Guitar Hero is a popular series of music video games published by Activision. The first game was released in 2005. The series is notable for its use of a guitar-shaped controller to simulate the playing of music, represented on-screen by colored notes that correspond to fret buttons on the controller. The games support both individual play, as well as cooperative and competitive modes for two players. The game has now began to ripoff Rock Band.

Beginnings
There are several theories as to how the Guitar Hero franchise came to be.
WWII
One originates in World War Two. Near the end of WWII (1944 or so) Hitler was running low on human resources. He went to his top scientists to come up with a solution. Their solution was a very early version of Guitar Hero. While regular citizens were playing the game, they were secretly being brainwashed with propaganda. The plan worked and Hitler's forces grew vastly. Sources say that Hitler promised all his troops cake if that won the war.
In the early 2000s, Harmonix was a major developer in music based video games. In 2004, a staff member learned of the early WWII Guitar Hero and told his coworkers. The first Guitar Hero was released in 2005. Harmonix actually kept the brainwashing technique. However, they tweaked it until the player could not quit the game until they achieved 100% on every song on Expert.
In 2006, Harmonix released Guitar Hero II with great success due to the brainwashing technique. However, the game also became popular in Germany. Shortly after Harmonix was sued by Hitler's Lawyers for copying the game Hitler invented.
To avoid paying millions of dollars, Harmonix sold the Guitar Hero license to Activision. Thus leaving Activision to deal with the legal problems. Guitar Hero III was released in 2007. In 2008, Activision was forced to pay $986,827,093,272,136.17 to Hitler's Goons. Thus Activision declared bankruptcy and was sold off as scrap to Vivendi Games.

- Guitar Hero was developed by Satan/Hitler, With the help of Mickey mouse
Difficulties
Easy
Easy is the level for beginners. Easy has you playing three notes that are separated by 4 beats minimum (there are exceptions ie: Through the Fire and Flames). It is intended for those who are not very skilled at the game, or are starting out. Despite the simplicity of the game play of Easy, every person who starts out the game still finds a way to mess up. Don't believe it? Try Guitar Hero and you'll be like, "wow, I suck..."
Medium
This adds a fourth note that must be played while playing this game. It sounds simple, but the notes are now with in at least two beats of each other. The use of the pinky in Medium also increases the challenge. It is absolutely necessary to have a coordinated pinky to be able to play medium. Medium is meant to frustrate players who thought they were good on Easy only to find out they don't know how to move their pinky, and that their ring finger is even harder to use, since it doesn't cooperate when you try to do the red and blue buttoned chords without moving your entire hand.
Hard
In Hard the game gets hard, adding a fifth note. This requires the player to actually move their hand to hit the proper notes. It often leaves player confused as to what's even being played as they try to figure out whether their index finger is on the green or the red, only to find out it was on the yellow. Hard is meant to frustrate players who thought they were good on Medium only to find out they can't play if they have to move their hands.
Expert
Expert is really hard, and to get to this level you have to have a lot of free time. It's hard where 5 buttons must be pressed, but this time it usually makes you press more then one at a time. The notes tend to be no less then half a beat apart and no more then one beat apart, even when there is obviously no guitar playing, Expert has you mashing buttons. This is meant to be video-taped and put on YouTube so people can call you a loser or envy you at your owning skillz on "Slow Ride."
Those individuals who beat the game at the Expert level have little to no lives. Had they spent half as much time learning to play an actual guitar, they would be in a band, and therefore worshipped by Japanese schoolgirls and worthy of the monicker "douchebag".
Legendary
What, you've never heard of Legendary, you say? That's because the only way to unlock it is by finish every song on expert with five stars and enter the secret code. The secret code was only given to Koreans. The Koreans are loyal, and they will not tell you the secret code, even after long hours of torture. Anyways, though, Legendary mode means you are constantly wailing on the guitar, all the time. When you look at the screen, all you can see are solid notes, for every fret. Most people fail within within 1.23 seconds, because it is proven to be impossible with only 4 fingers. Some people, however, have forced themselves to grow an extra finger out of their love of Guitar Hero. Hellashes, BobDole729, PreistMJH, pdtecej, påL and wuLDe79 are good examples of this.
Legendary was inspired by the Halo games.
Chuck Norris Hard
It has been confirmed that their is a Chuck Norris difficulty in Guitar Hero. However, Chuck Norris himself is the only person who can unlock it. However, Chuck got bored of the game and the people who made the game forgot how to unlock it.
