That’s an extremely difficult question to answer, because of the wide variety of software out there for music-making. The only programs that would even come close to what you want are going to be several hundreds of dollars at least. You might research MIDI notation software. It’s completely free, but not /quite/ as fun as Guitar Hero.

I think the closest thing to what you want is something based around sample libraries, but again, they’re very expensive. You’d almost be better off going to Wal-Mart and buying a “guitar” there.

I’m sorry I couldn’t help.

EDIT: Ah, you might try a free trial of something like Mixcraft. It’s the closest thing I can think of to what you’re looking for. Unfortunately, it sells for $ 65, but there is a free trial you could try. If you have a Mac, though, you could always play around with GarageBand.
