Summary: My wife tells me this is the best gift I've ever given her
Comment: I don't know if this is a compliment of me, or not, but my wife says that the BandHero stuff is the best gift I've ever given her, and we've been married for 8 years.
In any event, this guitar lets you do 1 of 2 things with the base band hero kit:
1) You can play competition with 2 guitars
2) You can play 2 guitars in a band --- one on bass guitar, the other one on regular. This would give you 4 players --- 1) microphone, 2) drums, 3) bass guitar 4) regular guitar.
Standalone means no software. They sell this with software if you don't already have it.
And this is compatible with Band Hero.

Summary: Compared to the other Guitars a great price
Comment: I bought this guitar for a gift for someone that had a pirated version of the Guitar Hero but no Guitar to play. Since the guitar was on their wish list and I knew how much fun the game was I decided to buy a Guitar. I went to Amazon and saw there were numerous guitars and most were more expensive but were the new styles. As this was a gift price was the motivating factor and I am not disappointed. The guitar is used by two pre teens a 10 and 12 year old and they have played daily for the last 6 months. Not one complaint and my fears that the guitar would not work on a pirated version of the game were unfounded.
The guitar works fine and has taken a beating by the two kids who play it daily.

Summary: 3 bags full
Comment: I was concerned about the compatibility of this guitar with Rock Band for the wii, based on conflicting reviews, but it plugged right in and worked without any difficulty.
