Activision revealed recently that that they will be bringing Guitar Hero to the iPhone and iPod Touch for the first time. Made by Vicarious Visions from the ground up for the iPhone and iPod Touch, the app will have avatar customization, Facebook postings and leaderboards, and the ability to download new tracks using an in-game music store.

“With Guitar Hero for the iPhone and iPod Touch, we are once again leveraging our leadership position in the music/rhythm videogame space to deliver an all-new Guitar Hero experience that millions of people around the world can enjoy anytime, anywhere,” said David Haddad, Chief Operating Officer for Guitar Hero. “From our headliner set list in the base app and forthcoming song packs to the innovative new social integration and guitar shredding gameplay mechanics, Guitar Hero will let players experience and interact with music in all-new ways.”

The Guitar Hero app costs $2.99 and comes with six songs, while six song packs with three tracks apiece will be available at launch for $1.99 each.
