How to Use 2 Guitars on Wii Rockband

Released for the Nintendo Wii system in June 2008, the original "Rock Band" video game, developed by Harmonix and rated "Teen" by the ESRB, allows up to four players to enjoy playing together as they jam through many classic and modern rock songs. Players can choose any combination from the guitar, bass, drum and vocal portions of these songs to play with friends.
