Why doesn't my guitar hero 5 controller work with guitar hero2?

Bought Guitar Hero 2 on clearance. I've had Guitar Hero 5 and Guitar Hero: Metallica for over a year now and didn't have a problem with the guitar playing either, but it won't play Guitar Hero 2. Anyone else have this problem?
Answer:

That's just how it is. In order for the software to move forward, the hardware had to move forward too. In some cases, this meant you lost backwards compatibility.

Because Guitar Hero 2 wasn't designed to use technology from the future. Kind of like how PS1 can't play PS3 games. + you can get a used guitar hero 2 controller for pretty cheap I assume.

This is sorta a suggestion to what you were told in the 1st answer. You should buy a guitar hero 2 guitar from ebay.
