A quantum leap forward in immersion and realism, GH Live is a live-action experience that delivers the full emotional roller coaster of being on stage and performing in a real band, in front of real crowds, who dynamically react in real-time to how well or poorly you play. As the lead guitarist, you play an array of songs that span the changing musical landscape, in a variety of venues, from the smallest club stage in front of a hundred people, to the massive main stage of an outdoor festival in front of a hundred thousand people.

Guitar Hero Live also introduces GHTV, the world's first playable music video network. GHTV is a 24-hour mode that lets fans play along to a continually-updated collection of official music videos - across a wide variety of genres - from the newest releases to favorite hits. Fans can pick from multiple channels and themed shows, discovering new songs as they play, and can also choose songs to play on-demand. In GHTV, fans can also play with their friends in the same room and against players from around the world to see who has the highest score on a given song, while completing challenges along the way. GHTV is a living, breathing platform that serves as an ever-growing source for new music discovery while further bringing the party atmosphere back to the living room.

‘Classic Rock Fest’ is available on GHTV’s Premium Shows as the second addition to the ‘Guitar Hero On Tour’ three-part series.

This week’s show includes the following bands:

• Cheap Trick – If You Want My Love
• Iggy Pop (who is currently touring Europe performing at multiple festivals and shows) – Five Foot One
• Jane’s Addiction – Just Because

There are two additional premium shows live on GHTV:

Summer Tunes

• Cheerleader – The Sunshine Of Your Youth
• Walk the Moon – Anna Sun
• The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Until The Sun Explodes

Indie Fest Special

• The Strokes - Taken For A Fool
• Kurt Vile - Pretty Pimpin'
• Passion Pit - Carried Away

Players will have one more week to play ‘Indie Fest Special’. Stay tuned for the final show in the ‘Guitar Hero On Tour’ series ‘Summer Rock Fest’ coming to GHTV on 17th August.

Each show will be added to the GHTV library where players can choose to play these songs and hundreds of other songs on-demand.

The breakthrough innovations in Guitar Hero Live also extend to mobile. Both GH Live and GHTV are fully playable both on consoles as well as tablets and mobile phones.

Guitar Hero Live enhances the gameplay experience by introducing a modern, redesigned guitar controller, featuring two rows of three buttons that better reflects the way people naturally play. The new format ensures fun for players of all abilities. For beginners, you can feel like a rock star by mastering play with just the bottom three buttons. Medium-level players don't have to stretch their fingers down the neck of the guitar controller anymore and can instead skillfully play two-row combinations that mimic real chords. Experienced players have a new challenge in creating complex chord-like shapes and finger combinations that will bring new thrills to veterans. This simple innovation makes it easier for beginners to play and harder for veterans to master.

Music variety is at the heart of the game. Guitar Hero Live takes the approach of the modern music festival, with rock, folk, EDM, hip-hop, country and pop acts sharing the same stage. The game will feature hundreds of playable songs from a diverse array of artists, including The Black Keys, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Gary Clark, Jr., Green Day, Ed Sheeran, The War on Drugs, The Killers, Skrillex, The Rolling Stones, The Lumineers, Carrie Underwood, Pierce the Veil and Blitz Kids, with many more bands to be announced...
