One of the most exciting features in Guitar Hero Live is the ability for developer FreeStyleGames to continually add new songs and Premium Content through GHTV—the world’s first 24-hour playable music video network. Premium Content is yet another way players can access new songs and videos, earn awesome in-game items, and hone their skills on the game's newly redesigned guitar controller.

When a new Premium Show launches on the GHTV service, players will have the ability to unlock it by completing a set challenge. To gain access, you’ll have to complete songs and hit a certain star level—Guitar Hero’s system for measuring your performance. So, if you do a great job playing a particular song, you'll gain admission to new Premium Content, such as live concert videos and more. But if you want to save time and get instantaneous access, you can also unlock Premium Content immediately with a simple purchase via Hero Cash. Premium Content also offers unique prizes, like Note Highways, player cards, and more.

Thanks to GHTV, players will always find new ways to interact with music they love--and maybe discover some new favorites in the process. For more on Premium Content, check out GameSpot’s interview with FreeStyleGames’ design manager, Pete O’Donnell. And while you're at it, make sure to check out the ten brand-new tracks recently announced for Guitar Hero Live.
