The Guitar controller connects to my wiimote, and then I can use the bluetooth built in to my laptop to play Frets on Fire with a guitar-like thing. Awesome fun, and very Linux friendly. Debian and Ubuntu users can just apt-get the cwiid driver (you need the wminput package) and use the configuration from here:

# wiiguitar profile for FOF
Classic.Down=KEY_ENTER #Strum
Classic.Dpad.X = ABS_X
Classic.Dpad.Y = ABS_Y
Classic.LStick.X = ABS_HAT0X
Classic.LStick.Y = ABS_HAT0Y
Classic.RStick.X = ABS_HAT1X
Classic.RStick.Y = ABS_HAT1Y
Classic.A = KEY_F1 #First Fret starting at top of wiiguitar
Classic.B = KEY_F2 #Second Fret
Classic.X = KEY_F3 #Third Fret
Classic.Y = KEY_F4 #Forth Fret
Classic.Minus = BTN_SELECT
Classic.Plus = BTN_START
Classic.Home = BTN_MODE
Classic.L = BTN_TL
Classic.R = BTN_TR
Classic.ZL = KEY_F5 #Fifth Fret
Classic.ZR = BTN_TR2

I have that saved as ~/.fof and just run sudo wminput -c ~/.fof before i start frets on fire. Fun!

Back to practicing!
