Guitar Hero 4 Create-a-Song and drum details
Very exciting details have now been confirmed! As we had already revealed Guitar Hero 4 will add drums and vocals just like Rock Band. The pre-released issue of the Game Informer article that featured GH4 is now out and includes a shot of the drum kit that includes three pads, two elevated cymbals, and a pedal (as opposed to Rock Band’s four pads and a pedal). Which means that the new Guitar Hero 4 kit has one extra input than the Rock Band equivalent - compatibility between the two series’ instruments may have problems. The Guitar Hero 4 drums pads are going to be wireless and they will be pressure-sensitive so the game can tell if players are rocking out too hard by hammering on the drums or merely tapping them.

As for the Create-a-Song feature it now appears to be called studio mode, which will give players a variety of ways to create their own songs. Players will, as normal, be able to jam along with one of the game’s tracks, record songs as they’re played, or meticulously detail note charts (similar to Guitar Hero Explorer?). You will also be able to share the songs they create. Initially you’ll only be able to upload five songs for others to enjoy, but if those tracks are rated highly by other users, the creators might “get signed,” raising the cap to 10 songs or more. Ingenius!

Guitar Hero does not teach you how to play guitar any way. I am working my butt on a real guitar, while you are pressing buttons. Now that is just not fair. But I think it will totally destroy Rock Band. They should put Velvet Revolver in Guitar Hero 4. But I think it will be a huge hit. I love to play Guitar Hero and I rock at it.
