Thought Guitar Hero was just for sweaty fat blokes with futile dreams of rock stardom?

Well, according to Guitar Hero CEO Dan Rosensweig you’re wrong as he revealed nearly a third of the game’s players are – shock horror – ladies.

"A very large group really wants great guitar music, and they don't want us to confuse that,” Rosenweig told Gamepro.

“And there's another group of people who love that, but also love to have more current music, more family music, music more popular for girls -- 30 percent of our players are already girls, and we want that to grow. One of the great things about having a franchise like this is you can really meet all kinds of consumer demand."

Activision is set to release Band Hero next month which includes more tracks by female artists like Taylor Swift, Hilary Duff and KT Tunstall.
