Gameplay

Displays

In Guitar Hero: On Tour, both the top screen and touch screen are utilized in this game, along with the microphone (which will be explained later). On the left screen (in a song) is the fret highway, which scrolls down in time with the music, bringing the notes you are supposed to play closer and closer to you. This screen pretty much works like the TV in any other Guitar Hero game. It has a concert in the background (also in time with the music), except on Guitar Hero: On Tour, it shows only the concert and fret highway and not your Star Power meter and Rock Meter.

The touch screen acts as the strum bar in the game, and also works as a display of your score, multiplier, and star power. The touch screen displays the body and a majority of the neck of your guitar. To strum, simply place the pick stylus onto the touch screen and move it (most preferably right, for right handers). The multiplier has 5 dots and a circle showing your current multiplier (2x, 3x, 4x, or none). Each dot represents .2 of the multiplier (not increasing your points at all). When you miss a note, the multiplier is reset. Each dot fills after hitting 2 notes in a row without missing any others or strumming extra. You can activate star power by clicking on the bar that shows your current amount or you can also blow into the microphone.
