Quick Play mode allows players to play any unlocked track, selecting the difficulty, the character, venue and guitar. In Career Mode, players can earn money from their performances that is redeemable at the in-game store, where bonus content, such as additional songs, guitars and finishes, can be unlocked. Players can choose their on-stage character and their guitar these elements have no effect on gameplay but affect the visuals during the performance. Completing songs in this mode unlocks the songs for play within the other game modes. Guitar Hero's main mode of play is Career Mode, where the player and in-game band travel between various fictional performance arenas and perform sets of four or five songs. Thus, players can strategically use Star Power to play through difficult sections of a song they might have otherwise failed. Activating Star Power will double the scoring multiplier and makes it easier to increase the Rock Meter by playing correct notes. Once the Star Power meter is filled at least halfway, Star Power can then be activated by briefly tilting the guitar controller vertically, or by pressing a specific button on a standard controller.

The player can also earn "Star Power" by playing a series of glowing notes perfectly and using the whammy bar during sustains. A "Rock Meter" tracks the player's performance based on success or failure of hitting notes, and if the meter drops too low the song will prematurely end in failure for the player. The player can also increase a score multiplier by playing a series of consecutive notes successfully. The player is awarded points for correctly hitting notes, chords and sustains. A player using the standard controller simply presses the buttons that correspond with the displayed notes as outlined in the game's manual. The game supports toggling the handedness of the guitar, allowing both left-handed and right-handed players to utilize the guitar controller. Faster series of notes may be played on the guitar controller using hammer-on and pull-off techniques where the player does not need to strum each note. To hit or play a note, the player must hold down the fret button corresponding to the note shown and toggle the strum bar at the same time as that note passes a marked area on the screen. Music is displayed on screen through a series of notes, matching in color and position to the fret buttons, that scroll down the screen on a fret board. The peripheral also has other buttons in order to navigate the game's menus. The guitar peripheral has five different-colored fret buttons near the nut of the guitar neck, and a strum bar and a whammy bar on the body of the guitar. In the case of Guitar Hero, the player may use either the guitar peripheral (a 3/4-scale reproduction of the Gibson SG guitar as bundled with the game, or a third-party version) or a standard controller to play the scrolling notes. The basic mechanics are based on Konami's Guitar Freaks. The gameplay is similar to other music and rhythm video games, in that the player must press buttons on a game controller in time with scrolling notes on the game screen to complete a song. The interface shows the player's score and score multiplier (left), Star Power meter (right), and Rock Meter (bottom right). To play a note, the fret button and strum bar must be pressed when the solid note scrolls through the corresponding ring at the bottom. The game's success launched the Guitar Hero franchise, which has earned more than $2 billion in sales, spawning several sequels, expansions, and other game-related products. Guitar Hero became a surprise hit, earning critical acclaim and winning many awards from major video game publications, and was considered one of the most influential games of its decade. The game features covers of 30 popular rock songs spanning five decades of rock, from the 1960s up through 2005, in addition to bonus tracks. The gameplay is similar to GuitarFreaks, in that the player presses buttons on the guitar controller in time with musical notes that scroll on the game screen. The game features a guitar-shaped controller (resembling a miniature Gibson SG) that the player uses to simulate playing rock music. The game's development was a result of collaboration between RedOctane and Harmonix to bring a Guitar Freaks-like game to United States. Guitar Hero was released in November 2005 in North America, April 2006 in Europe and June 2006 in Australia. It is the first main installment in the Guitar Hero series. Guitar Hero is a 2005 music rhythm video game developed by Harmonix and published by RedOctane for the PlayStation 2.
