I just checked out their site. In their forum it says if you have the GH 3 for Xbox 360 all you have to do is buy a wireless receiver for your pc and download a program called joy2key.

I've been running both now for some time, FoF has more songs, but doesnt look as good as GZ.
FoF as mentioned befor, you cannot lose/get boo'd off the track, which kinda makes it no fun.
GZ looks pretty good, and seems to be more on beat. Another great thing about GZ is all the songs have all difficulty levels, whereas FoF usually only have 1 or 2.
GZ has star power as well, but FoF doesn't.
As far as getting the guitar working, I use XBCD driver, http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbcd.html , and have it configured with that. although both are a real pain to properly get working 100% its well worth it.
Here is a video of both in action on my cab.

There is a mod that features the "fail" feature, star-power (referred to as jurgen-power), and crowd noise. I haven't used it though, as it only works with an earlier version of FOF and is in development for the latest version.  There is also a GREAT mod called the RF-Mod with an option for Guitar Hero style graphics, and the thing that elevates this far beyond Guitar Zero IMO, 2 player mode. Split screen, just like guitar hero.

All thats missing now is whammy support. Hopefully that will be implemented.

And a tip, the X-box 360 guitars work PERFECTLY. Just download the drivers off Microsofts site and you're ready to go in FOF. No joy2key, no work-arounds, nothing. Even dual guitars work in FOF with 2 player mode, so you can bet I'll be having 2 of those things hanging off the side of my cab.

Nice I didn't know about the fail mod, I'll look into it
The RF mod is cool, as in my vid, I have the halo theme.
I also forgot to mention no whammy support for FoF, Thanks for pointing that out.
As well, as 2 player support in FoF, that I did not know about either.
