Activision has finally confirmed that Guitar Hero World Tour will be accompanied by the rumored touch-sensitive guitar controller that adds a touch pad below the five standard fret buttons, allowing players to “mimic a slap bass” and tweak sustained notes.

The company added that the game would support all previous guitar controllers and that it will not be compatible with existing downloadable content for Guitar Hero 3.

It was also disclosed that Billy Idol and Foo Fighters will be in the game, which will contain 85 master tracks. The game, so far, features the following confirmed bands: Sublime, Linkin Park, Van Halen and The Eagles.

Guitar Hero 4 is due out this Fall on PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.
