Just play expert bass on Nickelback - How you remind me. One of the bass challenges requires you to upstrum and the other is for the high score. There are no tricky parts in the song, so if you do quite well and upstrum the whole song 20g will be yours.
Wulf684 Have you done this yourself? I don't see your achievement yet.
Also, the achievement says "on a single play of a song". This makes it a lot trickier. I'm not sure how it works yet.

I did get diamond on high score and on up-strum, but on seperate occasions. I don't understand how I wouldn't get the up-strum platinum if I got the high score though...
Can anyone explain better maybe?

bramstroker strange, you should get the upstrum to if you get the high score. How many notes did you miss? I do have the achievement myself, my profile just needs to get updated.
I selected the upstrum challenge in the challenges overview. Than I just upstrummed all the way (98% notes hit) resulting in 2 diamonds (1 for high score and 1 for upstrum). This was the first time on this challenge, so I didn't had any medals beforehand,

Wulf684 I see, no medals beforehand. I fear that is the key to this achievement.
I guess I'll have to pick another (and probably more difficult!) song then...
I'll try again on Nickelback though, perhaps my game was just confused because my wife and I played together at first (I logged her and the instrument out before trying this achievement).

Rockin Cherry Thanks bramstroker. Played Nickelback on expert bass, upstrummed the whole way and got 100% so got my diamond challenge achievement. A very easy song to do to get this achievement. I should point out that I had no medals for this song beforehand.

BraverLeonheart Thanks, I did this and got it, took a couple of tries to get used to upstrumming, I've alternate picked from the second I got gh1 on ps2.

bramstroker Glad it worked for you guys. I'm used to alternate strumming as well, but I found it quite amusing trying to upstrum only :P

BigSilentRob Perfect. Thanks for the tip. I only missed one note and got diamond for upstrums and score. That's out of the way now.
