Guitar Hero 2 & Controller for Xbox 360

This week I'd like to buy Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s for PS2. I realize that I'm going to have to buy a new guitar controller since I don't think the 360 one will work with the PS2. I don't mind doing this as I don't think having 2 controllers is a bad idea. However, I have a few questions:

1) Is there a controller (3rd party is OK) that could work with both my PS2 and my 360?

2) Is there any way to get a Ps2 controller working on the PS3? If I remember correctly the PS2 controllers use the standard PS2 controller interface, not USB. Is there a USB controller that will work?

    Well, I know that you can buy PS2 to USB controllers. My friend just got one and is playing Frets on Fire on his PC and loving it. I imagine that the 360 wouldn't map the input correctly, but if you have or know someone who has a PS2 to USB converter it would be worth a shot.
