Revision as of 15:54, 17 November 2015
GHTV is an online game mode in Guitar Hero Live. GHTV contains music videos of songs that can only be played over the Internet and new songs are added to the GHTV setlist over time. GHTV can be accessed at the main menu or by pressing the GHTV button on the Guitar Hero Live controller at anytime.
Music
Playing through songs in GHTV grants the player coins that the player can spend to buy things in GHTV, as well as experience points that allows the player to level up (max level is 20).
Music Channels
Music channels in GHTV are played all day, every day, with songs streaming non-stop. Certain type of music is played at certain time in each channel every 30 minutes. Players can freely join in a song that currently playing in a channel and play the current section of the song all the way to the end, competing each other for first place. Players can earn coins and experience points by playing songs in music channels without having to spend Play Tokens.

Music Catalog
Besides playing songs in music channels, which are played randomly, players can choose songs they want to play in GHTV. However, choosing a song you want to play costs a Play Token unless if you have a Party Pass active. No Play Token refunds are given to players who quit during a song and the player doesn't earn coins or experience points from quitting.
GHTV Premium
GHTV Premium songs are songs that can be accessed a played by either spending Hero Cash, playing three songs that are required to gain access to the premium song setlist, or obtaining a Party Pass for the day. However, GHTV Premium songs don't last forever and will be replaced from new songs from time-to-time.
Players who have pre-ordered Guitar Hero Live had free access to Avenged Sevenfold's live recorded songs including Shepherd of Fire", "Buried Alive" and "Nightmare" in GHTV Premium[1][2]. However, these songs were removed from GHTV and were replaced on November 5, 2015, which was two weeks after the game release.

Hero Powers and Upgrades
Hero Powers
Hero Powers are the replacement of Star Power. In GH Live mode, Hero Power acts like Star Power as in the multiplier is doubled and it increases the crowd appeal but Hero Power cannot be built up with the whammy bar during a Hero Power phrase.
In GHTV, there are all sorts of Hero Powers with Clear Highway being the default Hero Power in GHTV. Players can unlock and buy other Hero Power Packs in the Store but unlike Clear Highway, which has infinite uses, the other Hero Power Packs have limited usage and activating a non-Clear Highway Hero Power will consume the selected Hero Power's usage. Before the player starts playing a song, the player selects which Hero Power to use but the player can change Hero Powers at any time. But if a player's chosen Hero Power runs out, the player's Hero Power will automatically change back to Clear Highway.
When a player levels up and unlocks a new Hero Power, the player will get 5 or 10 of that new Hero Power for free.
| Level | Icon | Power | Price | Effect | Note(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Clear Highway | None | Removes all immediate notes from your note highway instantly. The notes are counted as hits, which adds to your score, score streak and score multiplier. | Default Hero Power; infinite quantity. | |
| Dial Up | 280 coins for a 5-Pack | Temporarily increases the frequency of notes that appear in the note highway (via increasing difficulty level), therefore giving you a chance to increase your score. | Hero Power sections are disabled while using this on Expert difficulty. Upon unlocking, the player is given 10 free Dial Ups to start with. | ||
| Dial Down | 280 coins for a 5-Pack | Temporarily reduces the frequency of notes that appear in the note highway (via decreasing difficulty level). This is especially effective during difficult portions of the song to maintain a big score multiplier. | Hero Power sections are disabled while using this on Casual difficulty. Upon unlocking, the player is given 10 free Dial Down to start with. | ||
| 13 | Double Multiplier | 350 coins for a 5-Pack | Your score multiplier will double for the duration of the Hero Power. | This is essentially Star Power. Upon unlocking, the player is given 5 free Double Multipliers to start with. | |
| 15 | Safety Net | Holds your multiplier and score streak at its current value. | -- | ||
| 17 | Invincibility | Temporarily hits all notes, and missing notes do not register. | -- | ||
| 19 | Score Chaser | Maximum score multiplier is temporarily doubled. | -- |
Guitar Upgrades
Guitar Upgrades helps players to earn more points in GHTV songs, which can also help players to get more stars quicker. Guitar Upgrades unlock at Level 6. Each upgraded can be further upgraded three more times but costs a lot of coins to upgrade them.
- Level 2: 6,000 coins
- Level 3: 9,000 coins
- Level 4: 15,000 coins
| Icon | Upgrade | Effect | Note(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Hero Sections | Adds more Hero Power regions | -- |
 |
Base Score | Increases the score for each note | -- |
 |
Max Multiplier | Increases maximum multiplier | This is similar to Multiplier Extender from Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. |
 |
Multiplier Speed | Multiplier increases faster | This is similar to Speed Freak from Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. |
