No they don't but you can buy them later from wal-mart or something ;D
yes they will but you will not be able to use the pro modes with the old controllers
Short answer yes. Long answer *XBOX 360 ONLY*: all Guitar Hero controllers work with all Guitar Hero games. All Rock Band controllers work with all Rock Band games (the Pro Guitar will only work as a regular guitar due to lack of coding in Rock Band 1, 2, Green Day, Beatles, and LEGO). All Guitar Hero controllers will work with ALL Rock Band games. Rock Band controllers will NOT work with Guitar Hero 2.
Rock Band 3 is already released. It is now available on the Wii, PS3, XBOX360 and DS. It features Rock Band Pro mode with more realistic controllers that require more practice to use. It is also compatible with existing Rock Band and Guitar Hero controllers. It received high reviews and was praised for its varying and poppy soundtrack. Pick it up at any video game department or store.
Yes. However you will not be able to use the Pro Mode feature, because it is not available in Beatles Rock Band.
Yes, you just will not be able to use the Pro Mode.
About $50 even
Yes it does. The 1/8" jack is close to the MIDI output on the RB3 Mustang Pro Guitar.
Nope. The pro controllers they're releasing have special sensors in the neck so it can detect where your hand is. Real guitars don't have that. Rock Band 3 hasn't been released yet, and we don't have an official word yet. It may be possible to use your own guitar with a standard guitar-to-USB device. Even if this does work, you won't get the screen feedback showing where your hands are. That's what the special sensors are going to do for you.
It definitely does, but being able to play keyboard helps with Rock Band more. If you have played Rock Band and then start playing you will have a better understanding of rhythm and your fingers will be more up for the challenges ahead.
New answer: The cymbals will not work out of the box with the rock band 1 drum set, but there are ways of modifying the RB1 drum set so that they can use the cymbals. See the link below. Old answer: http://www.instructables.com/id/Mod-Rock-Band-2-Cymbals-for-Electronic-Drumset-or-/
If they are from the same gaming system (like the Wii), then they should work. However, the pro guitar and keyboard do not because they are not any songs with that part on those game discs.
No! You will need to have the model designed specifically for Rock Band 3. Other guitars without the touch detection in the neck or a way to interface with the xbox 360 will not work.
