A popular game for the Playstation 2, the core of the game revolves around timing and rhythym, similar to other such games like Dance Dance Revolution. Achieved popularity due to innovative controller (which is shaped like a Gibson SG) and well recieved reviews from numerous gaming publications. As a simulation, it more accurately simulates being a famous guitar player (rising the ranks from unknown basement shredder to international phenomenon) than actually playing a real guitar. Although the game does include the ability to use hammer-ons and pull-offs, the game utilizes 5 buttons and a strum bar in place of strings on the guitar controller, so more complicated maneuvers are impossible. This has caused a bit of controversy among real guitarists towards people who often play this game, citing that it is nothing like playing a real guitar.
I'm so sick and tired of being bored,
Had it up to here with being ignored.
The kids that walk by in their tired haze,
Lookin' for a place just to have their say:
Gonna be a guitar hero!
We finally got our way!
Gonna be a guitar hero!
Gotta get on stage today!

An awesome, innovative game, that sadly gives tards the impression they can actually play iron man on guitar. Look up guitar hero on YouTube to see what I mean. For this reason, most actual guitarists look down o it, but haven't given an awesome game a chance. Although I wouldn't call it a simulation, it's very far from actual playing guitar.
gamer: OMFG 3y3 KaN PLAY Ir0N MAN 0n t3h G3374r lolzorz!!1!111!!
guitarist: Yeah, too bad a real guitar has 22 frets instead of 5 and 6 strings instead of one. Guitar Hero is for cock smoking fags.
me: Both of you are dumb fucks. Go cut your throats.

Fingering a chick with your index and middle fingers and then twiddling them back and forth like you are stringing a guitar.

A whoreish chick that plays the guitar on her vagina when fucked. Should also be called GH for short.
I banged Guitar Hero last night. GH is a freak!
Guitar Hero sucks at playing her own guitar! She got boo'd off the stage when I was fucking her.
While I was trying fuck Guitar Hero, she started playing Stairway to Heaven on her pussy.

A video game, originally published by RedOctane for Playstation 2, wherein a player uses a controller shaped like a Gibson SG as if it were a real-life, honest-to-God, swear-on-your-mother's-spatula guitar. Much like Dance Dance Revolution, coloured shapes fly atcha - you hold the corresponding coloured button down and strum. That's how complicated it is, really.
Evidently, there are guitar players who see this game as an abhorration of musical performance, as those who do not play guitar can now revel in the virtual panties thrown on their virtual stage. But there's nothing wrong with the game - there are those who play both Guitar Hero and a real guitar, with equal relish... tasty, tasty relish.
The choice is up to you... keep in mind that, however wonderful you and your friends may think you sound, the music industry isn't all that easy to be part of. And no way you can have a problem with playing 'Bark At The Moon' as the fuckin' Grim Ripper.

I am a Guitar Hero. Jimi Hendrix is a guitar hero. But if he could, you know he'd play this damn game.

Def 1: A popular multi-platform game franchise in which you play songs on a psuedo-guitar shaped like a Gibson Les Paul. In the fashion of Dance Dance Revolution, different colored "fret" markers come down the screen at you, prompting you to press the corresponding "fret buttons" and strum the "strum bar" to play the corresponding note(s). Naturally, as with all things that get really popular, really fast, Guitar Hero gets a lot of criticism, mostly from those that have devoted their time to learning to play the real guitar. However, the people that the guitarists are making fun of aren't all those who indulge in Guitar Hero (aka GHero). They are making fun of the...
Def 2: Guitar heroes (a guitar hero, refering to a person). A guitar hero is a person who believes that mastering a song in GHero (or even, in some cases, just being able to play it in GHero) is just as good as being able to play it. Naturally, this kind of mind-set is usually limited to basement dwellers and furrys, but some guitarists think it applies to all those who play GHero. That, naturally, is not the case. All those that truly are guitar heros should, instead, become an heros.

A fun music video game that has gameplay involving you picking a song and playing it on a guitar-shaped controller. However, some people get it in their head that just because they can beat "Through the Fire and Flames" on expert makes them the next Dimebag Darrell. Thousands of YouTube videos prove this. Honestly, if you can play "Iron Man" on expert in Guitar Hero, that's nothing to really be proud of, it just proves you play too much. If you can play flawlessly on a real guitar, on the other hand, that IS something to brag about.
Actual guitarist: Why press buttons on a piece of plastic when you can play the real thing?
Gamer: rofl stfu u n00b i can play through the fire and flames on expert guitar hero so im 90 times better than u roflmao yea what u gunna do bout it
Actual guitarist: Go suck a fat one
