Normal Way:
This achievement requires you to get 100% on 20 different songs on expert. Meaning of course you have to hit every single note in a song. You may overstrum as long as you don't miss any notes, the combos don't matter.

If you plan to do this achievement the 'legit' way, check out the other other guides as they have good song choices for you to get 100% on.

Ill give you a few that I found easiest to get 100% on to get you started:
Slow Ride, Story of My Life, Mississippi Queen, When You Were Young, My Name Is Jonas, Closer, Radio Song, Ruby.

EDIT: BraverLeonheart in the comments section says that this doesn't have to be done all on the same band and can be unlocked across multiple bands.

Glitch:
For people who can't or can't be bothered to 100% 20 songs on expert:

*First, go to your System Settings on the Xbox Home, then select Storage, scroll down to your hard drive and press Y, then Clear System Cache and press Yes. (This will delete any updates that have been downloaded to your drive)

EDIT: Some say that there is no need to clear the cache to do this glitch, even I have seen the glitch work online... but it doesn't always work. So its up to you, try it online if you like.

Now boot up Guitar Hero (Press "No" when it asks to download the update) and go to Options, Cheats, and then Enter Cheat.

Enter this cheat: (This is the Unlock Everything cheat, no sound plays when you enter these chords)(Each letter represents which colour to hold down on your controller, then strum whilst holding the colours)

(GR_BO)
(GRYB_)
(GRY_O)
(G_YBO)
(GRYB_)
(_RYBO)
(GRYB_)
(G_YBO)
(GRYB_)
(GRY_O)
(GRY_O)
(GRYB_)
(GRY_O)

Once you have done that go to Quickplay and Expert, Bonus songs and Through The Fire and Flames, then just fail the song.

Now go back to the Cheat menu and re-enter the cheat, fail Through The Fire and Flames again and then... Achievement Unlocked.

Also if you go to the Store in the game you will unlock 4 other achievements if you dont have them already.

EDIT:
Please don't abuse the voting system. If you follow the guide it will get you the achievement. Blah blah blah, this glitch ruins the TA score for people who did it legit... Yes, it does. If you did it legit, congrats, go post your scores over on scorehero.com and see how good you actually are.

The above solutions are very good, but I think it's also worth noting that DLC counts towards the 20 songs, so if you have/wouldn't mind buying some of it, you can make this achievement a little easier. The free songs are a little challenging, but if you are having trouble, why not try them out? Here are some easy DLC songs:

FREE DLC:
Halo Theme MJOLNIR Mix
Top Gun Anthem

Paid DLC:
Messages (Velvet Revolver Pack)
Super Massive Black Hole (Muse Pack)
God Put A Smile Upon Your Face (Coldplay Pack)
I Predict a Riot (Isle of Wight Pack)
Tina (this comes with the GH3 soundtrack, and can also be downloaded on XBL)

As for what other songs to go for, that's personal preference. Depending on what you're good at doing (keeping rhythm or hitting hard solos, etc.), you may find some songs more difficult than others. The other solutions here give good suggestions, but here are my personal picks:

Songs To Start With: Story of My Life, Mississippi Queen, Bulls on Parade, When You Were Young, Lay Down, My Name is Jonas, Sabotage, Reptilia, Closer, Generation Rock, Metal Heavy Lady, Radio Song, Ruby

More Difficult Ones: Slow Ride, Talk Dirty To Me, School's Out, Sunshine of Your Love, Miss Murder, Paranoid, Anarchy in the U.K., Even Flow, Can't Be Saved, She Bangs The Drums

Now, the other solutions here mention some songs that I'd personally stay away from- Avalancha is one. This song has a fairly difficult part at the very tail-end of it; I found it quite annoying to FC and gave up. The other one is Cities On Flame. I think there are 20 songs waay easier than this.

There is one more trick I can give you here. Since you don't need to FC (keep a streak for the entire song) 20 songs, but just get 100%, you can wildly strum through fast parts that you are shaky on just to make sure you hit every note. There are two songs this helps with: The Seeker, and Black Magic Woman.

To Gold Star any song, you must hit 100% of the notes. It does not have to be a full combo (You're allowed to overstrum) as long as you HIT EVERY SINGLE NOTE.
You must administer this to 20 songs in Expert.

'Easy' songs to start with, are Mississippi Queen, Radio Song, Avalancha, and Closer.

I guess its worth mentioning there's a glitch you can use to unlock this achievement, but if you're going to cheat the achievement, then doesn't that ultimately take the actual feeling of achievement out of it?
(No, if you want that glitch, search elsewhere.)

i did the glitch accidentally (well before i joined this site), sorry guys but in time ive gold starred 20 songs here is the list

1.Slow Ride 2.Talk Dirty to Me 3.Hit Me With Your Best Shot 4.Story Of My Life 5.Mississippi Queen 6.Sunshine of Your Love 7.Bulls on Parade 8.Reptilia 9.When You Were Young 10.Miss Murder 11.Lay Down 12.Cities On Flame with Rock & Roll 13.My Name is Jonas 14.Helicopter 15.Black Magic Woman 16.The Metal 17.Closer 18.Metal Heavy Lady 19.Radio Song 20.Ruby.

The feelings much better when you earn your achievement.

TIPS:
-If there is a hammer on or pull off, use it
-Practice mode; practice the solos and tricky parts
-You wont get it your first try, so try and try again
-Almost all of these songs are just repetition
-You can also overstrum and still obtain a 100%

Any Questions or concerns, send me a message or post a comment ill try to get back asap

Good Luck

There is a glitch that works with the updated version of Guitar Hero 3. Using this glitch, I've taken this achievement on 3 separate accounts, all on different consoles that were all updated; the last time I took the achievement was on my own profile not two or three days back. I've done this now with 'Stricken' (career song) and 'Prayer of the Refugee' (store song), but I have yet to try it on a downloaded song.

If you have a save file, copy it to a USB. Remove the USB and boot up GH3. Go to Options, Cheats and enter the cheat below to unlock everything (no sounds will play as you enter the cheat):

(GR_BO) (GRYB_) (GRY_O) (G_YBO) (GRYB_) (_RYBO) (GRYB_) (G_YBO) (GRYB_) (GRY_O) (GRY_O) (GRYB_) (GRY_O)

Now, play any song on Expert in Quickplay to completion. The achievement will unlock once you finish the song. Also, duck into the store to unlock four achievements (All guitars, all songs, all characters, buy everything; total of 25G). Then, delete that save file and copy your old one back over. You've now got 5 achievements totalling 55G and your progress for 'The Long Road Ahead' achievement is in no way compromised!

Enjoy!
