    The song requires that you hit 100% of the notes on the Expert difficulty. You can overstrum, but you can't miss any of the notes. Songs in the first tier are the easiest songs to unlock this achievement for. I would recommend "Say It Ain't So" by Weezer or "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
    If you want to go for DLC, you can always try it out for "Charlene" by Stephen and the Colberts. The song is free, so you don't have to worry about getting Microsoft Points. The song is also about 90 seconds long, so if you screw up, you don't have to feel bad since the song is pretty short.

    XenodysI'm a little late to the party. "Satisfy my Soul" by Bob Marley is what I used. There are only one or two tricky parts in it that you can get through after practicing them a few times.

    This one will require a song from the Marketplace. You need to download "They Say" by Scars on Broadway - the song is relatively easy compared to other songs on Expert. If you've just started moving onto Expert, it will take three or four tries. Don't get frustrated if you mess up, just start over if you do.

    SashamorningAgreed. I ran through this once as a practice, and 100% on the 2nd, and I usually only play bass. Great tip!

    NoiseCrimelooks good from youtube video, but I cant get the RB-G-YO change nailed - any advice?

    Mike MarcelaisThis worked great for me.

    For the transition, you probably have your four fingers on the first four frets for most of the start of the song (as those are the only frets used). What worked for me is that when the music changes (to indicate the start of that tricky section) to slide your hand down to the bottom four frets (so you're playing RB with 1-3 instead of 2-4). You can easily stretch 1 to G and then use 2-4 on YO. At the end (when it goes back to RY), you shift your hand back up.

    An easier way to get this is to choose local tug of war and then you only have to do about half of the song. I suck at expert guitar, but just got this with "They Say" by scars on broadway. Using tug of war makes things much easier though still a huge pain in the butt.
