Good stuff!

Do any of you guys use a wireless guitar? Been thinking about getting one but I've received mixed reviews.

I have one. I use the GH3 one (not sure if RB has one...I use my GH guitar for RB). It uses batteries, which sucks (not the rechargeable packs you can get for controllers). Yet it is so much better than tripping over the cable.

As for guitars in general I hate the partitions on the RB guitar, so I stick with the GH one.

Try getting a REACT guitar instead of just a wireless. I've seen two wireless one's go down already. The black ones. The react guitars are built nicer and the buttons are more precise. The strum bar is a lot more accurate as well. Not to mention they come with a star power pedal,and a whammy bar pedal.

Okay, review time.

I picked up Guitar Hero: On Tour "for my Daughter:paranoid:" and I have played a few songs on it.

First impression, its for women and children. Not due to difficulty or the playlist, but the size of the fretboard buttons. My ring, middle and index fingers cover all four buttons. Pressing just one of the middle buttons for a guy is damn near impossible.

Mid way through Spiderweb by No Doubt, my hand started cramping. Its just too small for an adult guy that doesn't have itty bitty chick hands.

My daughter's review:

BEST. GAME. EVAR!!!!
