How to Connect Rockband Guitar to Wii Without Dongle
This page serves as a guide for the compatibility of various controllers with Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and other software. This information was available on Rock Band's official website, but as of July 23rd, 2014, the Rock Band website is no longer available[1]. However, the compatibility lists are still viewable on The Internet Archive[2]. All of the information from that webpage has been compiled into a chart below. This page also provides information on what parts for the controllers are compatible with other controllers, such as cables or battery covers.
The Guitar Hero Live guitar only works for that game and Clone Hero.
