Simple question. Are there versions of the game more tailored to younger kids

I bought the setup for my 10yr old with the guitar for like $280 that came with a guitar hero live game. I want him to stay interested and learn some songs that are less metal-ish. He typically listens to country or pop type music. I was just wondering if there were versions that were a little more focused on younger kids. TIA

Learn songs? It's a game.

I'll try to answer, but most Guitar Hero games, from back when, were similar in nature. I don't think there are country music "geared" GH games, to my knowledge.

Oh, and obligatory SouthPark Gif

should've gotten him Rock Band 4.

their DLC store is still up with 100s of songs. but they will soon be phasing them out.

you won't find much within the PlayStation Store, but if you purchase the game for only $9.99, you can access their in-game store and find all kinds of rock, pop, r&b, country, etc. songs. they'll sell them individually, usually $1.99 per song, or they'll have genre bundles or band bundles as well. depending on who/what it is, they'll range from $9.99 to $29.99.


when i get home, i'll snag some screenshots of their offering list.



also, depending on the Guitar Hero controller/guitar, it should work with Rock Band as well. if you want to use a Rock Band specific guitar, you can use the PS2/3/4 guitars all on PS4 and PS5. same with the drums.

I still can't hear "Barracuda" without all of the supplemental clicks of the guitar controller.

Lego Rock Band was marketed with a very family friendly setlist. The heaviest song on there is probably Final Countdown. Plays exactly like the mainline RB games.

You do know that the guitar hero live servers have been shut down for a long time and those guitars are not compatible with any other guitar game?

I have been mulling this over a while. What’s the quick and dirty way to get a setup? Are these even sold in stores? I have an Xbox one and Switch but assuming I will need to find one the cheapest controller first and then hope there is a downloadable game on the store/shop?

I got my 11 year old a real guitar for like 225. Just go with that. They have a ton of apps that you can plug into now.

Don't.

Get a cheap guitar and get him into Rocksmith instead.
