| Get 100,000 points in a song | |||
This achievement can be done on any difficulty, easy included, so if you arent that great you can still shread to 100k on lower difficulties just manage to hold streaks and star power when necessary. Can be done on almost any song on medium difficulty or above. K_Dog's Picks: | |||
![]() | 200K Club | 10 | |
| Get 200,000 points in a song | |||
This achievement is a little more tasking than the 100k, easier on medium up but still capable on easy, 100% on easy songs such as Monkey Wrench, Strutter, Madhouse, etc... will probably get you this achievement if your playing on easy, again, keep combos and star power.

![]() | 300K Club | 30 | |
| Get 300,000 points in a song | |||
Best if done on Hard or Expert, this can be challengeing, it requires concentration, good combos, and correct star power locations. Getting a bit more difficult as most would only be able to do this on Expert.

![]() | 400K Club | 30 | |
| Get 400,000 points in a song | |||
Do this one on expert folks, SOOOOO much less work. Some good songs to do this in are: Monkey Wrench, Beast and the Harlot, Freebird, and X-Stream, X-Stream being the easiest.

| Get 500,000 points in a song | |||
Ok, this is where i start telling you to try ALOT, this one is challenging, probably the hardest achievement in the game. There are only 2 songs i know of that this is possible. X-Stream, and Freebird. I have done both, X-Stream is WAY EASIER, but you need to 100% it. It will take a couple of playthroughs before you figure out where to use your star power to maximize your score. To 100% this song you need to master the 3 cord switches such as G-R-B to R-Y-O to Y-B-O and so on. With time and dedication you will join the VIP. K_Dog's Picks | |||

![]() | Yngwie Malmsteen Award | 30 | |
| Get a 1000 note streak | |||
Get a 1000 note streak, "MUST BE DONE IN ONE SONG!!!" So how do i do this you ask? Well 100% Monkey Wrench on Expert (1037 notes) or X-Stream (1337 Notes). USE YOUR HAMMER ONS AND PULL OFFS. I CANT STRESS THAT ENOUGH. HINT HINT HINT HINT For Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs, the tutorial claims you must hold down the other frets ex: to hammer on red you must hold down green. WELL GUESS WHAT..............THEY LIE!!!!!!!!, just press the button like you normally would. How do i Distinguish which notes i can hammer on or pull off?, IF your like me, you have been playing long enough to just judge distances, if not, the hammeronable notes have no black line around the white top. Good Luck!! K_Dog's Pick: | |||

![]() | Start a Real Band Already Award | 30 | |
| Earn five stars on all songs in the Expert tour | |||
Ok this is difficult, for you at least. To do this you need to master EVERYTHING. A suggestion would be get familiar with the song, like know the rhythm and have an understanding of the layout before attempting this achievement | |||
![]() | Rock School Grad | 10 | |
| Complete all tutorials | |||
These are listed in the "Tutorials" section of the main menu. If you pay attention, some of you that are new to the game might learn a few things as it covers basics of notes, chords, hammer-on's, and pull-offs | |||
![]() | Scoremonger Award | 10 | |
| Get an 8x multiplier | |||
Done on any song. This is done once you have built up enough star power. After you reach a x4 multiplier, you activate your star power by either pressing select or tilting the guitar back. The later is the preferred method of the most metal heads. m/ | |||
![]() | Perfectionist Award | 30 | |
| Get 100% notes hit on a song | |||
Fairly easy on any song on Easy difficulty. Use the first tier of songs as they are the simplest out the lot. | |||
![]() | Rock Snob Award | 10 | |
| Refuse to play an encore | |||
This is done in "Career" mode. After playing the initial set list, you will be prompted to play an Encore. Refuse that bad boy for an achievement. | |||
![]() | Long Road Ahead Award | 10 | |
| Fail a song on Easy | |||
This is harder than it sounds as the game won't even let you "traditionally" fail the song until 50% of the way through. After than, just strum until you're boo'd off the stage. Way to suck!! | |||
![]() | Hendrix Award | 10 | |
| Beat a song with lefty flip on | |||
Easy for those of you who are leftys. But for the rest of us, this setting is under your player options. Once done, I recommend you play on easy. | |||
![]() | Teacher's Pet Award | 10 | |
| Practice three different songs | |||
Practice mode is under "Tutorials" on the main menu. I assure you, if you plan on getting better (Or if you plan on beating Jordan on expert), you'll be using this more than just 3 times. | |||
![]() | Saturday Morning Award | 10 | |
| Beat Trogdor and Thunder Horse | |||
These are both bonus songs and this can be done on Easy difficulty. The songs first have to be purchased from the store in Career Mode. | |||
![]() | Kick the Bucket Award | 30 | |
| Beat Jordan on Expert | |||
Practice mode. That's all I can say. This song combines corkey sounds with odd note progression. If you can play on expert, the song is fairly simple until the solo. The solo is an insane shred that literally does NOT stop. The best advice I can give is A) Practice mode to learn the off beat progression of the solo, and B) Aquire as much Star Power as possible before the solo and save it until you ABSOLUTELY need it. | |||
![]() | Gear Head Award | 30 | |

![]() | Extra Credit Award | 10 | |
| View the credits | |||
The Credits can be viewed under the "Options" on the main menu. Trust me when I say it's one hell of a dragged out achievement. Start them and do something constructive for twenty mins. | |||

![]() | Keef & Mick Award | 30 | |
| Get a 1000 note streak in Cooperative | |||
Tough and requires the patience of a saint and a good friend. Most of the higher tiered songs on medium are a good shout. | |||
![]() | Lennon & McCartney Award | 10 | |
| Get an 8x streak in Cooperative | |||
Both activate your star power at the same time when you have a 4x mulitplyer on, then WHAM, Achievement Unlocked!!! | |||
![]() | Page & Plant Award | 30 | |
| Get 100% notes hit on a song in Cooperative | |||
The Co-Op achievements are a bit more difficult as you not only have to worry about yourself, but someone else as well. I recommend doing this on any song on easy with a bass line. | |||

Freebird - The more realistic of the two, many players have scored 1 million on this song but it requires two players playing on Expert hitting at least 97% of the notes. | |||
