About
As of 2026, it's 21 years old.
Guitar Hero arrived in 2005 and convinced living rooms full of people who could not play a single real chord that they were, in fact, rock gods. Armed with a plastic guitar and five colored buttons, you 'shredded' your way through actual classics while your fingers cramped and your confidence soared.
It turned solo play into a spectator sport and house parties into battles of the bands, all without anyone learning an ounce of real music.
Loud, joyful, and gloriously fake, Guitar Hero is the game that let millions live the rockstar fantasy using an instrument that does not produce sound.
