How to Get a Universal Guitar to Work on PS3 Rock Band

There are a number of different "rock band simulator" games available for the PlayStation 3 and other game systems, but most instruments are not cross-compatible between the PS3 and other platforms. If you have a universal guitar, it is designed to work with multiple game systems, and setting it up with your PS3 is easy to do. Once you have set up the guitar, it will not only be recognized by the "Rock Band" game, but others as well.

Instructions

  Flip the guitar over and remove the battery cover by pressing the tab inward and pulling the cover toward you. Insert the batteries by aligning the positive and negative ends of the battery to the markings on the guitar. Replace the battery cover.
