The game is played similarly to other music games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, with the player using either their finger or the stylus to tap along to incoming notes which move down the screen in time to the music. Two different instruments are available; guitar and drums. There are three difficulties: Easy, Medium and Hard. A sequel, Guitar Rock Tour 2, was released in 2009.
