OK here's what we've got on Guitar Hero 3 so far:
The Cover:


The New Battle Mode:
* Broken string: One fret button on the opponent's guitar will not work until it is fixed (by rapidly tapping the button).
* Difficulty up: The opponent will play the song on an increased difficulty for a short duration of time (except for expert difficulty).
* Amp overload: The fret board will shake and appear blurry, making the scrolling notes difficult to read.
* Whammy bar: The opponent will have to use the whammy bar before he/she can play notes again.
* Steal power: This will steal your opponent's power-up (this will be lost if used when the opponent has no power-up).
* Double notes: The opponent will have to play any single note as a two-button chord, and any two-button chord as a three-button chord for a short amount of time.
* Lefty flip: The fret board will be mirrored, requiring the player to switch their handedness on the guitar.
