How to Use a PS2 Controller for Guitar Hero

Developed by Harmonix Music, "Guitar Hero" allows PlayStation 2 (PS2) gamers to play from a list of rock songs of various time periods and genres. The "Guitar Hero" video game was sold as a combo-deal with the PS2's "Guitar Hero" guitar peripheral (controller), so that users could play a complete rock simulation. Harmonix Music did provide a backup for users who don't have a guitar peripheral, but still want to play "Guitar Hero," as they can use a PS2 controller instead.
