I DJ (3x deck techno and breaks too, so stuff that requires being good at rhythms and beat matching) as well as play the guitar and keyboard. I totally suck at guitar hero and other rhythm games.
I'm not saying there isn't any transferable skills what-so-ever but being good at one doesn't automatically mean you have an advantage at the other.

Well. You could say timing =~ rhythm. So yes and no. I'am pretty sure - correct me if iam wrong - that guitar hero pros watch the screen and don't listen to the music. Makes it also easier to adapt to (way) higher speeds than 100%.

Some people play that way, yes. I personally play where I sync myself to the actual music as best as possible. So I have to hear both the music and my controller sounds. I don't know if I'd consider myself a pro player (although I'm a prominent GH2/Rock Band modder) but I'm much better than the average player, when you take into account all players and not just GH community members.
Still, there's an important rhythm element to it. I'd assume musicians or people who have a good sense of rhythm are at an advantage.
