I. The Achievements
-------------------
There are currently 49 achievements worth 1000 gamerscore.
I would consider this one of the easiest Music games to fully
complete.  Nothing is that challenging in it.  It is still a 
fun game, but not for someone looking for challenge.  The
reason it isn't that challenging is because it is more for
the whole family and you can tell Activision/Neversoft
are trying to get new people involved in the game.


A. Welcome to Band Hero
  - Complete the Tutorials 5G
  - You must complete all tutorials.  Gameplay, Guitar, Bass,
    Vocals, Drums and Band.


B. Rise to Fame
  - Complete 25% of the gigs in Career 25G
  - If you are playing straight through each and every song.
    YOu will get this by the end of the second venue.


C. Nation's Star
  - Complete 50% of the gigs in Career  20G
  - If you are playing straight through each and every song.
    YOu will get this by the end of the fifth venue.


D. World Known
  - Complete 75% of the gigs in Career 30G
  - If you are playing straight through each and every song.
    YOu will get this by the end of the seventh venue.


E. Glimmer
  - Earn 111 Stars in Career 10G
  - See Shine


F. Sparkle
  - Earn 333 Stars in Career 20G
  - See Shine


G. Shine
  - Earn 555 Stars in Career 30G
  - Probably the quickest way to get this is to play all songs
    first on beginner vocals.  Just put the mic in front of a
    fan and let each song play.  This will net you 6 stars on
    each song.  


H. Platinum Blonde
  - Earn Platinum level on a Career Challenge 10G
  - You can read the challenge for a song when you click on the
    song.  There are Guitar, Bass, Vocals, Drums and Band
    challenges.  If you are playing online in someone else's career
    and they do a challenge, it counts for your career even if you
    aren't playing the same instrument.  The first few challenges
    are probably the easiest.  Note that most challenges must be
    don't on expert, but not all.  You can play around a bit and
    find an easy one to get Platinum or even diamond on.


I. Iced Out
  - Earn Diamond level on a Career Challenge  10G
  - Same as Platinum Blonde except you need Diamond.  There are
    around 75 challenges in the game.


J. Road Most Traveled
  - Unlock every venue  20G
  - Play the majority of the gigs in each venue and this will
    unlock after playing a few in the last venue.


K. The Long Road Ahead
  - Complete Career on any difficulty with any instrument  30G
  - You will unlock this at the same time as Road most Traveled.
    Just play the majority of the gigs in each venue and you will
    get this.


L. M.C.
  - Host an online Career game and play a song  5G
  - When you click on career from the main menu.  You can either
    invite friends or search for players.  Once at least one person
    joins.  Just play through a song and this will unlock.


M. Face to Face
  - Complete 25 online Pro Face-Off matches, win or lose  15G
  - Just go to competitive play and search in Pro Face Off.  
    Just complete 25 games, win or lose.  You will probably 
    find more games on guitar than any other instruement.


N. Till Death Do Us Part
  - Play an online Do or Die game  5G
  - Go on Xbox Live and search in Rockfest.  Do or Die is a random

    Just A Girl - No Doubt
    She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5


P. A New Challenge Awaits
  - Complete 50 of the Career Challenges at Platinum or Diamond  30G
  - You must complete 50 different challenges at at least Platinum
    level which makes this achievement really easy.  MOst of the
    challenges have to be done on expert, so keep that in mind. 
    You can sometimes find people online playing other instruments
    if you search in career.  You can always see if they will help
    with challenges you can't do.

    bottom of the characters that you can select from and you will
    see a character named Avatar.  That is your Avatar, complete
    a song as them and this will unlock.


S. In the Moment
  - Successfully complete a Band Moment 5G
  - A band moment is when you have more than one person playing.
    You will see some notes that are on fire.  Make sure everyone 
    playing hits all the notes and the track will shine orange.
