Rock Band guitars SUCK!!! 

“So if you do it in a hurry it slaps. So don’t do that. Even though I just did. I don’t really care this guitar isn’t really that great so I don’t really give a shit” What an absolute legend.

Who knew Michael Cera was so passionate about Rock Band

Maybe the reason why Harmonix won't fix your Rockband 2 guitar is because the controller is for a game that came out probably 12 years ago.

I love the Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock guitar. have had it for years and still works perfectly.

I love this video because it starts with him being calm and he just starts getting angry and swearing every 3 seconds half way through lmao

Rock Band 4 just came out last year, why would they make a new game? They did exactly what you said, made a new game and made the old songs work on it. I wouldn't expect Rock Band 5 anytime soon. They are currently working on Rock Band VR though.

I see a lot of people hating on the RockBand guitars but I’ve had 0 problems with the ones I’ve collected over the years. Harmonix, in my opinion and experience, have produced great and more authentic looking/feeling guitars over the years. I was a bit skeptical making the switch to using RockBand guitars since I’ve used the Xplorer and Gibson Les Paul for most of my life, but now that I have I can’t go back. Sure I’ve had to take time to adjust to the different strum feeling/no strum sound and slightly wider frets but I would have to adjust if I came from RB to GH guitars if it were on the other hand regardless. I guess it just comes down to taste. I love playing standing up, jumping, moving my body and jamming out as if I were on stage as opposed to sitting down stiff as a stick and have had no problems playing or FCing songs on any game, same as with the Xplorer guitar. For me, the switch to RB from GH guitars was for better aesthetic and nicer looking instruments, more authentic feeling instruments, and quieter gameplay (no fret or strum sounds which greatly help put you into the atmosphere of the game). Everyone has their reasons but those are mine. I’d love to hear what you guys use and why as everyone is different and have different tastes.

I always used my Explorer Guitar for easier gameplay. It’s wired to make tilt or overdrive/star power easier, the buttons are a little loose to make fast fretting simpler, and it can strum fast notes more easily with the little loose strum bar can make it work, and stays connected forever. It makes scoring much easier with it. No joke. Will always use it on a regular basis, no matter what. Tried a Rock Band 4 Guitar before for Rock Band 4, but I had many issues with it. My hand couldn’t figure out the frets, the strum bar is too tight to hit notes, that just made it confusing for me, and I’m never playing Rock Band 4 again. I stick to playing Lego Rock Band, or Rock Band 2 all the time.

@Sergeanrpope can you show me how to install a jack to use drum pedal

The little knob is called the pickup Switch. On a real guitar it switches which pickup it is turned on.

So I thinking about getting rock band... Would you recommend it?

Can i play guitar hero GUITAR on rock band games?

Harmonix just doesn't have it anymore like they used to back in 2007-2010

Anybody kno where to get rb4 guitars for ps4 or how to repair one that’s broken

2:06 Guitar Hero Live is on Xbox One. That's what I have it for. 2:31 Wireless Guitar Hero guitars have detachable necks, not Rock Band ones. 3:16 You can shim the neck in order to keep the neck from wobbling. I have the Jaguar for the Xbox One and it's not that drastic on mine. 4:44 I have the Stratocaster for the Xbox One and I haven't had any issues with the battery life.

How do you connect a guitar hero guitar to rock band 4 on Xbox one

I have the problem of I hit the note it still misses.

I love how you’re like cmon harmonix, make a new game already……. It’s been 5 fckin years since then jesus and that’s just for when rivals released. So sad to see this genre fading away. I’m just glad I still have 2 guitars one of the original ones and I just recently got a Jaguar for only $150 shipped to me so I’ll keep these forever as long as they don’t make another game

for a computer repair channel these guitars could use your expertise.. Rock Band 4 guitar has firmware. Rock Band 2 guitar can be taken apart pretty easily and cleaned with ease. I did these and I have three beauty guitars now and its 2021!

So the only issue was how the neck rattles a bit and that automatically makes it suck?

Activision: we’ve taken down all dlc and guitar hero is still better. Harmonix: we’re still updating our song list with new songs and you can still import other rock songs from other rock band games. Activision: shit.

Myself and others have learned that the rubber on that Guitar Hero 5 controller melts. Everything is a sticky mess now.

Is this for Xbox 360 kinect?

My RB2 Strat from 2008 still works pretty much flawlessly with Guitar Hero World Tour on PC, and I used that thing for years of consistent Expert play across the whole GH/RB catalogue on XBox. It was my drum controllers that consistently failed, I had the RB2 and GHWT kits and those pads just aren't made for long-term play unless you're careful. Sadly I never got back into music games until recently so any chance of playing RB4 easily with all my XBox DLC and exports is slim. I see Jaguars go for $150 used on the low end, and the legacy adapter starting at $300. It's sad that Microsoft can't be bothered to tend to a legacy hardware issue that literally prevents a game from being playable unless you have hundreds of dollars. They could very likely release an official adapter for maybe $40, or outsource it to a company that still exists. I bought a few dud Strats online because they're usually cheaper (my Taylor Swift GH5 Wiitar was a lucky find as well, I use it with the Raphnet for GHWTDE) and with Strum Fix Plus from ByteArts they're excellent if you like the smoother fret buttons of RB controllers. The replacement is super quick and easy if you're careful not to strip any screws.

