There are fewer jobs for audio guys (most studios only have 1-4 or so on staff, but i'm sure that number increases for sound-based games like Guitar Hero). So, in essence, you've gotta know your stuff.
As I've mentioned before for the other general roles, volunteering on an internet project is a terrific opportunity, you'll have to learn not only how to create sounds, but how to implement them into a game as well, so this is a good way to learn that stuff. Also try taking an existing game and putting your own sounds and music over it. (modding websites for popular games can help you learn how. As always, Google is your friend).
