If you're used to playing on Hard or Expert already, this shouldn't be a problem for you. The only tricky parts are when you have to strum the open notes fast. If you're having a hard time doing this, try focusing on strumming ONLY the open notes, and ignore the few colored notes in between. You will make it through the song just fine. If you're still having trouble, make sure you save all of your StarPower for the sections you have a difficult time on. Remember, you only have to PASS the song, so do whatever you need to to survive, and don't worry about your score or stars. Oh, and of course, play on Hard instead of Expert.

Note: This MUST be done on Quickplay+

Just wanted to add something for those who might be having trouble with this, you can use your Powers from quest mode and still get the achievement. So do the Power Challenge when playing the song in QP+, the achievement also doesn't state that you can't use powers unlike the "Hand Mutilator" achievement. I recommend using Star Power Nova+, so that you get full star power from every successful star phrase hit, and either Speed Freak+ to keep your multiplier at 2 (it will also increase quicker) or Star Power Generator+ so that if you can at least get 10 notes in a row, you can slowly fill the Star Power meter even if you miss the star phrases.

Z3RO 37 That's a great addition! I didn't know that. Mind if I add it to the solution? I'll put your name on it.

Untitled Agent nova+ is the one that gives you 6x your multiplier in star power so i doubt that's what you meant- amplifier might be what you were after?

Skadi And Omega why would anyone want to use powers for such an easy achievement?

Z3RO 37 Because not everyone is as amazing as you, kiddo.

RealSpooky Got this first time of trying on hard without powers (eg Nova, etc), and without even using star power. I saved it just in case, but didn't need it. So really not that hard. And I'm definitely not awesome... If only I could say the same about the Fury Of the Storm hard drums achievement...

Selly49 Considering the first ime I tried this track on Hard Bass I failed out.. twice... (only finished thanks to my friend on guitar reviving me) it's not as easy as some people would like to make out!
I'd just say the important thing is not to panic with all the open strums and keep star power just in case you need it. :)