Lmao the orange button part had me dying

If you have not watched Acai’s or Derpferdler’s video on RU-vid about New Guitar Hero and Rock Band controllers coming soon from the tweet from Hyperkin to get them hyped up to make more of those to be cheap and in markets worldwide, highly recommended to check out that either one of those videos on RU-vid and spread the word about it. I promise you won’t regret it. 😉 Might not be the right time now to tell you, but it’s a big announcement from a tweet that I have to spread the word out to, including you.

my stock fucking strat controller on my xbox one wouldn't even stay synced to my xbox and mad catz or whoever the fuck wouldnt even replace it. im gonna get one of these and hope i dont have the same problem. drums and mic have worked fine as fuck

How much is the guitar

6:37 I'm guessing you've only ever played GH: Live.

I had the PS3 guitar hero 3 controller for years, that shit was flawless until I achieve being good on expert and killed the strum bar on modded guitar hero 3 pc songs, stills working but the down strum doesn't work anymore

Old video but how tf do you connect a 360 guitar to the xbox one

Yeah man, I got a guitar with Rock Band 3, and so many of the keys broke within a month, whereas I still have a GHII guitar (Which I use A LOT) and it's running almost perfectly. Blue button is having a little bit of problem on sustain, but nothing terrible.

Lol I Only Play GH3 But I Learned That My Gutair Is A GH2 One

I respectfully dissagree

One thing I’ll give rock band is theyre consistent with new songs being added.

jaguar sucks but regular guitars are fine idk why they thought it would be cool to make it fold

are u gonna get the new fortnite guitar?

Despite how bad these guitars are they are extremely expensive to buy for ps3

Just found this video. Been playing since GH. No joke. Still play RB4 Rivals every weekend. Have a collection of guitars to say the least. As well as spare parts. *eye-roll* The connection issue on the RB4 Rivals guitar is REAL! Happens at least 3 times during our 10-12 hour play sessions. Of course we take breaks....dah. I have fixed my guitar several times and adjusted the keys for better contact, no contact or sporatic lost contact. Broken strum bar and detector. Whammy bar issues. ECT Overall, I would say after millions of button hits and hundreds of hours of gameplay............... they have held up pretty good. The "jitters" in the song tracks are the WORST! It's as if the video and sound are fighting to match up. It usually stops, but sometimes, as with most computer programs, it "glitches" and jumps dramatically or locks up completely, forcing a restart of the game. 😡The investment into our groups entertainment has been significant. Microphones, drums, guitars.... Including the RB3 Electric Guitar, Keyboard and two Digital drum kits. If anyone has tried RB4 on the PS5 please let me know. I doubt that there will be another RB, so keeping everything working or finding fixes, spare parts, new (lightly used) instuments is always on my radar. Keep on Rock'n!

Guitar Hero guitars aren't perfect. My GH3 guitar didn't get much use and random buttons will stop working sometimes, but usually orange (It's usually only one button having problems at a time, like red will work half the time but the others will work perfectly and then it's a different button).

mines doesn't fucking wiggle at all

Have you heard about the GH WOT Guitar?, strum bar sucks, whammy bar is to long, its clunky. Starpower button sucks ass.

Yale I been stuck this shity rock band 4 guitar for years and I still have it. it's the worst guitar I have ever used in my life. Back then we had a guitar hero guitar and it was the best goddamn guitar I've ever had 😭

Be grateful that you have it they don’t make them anymore

HE'S THE ANGRY GUITAR HERO NEEEERD, HES THE ANGRY ROCK BAND NEEEERD, HES ANGRYYYYY RHYTHM GAAAAME NEEEERD

You seem kinda pissed off through the whole video...but I definitely agree with you. Right from the start, GH has been making FAR superior instruments than RB. Even comparing the RB drums to the GH drums (ones from band hero/WoR) GH really has a quality instrument, where as the RB equivalent just feels cheap. They have that dollar store toy quality, like where you're afraid it's gonna break without warning. I've been using my GH Red Schecter (the one in your video) since 2009 when I got it with GH5 and to this day it has never had a problem. No over-strums, no dropped notes, nothing! A lot of people praise the Les Paul, which is a good guitar, but the Red Schecter is without a doubt the best guitar controller you can buy. Not to be confused with the Sunburst Schecter from GHWT......that guitar is alright, but the Red version is an overall improvement on that with a rubberised texture and much more reliable strum switches.

I know the struggle

tbh rock band 4 sucks as a whole. the old games are so amazing and so are the guitars and I've had 0 problems with my rb3 guitar but the rb4 guitar SUCKS. and also the game has a strum limit (you can't rapidly strum) which is just terrible.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I FUCKING AGREE

I use a xbox360 xplorer for GH3,GH world tour,GH5,GH warriors of rock

um: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aXqN4b_SILs.html

DONT SAY SHIT!!! kidding its so cool to swear hehehe im not telling mummy i wached this videeo liked ^~^

This video is fucking hilarious lol

No if I can get a rb1 guitar for $60 with dongle I will buy it

He probably just broke them and is complaining over nothing

Great video! Ignore all these newbs in comments.

this dude says the rock band guitars sucks buys 3 guitars... extreme bruh moment or the parents of this dude are cousins

Buddy just Play Clone hero 🤣 You will never get another rockband or Guitar Hero at this point

One thing I’ll give rock band is theyre consistent with new songs being added.
