This achievement was one of the few I actually had to work for. It's a very complex solo, and one of the most difficult in the game. There's no surefire way I can tell you how to get it, only tips.
First off, practice it on all speeds. What I did to help make sure I could get it down was to FC the solo 3 times in a row on 50% Speed, then do the same on 60% speed etc.
80% Speed was a bit tricky because now, I had to actually play the solo like it was because it's quite hard to abuse the timing window on the zig-zags. One thing you should notice is that the BYG's, OBR's, the OBY's, and the YRG's in the zig-zags are faster than the other parts, so you'll need to hit those at a faster speed than the other parts. When you can consistently hit the zig-zags, try playing the song out in Free Play or Tour and see if you can get the solo.
The solo outside the zig-zags is much much easier, so if you hit the 2nd zig-zag pattern, it should be very easy to get the rest of the solo, as there's nothing hard outside of a couple quick strummed Greens.
Good luck, this one took me quite a bit of grinding to do.
EDIT 1: I tried it on my alternate account, and unless I'm missing something, you can not do it in practice. And you don't have to FC (100% with your combo not broken at all) the song. You can overstrum as much as you want, as long as you 100% the solo in Free Play or Tour.
EDIT 2: LordMathias:
"Here's a slight, albeit vague, tip: try playing it using different methods. Of course, practice at lower speeds first, but if the fingering method you're trying to use isn't working, try something else. I went from missing in the second RBO part (because my fret pinky sucks) to 100% in practice using tapping in a matter of 20 minutes, and then second try in free play *pop*. If I wasn't lazy I'd post up a video, but yeah." |

PRACTICE!!! That's pretty much it. Although it is possible to use a GH guitar, I highly recommend using a RB Strat. so you don't need to strum during the solo. My method was I kept one finger on one hand on green, and the index and middle finger on my other hand to tap Y,B,Y. Then slide finger from green to red and the other 2 to B,O,B, etc. Try turning on the breakneck speed under options. It will space the notes apart a little more and make them easier to read. Also, practice on slower speeds if you are having trouble. Make sure you're hitting 100% pretty steadily before you go into quickplay/career because playing through the 3:22 before the solo quickly gets annoying.
Good luck TAers. |

To add to the other solutions, you might want to turn on "Breakneck Speed" under the "Extras" and "Modify Game." I was struggling with this, then I turned this on and got 99% the first time after doing so!
Also, if you have a Rock Band guitar, use the solo buttons, even if you aren't very good with them. I'm horrible at tapping, yet this is the easiest method i've found so far.
Oh, and good luck, of course! |

| Here is the solo FC with hands vid by PoptartsRxtrem3. If you're having problems just keep playing the solo on a slower speed in practice mode until you get it.

I know this solution will seem awkward and strange but this is how I was able to get it for my friends.
During an achievement party, I had trouble getting this for my friends since I was the dedicated HOPO expert. I ended up turning the audio off and playing the song with no sound. Once I did that I got the achievement 7 times in a row. I had already gotten it for myself when I first got the game.
Just something to try.
Try it a few times with no audio. |
