Downloadable Content List
-------------------------
1. Boss Battle Track Pack - this will help with the point achievements
   and it is free.  The Devil Went Down to Georgia is really hard but
   has a lot of notes, if you can get the song down, you can easily
   get all the point style achievements.  The pack is also free.

2. Ernten Was Wir S�en - This is a single song that will net you really
   high points and has a lot of notes, pretty easy for a expert song.

3. Death Magnetic - I'm only putting this on here for the fact that
   All Nightmare Long really makes all the point achievements really
   simple.  So if you have the points and are good at the game, this will
   help you get a 1000 in the game.  The songs are also really fun as well.



I. The Achievements
-------------------
Guitar Hero III currently has 59 Achievements worth a total of 1000 
Gamerscore points. I have included the easiest songs for certain achievements 
as well as added the Downloadable Content songs as well.  Which are marked 
with the ** symbols.

A. Enlightened Guitarist
  - Gold Star 20 songs on Expert 30G
  - There are two ways you can do this, legit, or glitch it.  Legit, you
    have to perfect 20 songs on expert.  They must be career songs.  
    Probably the first couple of tier songs are the easiest.  If you are
    looking to glitch it, go to the cheats menu, enter the code for
    performance mode, then enter the code to unlock all (both found on
    the cheats page)  Then go to career, expert and pick Through The
    Fire and Flames, then automatically fail and this achievement should
    pop.


B. Hendrix Reborn
  - Complete Career Lefty and Righty 10G
  - For this you must complete the career at least twice, once on righty
    and then go to your options and change the setting to lefty flip,
    after you beat the career on both, this should pop. Must do the
    whole career on both.  Doesn't matter the difficulty.  Try playing
    looking in a mirror if you are right handed when you do lefty flip.


C. Who Needs the Power
  - 200k on Cult of Personality without Star Power 15G
  - This can only be done on Hard or Expert.  Easier on Hard but you
    must pratically perfect the song.  A little trick you can do is
    near the end of the song when that pause comes up right before the
    final 5 seconds of notes, activate star power then and as long as
    you star power is up when the song ends, it doesn't count that you
    used it.


D. Whammy Mania
  - Use the Whammy Bar on every held note on Number of the Beast 15G
  - This can be done on any difficulty.  What you mainly want to do is
    tape down your whammy bar a just perfect the song, you must hit 
    every whammy note.


E. Star Mania
  - Activate Star Power 3 times on Through the Fire and Flames on 
    Expert 15G
  - This is only obtainable in Quickplay.  TTFaF is the hardest
    song on the game and you must first unlock it by completing
    career mode on any difficulty.  Best tip I can give is as
    soon as you fill your star meter up where you can use star
    power, use it.  The song is fairly long, there are a few
    chances to get this in it.


F. Life of the Party
  - Host Ranked Online matches and win 15 consecutive songs 10G
  - You must host the matches and win 15 times in a row.  You
    can check your consecutive streak on the leaderboards. This
    achievement is glitched and doesn't unlock when it is 
    suppose to for most people.  It may pop up randomly sometime
    after you have won 15 matches in a row.


G. Search and Destroy
  - Join Ranked Online matches and win 15 consecutive songs 10G
  - Same as Life of the Party except you must join ranked matches.
    This achievement has the same glitch as Life of the Party as
    well.


H. Too Many to Count
  - Hit 250,000 notes in Career 25G
  - You will get this eventually, just play a lot and you will get
    it.  Must be done under 1 band.


I. Never Gonna Spend It All
  - Earn $350,000 in career lifetime earnings 10G
  - You must earn this much money among all your careers.  If you
    are going for 5 stars you get more money and will get this
    quicker, but it still takes awhile.


J. That's What Friends Are For
  - Complete Co-op Career 25G
  - Just complete a co-op career with a friend on any difficulty.
    Must be done locally.


K. Back Up Hero
  - Complete all songs as the back-up guitar player 10G
  - Must complete the co op career as the Bass or Rhythm Guitarist.
    All songs.  Must be done locally.


L. Guitar Wizard
  - Complete all Co-op as the lead guitarist 10G
  - Must complete all songs in the co op career as Lead guitarist.
    Must be done locally, any difficulty.


M. 100 Million!?! Gulp!?!
  - Earn 100,000,000 points total in Career 30G
  - Just keep playing songs under the same band in career mode.
    I hope you really like the game and playing because that is
    what this achievement calls for.


N. Streaker
  - Earn a 150 note streak in a Ranked Online Battle mode match 10G
  - Go on xbox live and create a Ranked Battle Mode, then try and
    get a 150 note streak, pretty hard if you are playing legit
    because the other player will be hitting you with weapons.


O. Tone Deaf
  - Beat any song on the expert difficulty with the games sound 
    options turned down to zero  5G
  - First go to options and turn all the games sound options to
    zero so you hear nothing.  Then play a song on expert difficulty
    and pass it.


P. Easy Rider
  - Complete a Career on the Easy Difficulty 5G
  - Complete the Career on easy, you must complete at least 3 songs
    on each tier and the encore/guitar battle to move to the next
    tier.  After beating Lou(the devil) at the end, you will get 
    this.


