I would just like to say Dig by Incubus has the easiest Guitar Solo on Expert by far.

As for this guide, it would be nice if you could add how to unlock the Endless Setlist and the Rock Marathon's because they don't unlock when you complete the story mode.

So What by Pink was only green, orange, blue yellow. Repeat. Pretty easy. I will try Dig tonight and add it in.

 

 

EDIT:

 

Guide is considered 100% finsihed now.

Man I wish this game had on-line play on it. I'm so close to 1000 and just can't finish since I don't have a third physical body willing to play this piece of garbage. Oh well. Milked it for all it was worth, and finishing it up now while I'm work. Thank you microphone and super easy trick :D

 

Thanks for the guide, helped me decide to rent it, just wish I noticed it had no on-line. I read all off-line but I thought you meant that the on-line ones had an OPTION to be played off-line, not that there was no internet co-op. Guess it was my gross oversight :mad:

 

EDIT: Actually I think your total time listing is horribly off. I've got well over the 20 hours specified for the game. I spent 2 nights at work doing it, so I figure 4 hours a night on it there. 8 + one night going straight at it at home on a night off for 7 hours, then 3 mornings of 3-4 hour gameplay (rounding down to 3) and 7 hours today of letting it run super easy against a mic. I'm pushing about 31 hours now and I still haven't played every gig, done the flawless drumming, Final Countdown solo (which will add time for me since it's complicated) and not had a chance to find a third to aid in the two 4-player achievements to even tack the time for those two on, which I'd assume would be just 4 minutes max if I find people good enough to get 100%.

Hrm, I didn't know that the endless setlist this time around was 30 random songs since I haven't gotten there yet. Just as a curiosity, is '30 random songs' inclusive of DLC or is it 30 random songs chosen from the ones available on disc?
Seemed to use DLC but not all my DLC was used just some of my DLC was used also the game seemed gltichy as sometimes it would switch my language to spanish at the end of the set and kick me out then at the end of the game I am missing a gig so i can't get my final achievment. Any Ideas or do i need to do an entire new play through?

I have all achievements except for the 4 player bands, the guitar solo in Final Countdown, and play every gig...

I am 10 songs in to the Endless Setlist, using Super Easy mode and my TV

I just rented this game on saturday and have logged maybe 14 or so hours on it... Its such an easy game, but some songs are fun, others I want to shoot myself.

Score 100% notes hit as a Guitarist

 

With this game the 100% achievements are a piece of cake. They added a Super Easy mode to the game. Guitar is simple. Vocals are flat. Drums are nothing. And Bass is a joke. You can literally play any song and get these. Easiest song is probably Charlene.

Score 100% notes hit as a Drummer

 

Charlene is again the easiest song, and is a free download from the marketplace. Playing on Super Easy you only have to hit a few notes. If you can play on Easy very well then this achievement is nothing for you. Super Easy has Auto-Kick on and the achievement still unlocks.

 

Here is the super easy cheap way:

 

Play Charlene on Super-Easy. Remember auto-kick is on, so no kick pedal needed. Now never ever use your star power. Because the Overdrive sections for drums take away actual song you dont have to even play those. So it cuts the song in half. Making the ending, which is a line of yellows and reds, very very easy.

 

We Will Rock You is another very easy song on drums. It is just red notes. Simple and easy.

Score a 100% rating as a Vocalist

 

By playing on Super Easy the fan trick works here. You can leave a fan running and get you 100%, even on We Will Rock You which is one of the hardest vocal songs. Again, just play Charlene because it is 1 minute long.

Score 100% notes hit as a Bassist

 

Charlene is very very easy on Expert, so Super Easy is nothing. There are only a few notes, nothing even close to being complicated.

100% a guitar solo on Expert

 

Guitar solos arent the easiest thing in this game. But here is a running list of easy guitar solos:

 

So What by Pink

Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams

Dig by Incubus

 

Well this bit of the guide isn't very accurate, it must be said, here is how I got them, incredibly easy...

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1031/UP25wsU=.jpgFlawless Fretwork 20

Score 100% notes hit as a Guitarist

 

This one is very easy, simply because every song on super easy is... well easy. For this one, I used Charlene and put it on Super Easy. One thing I noticed on Super Easy is, it gives you lots of chances for everything, but due to how the guitar works out, this is harder then the drums in terms of the tactics you can use. Just do a few re-runs but it's so easy on Charlene so don't worry about it.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1031/UPva2Bo=.jpgFlawless Drumming 20

Score 100% notes hit as a Drummer

 

The trick to earning this one is quite straight forward. Play the song "We Will Rock You". Now use the buttons on the drum kit and go on Super Easy, this way the kick drum is done for you and the buttons ensure that you wont double tap a pad. Now what you need to do is build up enough star power so you can get a fill to activate it. On Super Easy it gives the chance for anything, so simply build up the star power, but DON'T use it because then it will keep giving you the fill to do, just miss it out and continue to hit the green and red notes.

 

With a little practice, this one is very easy.

Score a 100% rating as a Vocalist

 

Well I thought this one was going to be so hard! Turns out it isn't, like the guitar and bass, go on Charlene and go on Super Easy, the notes are so easy to hit it wont take long to achieve. Unfauntnatly like guitar you can't use the drum technique as you activate star power differently however with a few practices this is a piece of cake.

100% a guitar solo on Expert

 

Well this one is a lot easier then it seems, I personally find that the song "Swing Swing" by the "All American Rejects" is by far the easiest to do. Go to practice mode and practice the bit before the guitar solo and then the solo, keep repeating a few times to get the hang of it. I found this really hard at first but with about 3 or 4 goes in practice mode on 100% speed I went to do it, I missed one blue hammer on and I currently don't have it, but it is very easy and will only take a maximum of about 3 attempts if that.

to add onto this video, add a link to the thread to "final countdown solo help" for the final countdown achievement to give everybody multiple ways of hitting it. add the link to the thread"practice makes perfect by yourself" too, as it has already helped out many. also, 3/10 difficulty for 1000/1000 is a little low, because the solo gave expert players trouble.

 

sorry if i sound a little mean with this. its a great chievo guide thats almost complete and ready to be made official, so congrats.

really, there is nothing wrong with what is already written in the guide. super easy is a joke, and people without arms can pretty much 100% at least one song on super easy for all instruments. and the "brian may be jealous" achievement is easier on "pink" or "dig", rather than swing swing, so im guessing that you haven't played them yet. in all respect, please do some research on what you are posting because nothing you put down would improve this guide that is written the way it is now.

solid gold easy action achievement

this can be done on we will rock you on bass very easy only green and orange for most of it green orange and blue near the end

 

I tried this song and even activated star power on it, 100% notes but didn't get gold on it. Anyone know if there is a specific score needing to be had?

 

I did this in free play for the record if that matters...

 

Thanks.

try getting the optimal path from a youtube video or something or look on scorehero to find the score needed to gold star it. songs are gold starred by score, not by an fc of the song. also, free play doesnt matter.

 

you can also try the "charlene" method on any instrument (since they all are easy) and activate immediately to get gold.

There are 3 star power paths on We Will Rock You that work for the solid gold easy action achievement.

 

Activate at 1/2 full (ie 2 sections of white notes) and 3/4 full (ie 3 sections)

Activate at 3/4 full and 1/2 full (same as above just other way around)

Activate at full and you pick up the last 1/4 on top.

 

You do not want to activate at 1/2 and 1/2 as this means you don't get to use the last 1/4.
