Cheat your way through ‘Guitar Hero 5′

Stuck on Sultans of Swing? Confused by Comedown? Under pressure by, er, Under Pressure? Those looking for a little help — or added fun — out of Activision’s new Guitar Hero 5 can enter a few cheats to unlock some goodies in the game.

Use your controller to enter these following codes in the Cheats menu (”G” stands for Green, “R” is for Red, “B” is Blue and “Y” is for Yellow).

These codes should work on all console platforms, but keep in mind using them prohibits you from earning Achievements or Trophies (in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, respectively).
