Difficulties are levels of gameplay used in the Guitar Hero games.
Main series difficulties[]
The four major difficulty modes are:
- Easy ("Casual" in Guitar Hero Live): On console games, only the green fret, red fret, and yellow fret are used. Chords rarely appear. The highway also scrolls notes very slow.
- Medium ("Regular" in Guitar Hero Live): On console games, the blue fret is also used. There are more notes in Medium than there are on Easy, but less than Hard. Chords appear a bit more often. The highway scrolls notes slowly but moves slightly faster than on Easy.
- Hard ("Advanced" in Guitar Hero Live): On console games, all five frets are used but still will not contain every note heard in the song. The highway scrolls notes slightly faster than on Medium.
- Expert: On console games, every note and chord heard in a song will be played on all five frets. The highway scrolls notes moderately fast but good enough to see and react to notes.
Guitar Hero World Tour also introduced the Beginner difficulty ("Basic" in Guitar Hero Live) in which all Easy notes are replaced with a rainbow bar that can be played with any frets or no frets held.
Guitar Hero: Metallica introduced Expert+ difficulty for drums, which enables double bass drum kick notes and—for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock—ghost notes. A second kick pedal is recommended on this difficulty.
Guitar Hero Mobile difficulties[]
In the Guitar Hero Mobile series, there are only three difficulties: Easy, Medium, and Expert.
All three difficulties uses all three lanes. Green notes, red notes, and yellow notes. Easy will rarely have chords. Medium has more notes than easy and may have chords. While Expert has more notes and chords than Medium difficulty, Expert difficulty in the Mobile series does not use every note heard in the song; it's more like Hard difficulty and even some chords heard in songs will be played as single notes.
Backstage Pass titles[]
- "Rehearsal levels" redirects here.
In the Backstage Pass subseries of Guitar Hero Mobile games (Guitar Hero III: Backstage Pass and Guitar Hero World Tour Mobile: Backstage Pass), there is no Easy, Medium, or Expert difficulty for the Rehearse and Fret Frenzy minigames (and other main instrumental minigames in GHWTM:BSP) but there is a form of song difficulty for songs and venues. Learning songs via "Rehearsing" them increases the difficulty of the song and venues of the same stars use their difficulty level.
- Rehearsal levels ranged from 0 stars to 5 stars with more notes added to each level, and each level can be increased by rehearsing the songs at home. Higher Rehearsal levels will gain access to more venues with that song. New songs (Rehearsal level 0 songs) have the least amount of notes and cannot be played at gigs or while busking; they must be rehearsed first while passing high score requirements to level up.
- Rehearsal level 1 songs can be played at 1-star venues (Bars), rehearsal level 2 songs can be played up to 2-star venues (Clubs), level 3 songs up to 3-star venues (Concert Halls), level 4 songs up to 4-star venues (Stadiums), and level 5 songs up to 5-star venues (Festivals). Depending on the level of venue they are played at, the rehearsed songs will play their venue level's difficulty (e.g. a Rehearsed level 4 "War Pigs" played at a 2-star venue will use its Rehearsed level 2 song difficulty).
