How to Connect My Rock Band Guitar to My Wii to Play Guitar Hero

There are several different music games you can play on the Wii gaming system. They include "Rock Band," "Rock Band 2," "Guitar Hero," "Guitar Hero World Tour" and "Guitar Hero III." These games let you play songs from groups like Aerosmith, Smashing Pumpkins and Beastie Boys to name a few. You can play as either the lead guitarist or bassist in a group or as part of a band that includes a drummer, singer, bassist and guitarist. To play the different games, you will need a Wii guitar. You can save money by only having to buy the game instead of the game and instrument bundle.
