Rumor: New Guitar Hero peripheral coming?
Our cruel overlords at Joystiq have contacted Activision for clarification on the whole issue. Popular opinion seems to be that it's a keyboard of some type, but we'd like to think the game will feature something a bit more old school, like the guy in the image above. We're just weird like that.

As if I needed another reason to like wiifanboy. You just made a banjo-player/gamer's day!
Seeing my idol saying "No Wai"? Priceless.
My bluegrass band (that I'm trying desperately to convince to play the SMB2 theme in BG a style)

I'm trying to do Mario tunes on my banjo too! You really should do it, that would be wicked awesome!

Sweet, Ive been playing piano for 13 years, been waiting for something like this. If its a keyboard, I'll def. buy the Guitar Hero Set. What do they mean by studio mode? That's not the mode where you create your own music is it? B/c I want to play it with some songs or something.

About 6 months ago, my friends and I had an idea to make a Guitar Hero style game with a keyboard. We drew out the general plan and everything, but our lack of legal and electronic prowess halted everything else.

Mmmhhh... could it be a effects pedal to plug in to the guitar?

Wow, they're just trying to cram everything into GH:WT to make it kill RB2....hopefully it won't lessen the quality though

"specifically for the game's Studio mode."
It's probably a mixer.

Oh ya i think i heard about this! The wii version is getting maracas or something.

If it is a keyboard (which would be my top guess) will it be playable with some of the songs that are heavy on keyboard? (light my fire, in the end)

I say its a mix board.

It's actually the Wiimote itself.
You shake it around and music is made!
