  - This is online only.  Doesn't matter what difficulty. JUst click
    Band V Band and win the match against another band for the
    achievement.  A cheap tactic is, most players play on expert and
    are usually pretty good.  Put your difficulty down to something
    you know you can 100 percent and your points will be higher than
    theirs.  The point system is supposed to be balanced but is not.

    Fastest way to do it is to go into battle and trade off wins with
    a friend in battle mode.


AH.Rock Veteran
  - Play 150 songs throughout your entire Career.    20G
  - You will get this while completing all careers or you can just
    keep playing songs over and over.  Your choice really.


AI.Amazing Rockstar
  - Complete single player Expert Career on all instruments.  100G
  - This is going to be pretty tough since you must complete all
    songs to complete a career.  There are a total of 50 songs per
    career and they are balanced where the hardest songs for the
    instrument are in the last tier.  Through The Fire and Flames
    is always last though.  All I can say is good luck and a lot
    of practice.  For people that play guitar, get good at hammer
    ons and pull offs.  That way you can pass the killer shreds.
    Bass players, you might want to get the wierd patterns of open
    notes with button notes inbetween down.  Maybe a little bit on
    Hammer-ons and pull offs.  Up-Down strumming is a must for 
    both guitar and bass.  Vocals, get good at your pitches. Drums,
    nothing I can say for drums but learn rhythm if you don't already
    have it.  Get ready for some crazy patterns and just be glad it
    isn't demanding you to do Expert+.
  - It has been confirmed that you can get this by just beating the last
    song in each career on expert.  You can beat all other songs on any
    difficulty but Through The Fire and Flames must be beaten on expert. 


AJ.Smoking!!!
  - Complete the song Smoke On The Water as the Vocalist.  10G
  - This can be done on any difficulty.  If you want to get it easy,
    just put the difficulty on beginner and put the mic up to something
    with constand noise like a fan or a speaker.


AK.Deadzone
  - Fail a song with available Star Power in single player.  10G
  - Easiest way to get this is just to obtain star power and then
    up-down strum yourself to death until you lose.



Secret Achievements
-------------------

AL.Cyborg
  - You got a 100 note streak in the song Through The Fire And 
    Flames on Hard or higher as the Drummer. 45G
  - This I would recommend on hard.  You are going to need to
    get your drums rolls down.  That is a must for this song.
    You can also get this in Pro Face off online or offline.


AM.Inhuman
  - You scored 5 stars in a song on Expert with Lars Umlaut 
    in single player. 10G
  - This can be done on any song on any difficulty.  Pick Lars, the
    gnome looking guy with white and black make-up on. Then just
    5 star any song.


AN.Golden Voice
  - You scored 95% or more on the song Killer Queen as the 
    Vocalist (Expert). 35G
  - This song has a really weird vocal pattern. A lot of Low and
    and high pitches involved. Going to take a bit of practice to
    to get it down.


AO.Lightning Speed!
  - You completed the song YYZ with 5 stars on Expert Bass. 25G
  - This is one of the hardest songs on Bass. It is almost like
    playing guitar because the whole song is made up of hammer-ons
    and pull-offs. It is called lightning speed because you do have
    to be really fast to hit all the notes to get a high enough score
    for 5 stars.  Your goal is 170,000 points.


AP.That was Close!
  - You won a song with the rock meter in red. 10G
  - You can do this on any song, just get to the end of a song and
    strum Up-Down really fast to put yourself in red and then let the
    song end.


AQ.8th Wonder
  - You completed the song Through The Fire And Flames with 
    4 stars or more as the Guitarist on Expert. 35G
  - If you are a veteran at Guitar Hero 3 this may be a breeze for you
    because the song has been actually made easier.  Replacing the hard
    hammer-on/pull-off section with finger tap notes, no strum necessary.
    This must be done on expert as just Guitar playing.  Your goal score
    is 402,000 for 4 stars.  562,000 for 5 stars.


AR.Bloody Feet
  - You completed the song Raining Blood with 5 stars as the 
    Drummer on Expert+. 35G
  - This song is completely insane on Expert+ drums.  I hope you have the
    double bass pedal and are really good with it.  Your goal for 5 stars
    is 345,000 points.


AS.Open Minded Strummer
  - You hit all Open Strum notes in the song Laid To Rest as the 
    Bassist. 10G
  - This can only be done on expert.  The song has a lot of open strum
    notes in it.  Might have to practice the song a few times before
    attempting it.


AT.Rising Star
  - You completed 100% on any song on Expert in single player. 20G
  - This can be done on any instrument. Easiest way to get this is to
    grab a mic, put it in front of a fan so there is constant noise
    running through it and then pick Laid To Rest or Raining Blood on
    expert.  The songs are all talky type songs so it makes this a 
    breeze to get.


AU.You Play It Well
  - You perfectly played the Let's Play! section in the song 
    Play With Me as a lead Guitarist on Expert. 35G
  - You can find this part of the song by playing in practice mode.
    For me to explain where it is at, it is near the middle of the
    song.  The part starts with a finger tap shred back and forth.


AV.Raining Notes
  - You perfectly played the First Blood section of the song 
    Raining Blood as the Guitarist on Expert. 35G
  - This was originally the Mosh in Guitar Hero 3.  Guess they
    decided to change the name since the notes have been changed.
    This part come up right after the galloping green notes. It is
    a long shred of Orange to green with random green notes threw
    here and there.  Will take a lot of practice to get down.


AW.Hail The Reverend
  - Get 5 stars on the song Beast And The Harlot as the Drummer
    on Expert without using Star Power. 10G
  - This can be done on both Expert and Expert+. You can't use
    star power either way though.  The song is really hard on drums.
    Your goal for Expert is N/A - I'll add as soon as I find out.
    Your goal for Expert+ is 583,000.
  - If you are using the Rock Band Drums, do not hit the last note of
    the song.  It will trigger star power and keep you from getting the
    achievement.


AX.Free As A Band
  - You scored 2,000,000 points on Free Bird as a Band. 35G
  - It is possible to get over 3,000,000 points on this song if everyone
    is on expert and playing really well.  I did it earlier with guitar,
    bass and vocals on expert and drums on hard.  I guess if you can do
    the song really well and use star power at the right times.  You can
    maybe even score 2 million on lower difficulties.
