No, it's just 360 and PS3. Buy it!

I did enjoy Rock Band, but to be able to plug my own guitar in sounds excellent. Can you make up your own stuff? What sort of guitar lessons are included in the game? I hear there is a 'free' mode where a backing band plays along to you whilst you play whatever you want.. this sounds great as I've been practising guitar scales for improvised soloing....
The game may be marketed towards learning the guitar but it's definitely suitable for more experienced players. The lessons are optional but the only reason to maybe play through them would be to learn the notation the game uses for the different techniques.
There's nothing that allows you to create songs but there is Session Mode, which allows you to play along with a backing band. It's great fun to play and there are so many options, from type of scale to what kind of backing band you want.
Some of the songs are fairly simple, such as Blitzkreig Bop by The Ramones, but then there's Satch Boogie by Joe Satriani if you want to test your skills!