Q. Medium Rare
  - Complete Career Mode on the Medium difficulty 10G
  - Same as Easy except takes a little bit more skill, it adds 
    another fret button on you, so now you have to press four.


R. Always Hard
  - Complete Career on the Hard difficulty 15G
  - Not the same and Easy and Medium, you must use all five
    fret buttons this time and complete every song on the setlist
    to move on.  It is pretty leniant until the last two tiers.
    Be prepared for Raining Blood and One, they have nasty shreds
    in them.  So might be a good time to work on hammer ons and
    pull offs.


S. Solo Career
  - Complete all Career difficulties  25G
  - You will get this once you have beaten the Easy, Medium, Hard and
    Expert careers.


T. Button Masher
  - Win 15 consecutive Ranked songs online using a standard 
    controller 5G
  - Do the same thing as Life of the Party except use a controller.
    If you can't play with a controller all that well, get a friend
    to help you boost this achievement.  Note that it is also glitched
    and may pop up randomly sometime after you have done they right
    thing to unlock it.


U. Buy a Guitar Already
  - Play through a career on the Hard or Expert difficulty using a 
    standard controller 15G
  - Well if you are really good with a controller you shouldn't have
    a problem hear.  If you aren't, beat the game like you normally
    would with a guitar, then shut the game off after you've beaten
    Lou at the end, a little when the video starts rolling.  Start
    the game back up with a controller plugged in and then go to
    hard/expert and get ready to pick a song, the achievement should
    pop.  You don't have to play the whole career again if you have
    already beaten it before, just beat Lou at the end.


V. Big 'Ol Pile of Wins
  - Win 500 Online Ranked matches 20G
  - Just play a lot of ranked and win 500 matches, will take awhile.


W. The Long Road Ahead
  - Complete all difficulties in Career, buy everything from the 
    shop and complete 100 online matches  100G
  - Complete Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert.  Play 100 online matches,
    doesn't matter if they are ranked or not and by everything from
    the store, you can use a code to unlock everything in the store
    or buy everything legit.  That also means you have to 5 star every
    song on all 4 difficulties in solo and co op.


X. Meet Your Maker
  - Beat one of the creators of Guitar Hero 3 at their own game 20G
  - This is viral, just beat someone that has the achievement and
    you get it, player or ranked.  Online only.


Y. Right Hand of God
  - Complete Career Mode on the Expert difficulty 20G
  - Same as hard but harder.  Just have to pratice until you can do
    it, if a solo is messing you up, save star power and it may help
    you get by.


Z. Bronze Streaker
  - Earn a 100 note Streak in Career or Quick Play 5G
  - Really simple, most songs even on easy will net you over 100
    notes, just don't miss any notes and you will get this.


AA.Silver Streaker
  - Earn a 250 note streak in Career or Quick Play 10G
  - A little bit more difficult than Bronze but not much, some of
    the longer songs on easy will get you this if you don't miss any
    notes inbetween.


AB.Gold Streaker
  - Earn a 500 note streak in Career or Quick Play 15G
  - This can be done on One on easy.  Some of the easier Medium
    songs can net you this.  Story of my Life is a good one.


AC.Streak Master
  - Earn a 1000 note streak in Career or Quick Play 20G
  - Only easy song that can get you this is Through The Fire and
    Flames.  If you are looking for something else, One on Medium
    is a possibility.
  

AD.First Big Score
  - Score 250,000 on a song 5G
  - This is actually possible on Through The Fire and Flames on
    easy if you are perfecting the song and using your star
    power right.  You can also get it on One on Medium or Story
    Of My Life.


AE.Half a Mill'
  - Score 500,000 on a song 10G
  - This can be gotten on Through The Fire/Flames on Hard.  It
    can be gotten on a handful of expert songs as well.  If you
    have some DLC, It can be gotten on Johnney I Hardley Knew Ya
    on Hard.  That is part of the free Dropkick Murpheys pack.


AF.Now That's Impressive
  - Score 750,000 on a song 20G
  - Well use to this achievement could only be done on Through
    The Fire/Flames on expert if you pratically perfected the song.
    If you are a master you can do it on that.  DLC that allows you
    to do it is the songs in the new DragonForce pack which costs
    500 MS.  The Devil Went Down to Georgia which is free in the 
    Boss Battle Pack but is harder to do than Through Fire/Flames.
    If you are a big spender and really like Metallica, You can
    download the Death Magnetic full album for 1440 MS points.
    If you do download that, I've heard the 750,000 points is
    no problem on the song All Nightmare Long.


AG.Axe Grinder
  - Earn 5 stars on all songs on the Easy difficulty 10G
  - This achievement shouldn't give anyone really any trouble,
    just almost perfect all the easy songs in career mode so
    you have 5 stars on them.


AH.Rock Guru
  - Earn 5 stars on all songs on the Medium difficulty 20G

    songs that may give you trouble are some of the last
    tier songs.  Just pratice a bit and you should get them.


AI.Shredder
  - Earn 5 stars on all songs on the Hard difficulty 30G

AJ.Guitar Hero
