i just bought rockband today and my guitar makes this little rattling noise if i move the guitar even the slightest.
everything seems to be working but is the rattle normal?

I don't think it's normal... maybe something broke off inside? >.<

the rattle is normal, its the tilt sensor for the star power or whatever it is called. if you dont know what im talking about when that bar at the bottom fills half way tilt it and you activate star power

its not a rattle really more of a clicking noise the guitar makes when you move it, if you move the guitar up and down you will hear it, do it slightly though

Don't know if this is the same thing, but it sounds like something that happens to a lot of Guitar Hero controllers too. Occasionally there will just be a small loose piece of plastic or whatever trapped in the controller, and it will rattle around if shaken. It doesn't seem to affect gameplay.
(see 1:14-1:20 in this silly "instructional" video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB1SKlXC9YA) to see what I mean)

there really isnt anything to worry about, if it does bother you though you are covered by a warrenty still, but im almost certain that it will be the same thing
