I dunno about a guitar, but they did mention the fact that you could hook up a real mini keyboard with an adapter that they will be making and use that, so the guitar might actually be possible too.
Probably not (although I had the same thought). The big requirement is for the MIDI output, which will likely require an analog-digital converter. The RB3 MIDI adapter converts the MIDI signal to controller input, which is why you'll likely need the specific guitar...until someone makes a MIDI converter box for a regular guitar (if it doesn't already exist).
Wow, a real guitar? Would you have to buy a special guitar for it to work?
Wait... is that what mertesn is saying? You'd need a guitar with MIDI output?
I've always wanted to play guitar, but been too lazy/self-defeating to pull it off. This sounds like a darn fun way to do it, with friends playing along, no less.
You can't use just any real guitar for RB3, but a special real guitar model from Fender (likely followed by a Gibson) will do dual duty as a controller and can be amped, either at the same time you play RB3 or independently.

Keyboards are way more difficult than I ever expected.
