyPencil :

On the time it took to hack it anyone could learn to play the song on a real guitar.
Just saying

yourlineofire :

it can’t be that obvious if people are telling him to “play a real guitar”

ostritchman101 :

@yourlineofire
nobody likes people that point out the obvious

dropkinn :

wheres the 4th wire go to?
