That would require specific coding of software in the game to handle the input over bluetooth and accept it as input. It's funny, when GH3 on the PS3 was announced, people said the same thing about the original guitar not being bluetooth. It's the path that they chose for Guitar Hero, so if you want a peripheral to work with their game, you have to go by their rules.

When contacted about it, RedOctane spokesperson Bryan Lam said it had developed its own wireless solution so it could launch in time, because currently Bluetooth tools only cater for the Sixaxis controllers.
This was later confirmed by Rock Band developer Harmonix, which stated its first-generation of guitars would not feature Bluetooth. Let's hope a USB wireless dongle-hub is provided so all instruments can be played at the same time, then.
Some observers feel the hold-up is due to Sony not issuing adequate tools to allow third-parties to make use of the Bluetooth connectivity. Others suggest RedOctane and Harmonix looked to develop their own technology because of Sixaxis connection problems in the past.
