How to unlock the Main Menu Maestro achievement in Grease Dance - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you need to play the first four bars of 'Summer Lovin' using the main menu options. If you've been paying attention to the hints that scroll while songs/minigames are loading, they mention this there. Controlling the button selection is a challenge with your hands, and no, using your standard Xbox controller isn't an option...unfortunately.

This took me MANY tries before I unlocked it; probably close to 50. I was actually thinking it might be glitch, but alas, it isn't. You just have to be perfect, or almost perfect, on the Rhythm, Tempo, and Timing of when to hit the 'buttons'. For those of you that can read music, here is link to the sheet music for 'Summer Lovin'. http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdFPE.asp?ppn=MN006993... I found this to be quite helpful to see where, and for how long, the pauses are.

What buttons you scroll over and in what order you do them in has ZERO impact on this achievement since each individual button isn't assigned to a specific note. Again, the key is correct Rhythm, Tempo, and Timing of when you scroll over the buttons, so that you are actually playing the song. Learn the rhythm, mimic the tempo of the song, practice how much you need to move your hand to scroll over the buttons, and hope for some luck.

I don't have the achievement yet, but I prefer the folowing tactic:
2 - Short Break - 3 - 4 - Short Break - 3 - 2 - Short Break - 3 - 4 -5 -Very Short Break - 4 - 3
I think it is easier in this way because of the last break.
Perhaps "Chad and Jessie" can fill in this tactic. :)

I know this song perfectly, but the controller is very hard to control! Can't do it as fast as needed

I found it easier to just move between the bottom two. Still took 50 tries though :(

Really I jsut got on and started to wave my hands up and down trying to find a rythm andI was doing horrible!! but then I started to hear someone sing and POP!! Achievement unlocked first try...ina bout 10 sec,.. really no kidding. I think you just need to go back and fourth a few times as a somewhat desent pace..BTW this was my first achievement in this game.

I sat there for a while working on this achievement, then threw my arms down in disgust to go read this post again and hit 5 more notes at once and got the achievement.

I unlocked this after just scrolling up and down for a few seconds out of frustration. Not even remotely on rhythm.

I started at the top, scrolled up and down over the top two for the first bar, then scrolled down for the second bar. Then I scrolled up and down, for the third, and scrolled up for the fourth bar. I just found it easier to move up and down quickly over the two buttons for the quicker notes. But again, it doesn't matter what buttons you hit, start with, etc. You just have to hit then on perfect rhythm and tempo, or close to perfect.

Those tactic's are a little off as they don't follow the rhythm of the song. I'm not sure I can actually TYPE out the rhythm musically. From the sheet music, the rhythm is 4/4, every quarter note gets a beat and there are four beats per measure, or bar. This is the best I can do written out with counts of when you hit a note and when you have breaks.

Note (1+)
break (2)
Note (+)
Note (3+)
break (4)
Note (+)
Note (1+)
break (2)
Note (+)
Note (3)
Note (+4)
Note (+)
Note (1+)
break (2)
Note (+)
Note (3+)
break (4)
Note (+)
Note (1+)
break (2)
Note (+)
Note (3)
Note (+4)
Note (+)
Note (1+)


For those that can't read music and don't understand the counts above, this is the best I can give you.
(1) Note
Break
(2) quick Notes
Break
(2) quick Notes
Break
(3) quick Notes
Small break (half the lengths of the other breaks)
(2) quick Notes
Break
(2) quick Notes
Break
(2) quick Notes
Break
(3) quick Notes
Small break (half the lengths of the other breaks)
(2) quick Notes

Again, you have to not only hit the notes correctly (not hit three when you should have hit two), but your speed (tempo) has to be accurate with the song. Basically...perfect and fast.

This trophy is quite easy. The trick is to move slowly the cursor one by one from top to bottom and to the top again doing this 3 times while you are in the Main Menu until you activate a fragment of Summer Nights song.

Do this starting in the Main Menu: from the option Dance move to Karaoke to Party Play to Extras to Options to Extras to Party Play to Karaoke to Dance to Karaoke… continue until you complete another 2 circuits. If you do it properly, the song will play with the trophy seconds later.
