Star Power is activated using the '*' (star) button on the keypad or the 'OK' button in the center of the directional pad. Once the note(s) reach the bottom, the player must play the note(s) by pressing or holding down the number key(s) in order to score points (similar to using the controller on the console versions instead of a guitar). The numbered keys used are '1', '4', and '7' for green notes, '2', '5', and '8' for red notes, and '3', '6', and '9' for yellow notes. Gameplay in Guitar Hero Mobile games was similar to its console counterparts, except instead of 5 frets, 3 frets are used, corresponding to each column of numbered keys on a cellphone's keypad.

In a change from previous games in the series, players are given the option to download MP3 versions of songs via Internet data services instead of using the MIDI versions that come with the game. The mobile version of Guitar Hero 5 was developed for Android, BlackBerry, BREW, Java ME and Windows Mobile platforms. In June 2009, it was announced that Glu Mobile would be developing versions of several Activision titles, including Guitar Hero 5, Modern Warfare 2, and Tony Hawk: Ride for release in the last quarter of 2009. Rapid transitions and simultaneous button presses were included to add difficulty to the gameplay and compensate for the missing buttons. A five button setup-like in console versions-was considered, but testing showed the game to be more entertaining with only three buttons. Accessing other songs requires them to be downloaded via a cellphone network. To reduce the file size used by the phone, only two songs are stored at any time.

Each song was reduced in length to two minutes to maintain shorter, 'bite-sized' gameplay.

The audio files were reduced in file size, but remained multichannel for example, separate channels were used for the guitar track, background instruments and vocals, audience, etc. The audio was taken from the original audio files used by Activision for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

The game graphics were developed in collaboration with RTSoft and MachineWorks Northwest LLC by Anthem Game Group. The game was programmed by Robinson Technologies (shortened to RTSoft) in affiliation with MachineWorks Northwest LLC. The game was originally released on Verizon Wireless, but made available on other cellphone carriers in February 2008.

For the first game, Guitar Hero III Mobile, Hands-On Mobile received licensing from Activision to port 51 songs, two characters, three venues, and four guitars to the mobile version. Originally, the Guitar Hero Mobile series was published by Hands-On Mobile and developed by MachineWorks Northwest LLC.
