How to Sync a Wireless Guitar to a PlayStation 3

The ̶0;Guitar Hero̶1; and ̶0;Rock Band̶1; music simulation game series notably use guitar controllers. These controllers are used to simulate playing the guitarist or bassist role in bands. Most games for both series are compatible with both brands of controllers on the PlayStation 3 (PS3). Wireless guitar controllers must be synced to the console before they can be used to play the game. This is a short process that only needs to be done the first time the controller is used on an individual console.
