What You Need

Wii Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar (white/black, with touch slider).
Any Wii-compatible guitar: GH3 Wii guitar, GHWT guitar, GH5 guitar, Band Hero guitar, Rock Band 1/2/3 guitar (with adapter), Wii Wireless Guitar (generic).
Dongle: Wireless guitars require their matching USB dongle (synced at factory).

PC Alternative

If you have the GH3 PC guitar, play Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on PC (Steam delisted, but key sites exist) or Clone Hero (free, custom songs, supports almost any USB guitar).

Match the guitar to the console—no cross-platform dongle magic exists.
