How to Hook Up Guitar Hero for Wii

"Guitar Hero" is a four-player music game that uses modeled instruments to simulate playing the real thing. Unlike the "Guitar Hero" games on other consoles that use standalone peripherals, all versions of the Wii "Guitar Hero" games require a synced Wii Remote to operate the guitar and drums. If you're using multiple guitars, each guitar must be connected one at a time. Once connected, you must enable each instrument in-game in the game modes that support them.
