I had exactly the same problem in red and yellow buttons. I also initially thought it was the detachable neck. However, the battery was also low at these times. I changed it two days ago and the registering problem was gone. Now, I think more, I remember the problem got worse in time. So, there might be a good chance that the problem might be the battery, not the neck.

is there any way to get a second guitar for the wii, other than buying the game twice?

Yes wait untill 2008 when they will start selling guitars alone.
LTTP commenting on this game though I had it at launch.
I enjoyed it and I think Neversoft did a credible job re-creating the experience of the prior games. Started on Hard difficulty and pretty much sailed though (just completing songs not trying to get perfect scores). I didn't fail a song until the Slipknot song which took 4-5 tries and a visit to the practice mode. I then continued through until I had just, "Raining Blood" and "One" left....which is where I stand today. I decided to go through the game on Medium just to be able to complete one tier and found that too easy to really be fun from a challenge standpoint and the note tracking too simple to give the feel of actually playing the song that you get on the higher difficulties.
Boss battles were "Meh." Didn't love them, didn't hate them. They were just there.
One thing that stood out that was a noticeable difference between the previous games and this one is how the note tracking will frequently have you jumping around between different guitar parts. I first noticed this playing the demo and "Evenflow". I find it quite jarring. It destroys the phrasing, and especially in the songs i am familiar with it just feels "wrong".
People have commented that Rock Band's guitar parts are easier and this is mostly true, though there are exceptions ("Gimme Shelter" for example). I counter this by saying that the RB tracks are also more musical. I think this indicates a difference in philosophy between the games where GH3 is primarily focused on trying to create challenges for the player while RB is more focused on creating as authentic a musical experience as possible given your instruments are basically Fisher Price toys. I don't think either approach is inherently better or worse than the other, they're just different. And I find I prefer the RB approach.

Same here. Seems to be battery related somehow. In fact when I got closer it became much better then changed the battery and it practically went away.
As for boss battles just keep piling power ups and at the end when the boss has the long sequence just unleash everything you got and you win easy.
I don't know if these facts are an indication of where the music market is heading but titles like GH or RB are becoming more and more important to real life bands.
For instance, Metallica's new album has been launched the same day as the new DLC of this album for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Moreover, the DLC tracks have better quality than Universal's retail CDs, with a far better dynamic range.

But wait, there is more! Guitar Hero increases music sales by a big margin, says Universal.

Bands like Aerosmith have increased their sales, too, since GH: Aerosmith has made them more money than any actual Aerosmith album, because of the popularity of the game and its "friendly" nature.

Wow, just saw this post now. I actually bought my Nephews the Aerosmith Wii GH3. Slightly more expensive than the original GH3 but you do get the Guitar in Aerosmith colours.
