Battle Lou in Expert mode with Easy mode notes

When the battle with Lou starts at the end of the game on Expert mode, strum without holding any frets until you lose. At the “Game Over” screen, select “Tutorial”. Pick the tutorial for Guitar Battle, and play through it until the “Lesson Complete” message appears. As soon as the next fret board appears, pause the game, and exit to return to the lesson menu. Then, press Red to return to the list of songs. The battle with Lou will be highlighted. Choose the song, and Lou’s notechart will now be set to Easy mode. Note: Your notechart will still be in Expert mode, but his will be in Easy mode.

Easier songs

Before the beginning of the song (before the chords appear), move the Strum Bar Up and Down until the meter stops going down. Note: When the meter stops it will be in the red, and when the meter starts again it will be somewhere in the middle of the song.

Easier “Through The Fire And Flames” song

Before you use Star Power when playing the song, pause the game. Hold Back, and resume the game. By doing this, you will not miss as many notes if you are going for a “Five Star” rank.

Before you start playing during the introduction, wrap a rubber band around Green. By doing this, you will not have to worry about holding Green, as it does it for you. Make sure you press the other buttons quickly so that Green can register. If you hold the buttons as you do the hammer-ons, Green will not register, and you will fail.

Hammering on and pulling off

Hammering on and pulling off happens when you can strum on one note and successfully hit the notes that come after it without using the strum bar. Look for the single notes with white rings on top instead of black rings. As long as you hit the previous note, you can hit the next note by pressing the correct fret button. This is especially useful on songs like Cult Of Personality on the Hard difficulty.

Predator reference

There is a reference to the movie Predator in the song “Helicopter”. After playing the song, go to the “More Stats” screen, or to Practice mode, and get to the screen where you choose what section to play. One of the sections in the song is called “Get Back To The Choppa!!!”, which seems to be a reference to Arnold Schwarzenneger’s line in Predator, when they are all running away from the Predator.

Easy “Axe Collector”, “Burnin’ a Hole in Your Pocket”, “Enlightened Guitarist”, “Got ’em All”, and “Track Master” achievements

First, enable the “Performance mode” code. Then, enable the “All items” code. Go to Expert Career, and enter the store to get the “Axe Collector”, “Burnin’ a Hole in Your Pocket”, “Got ’em All”, and “Track Master” achievements. Next, select Lou with The El Jefe at the Desert Rock Tour. Select Slow Ride, and intentionally fail to get the “Enlightened Guitarist” achievement.

Easy “Back Up Hero”, “Guitar Wizard”, and “That’s What Friends Are For” achievements

Enable the “No fail” code. Plug two controllers in, and start a Co-op Career mode on any difficulty setting. Successfully complete all songs by playing the left-side screen as lead guitar. Disable the “No Fail” code. Fail a song on the same Co-op Career mode to get the “That’s What Friends Are For” and “Guitar Wizard” achievement. Repeat this process on a different difficulty setting, but select a rhythm or bass part on each song to get the “Back-Up Hero” achievement.

Easy “Buy A Guitar Already” achievement

Successfully complete Career mode on the Hard or Expert difficulty setting. Turn the Xbox 360 off after saving your game. Plug a regular controller in, then turn your Xbox 360 on. Load the career you just completed. When you enter the character selection screen, you should get the “Buy A Guitar Already” achievement.

Easy “Enlightened Guitarist” achievement

After unlocking the “Through The Fire And The Flames” song, start a career on the Medium difficulty setting. Then, play through the song. Once you are done, you should get the “Enlightened Guitarist” achievement.

Easy “Whammy Mania” achievement

Select the “Number Of The Beast” song, and tape the whammy bar down. Leave it there for the entire song to get the “Whammy Mania” achievement. Even if it is not moving in and out, it still works. Note: Make sure to hit every long note or you will not be awarded the achievement.

Easy “Who Needs The Power” achievement

Play through the “Cult Of Personality” song, and make sure you have at least 175,000 points once you get to the break towards the end of the song. Activate Star Power, and play the last short sequence of the song. Make sure your Star Power does not run out before it says “You Rock”. If done correctly, you should still get the achievement even though you used Star Power.
