How to unlock the The Streak achievement in Guitar Hero 5 - Definitive Guide

This achievement can be received through custom songs as well as on-disk shipped song or dlc. Everything from hereon requires a Guitar.


For custom songs:
You can either make a song yourself, publish it, then play it to 1001 note streak OR download a pre-made song for this purpose. One song i found, "1500 Streak", is a 10 minute jingle of 4 cords playing a repeating pattern. This song actually has 1600 notes and you should also score high enough to get the Score Big achievement (my friend got it doing this method) (max score on expert, FC, is 951,450 points [thanks to rover08].

"One song i found, "1500 Streak", is a 10 minute jingle of 4 cords playing a repeating pattern. This song actually has 1600 notes and you should also score near or above 1,000,000 points if you 100% the song (but I cannot confirm the ability to gain the Score Big and Score Bigger achievements for scoring high on custom songs)."

With a full combo on this one you will get a 1600 streak, but 'only' 951.450 points... (and my ears and fingers hurts)

This was how I was able to get this achievement easily.

I played a two player game, MY ACCOUNT was on expert vocals, my fake account was on expert guitar (I'm not sure if this glitch works with other difficulties but this is how I got it)

Play Bring The Noise 20XX - By Public Enemy with Zakk Wylde (sorry I forgot to mention this before!!!)

Since the song is all "talkies" I put my mic up to a fan or air conditioner and I was able to get 100% on the song

My guitar I just played normally and there is a counter under your combined score. Even if you don't streak every time you hit a note with the guitar it makes the counter go up.

Once your counter gets passed 1001 after a few seconds your achievement should ONLY POP UP FOR THE VOCAL SINGER.

Edit: It looks like songs are not downloadable anymore, which sucks. Thanks, Activision! cry

This guide should allow you to unlock "Score Biggest," "Score Bigger," and "The Streak" in one play.

I uploaded my own song, called "Score Big w star". The ones I was looking at didn't have Star Power in the songs, so I figured that was just wasting notes. Might as well get the 8x multiplier as well for extra points. I also used two sustained notes (green-red) instead of one.

I did this because I was having issues with Score Biggest, even using some of the songs on GHTunes, especially since a missed note or two meant that I wouldn't hit 3M even after 10 minutes. (Twice I got around 2.7M because I missed a single note.)

Same as other suggestions: one guitar, one drum. Set the drum up on auto kick. Play the guitar, and strum. Use Star Power as you see fit while the auto drum goes crazy.

It's 7:16 in length, so it isn't as long as some others, but you should probably get 3 million at about 5:50. Along the way, the drummer should get "The Streak" if they don't already have it (there are over 6500 drum kicks), so if you're doing this solo, log in on the drums and use the guitar as a 2nd account.

You can also make your own song, as others have suggested. That way you get the "Producer" achievement as well, like I did. :-) You don't have to use it, but I figured since I'd already made it, might as well post it. If it helps you, enjoy.

For those who can't play hard or expert you can get this achievement on Easy Guitar.

If you play Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like We Do (Live) on Easy Guitar, it has 1258 notes. The song itself is easy to play but very long, its 13 minutes and 40 seconds. The achievement will pop up when you get to a 1001 note streak.

If you haven't played this song yet, it has an achievement as well. It hasn't been confirmed if you can fail it and still get the song related achievement though. But beating the song will get you the "Did you Finish Like We Did?" achievement.

Hey guys, I'm going to show you how to get "The Streak" achivement.

Goal: Complete a 1001 note streak.

Description: All you gotta do is to play on guitar, bass or drums and play 1001 notes without missing one or over-strumming/over-hitting. The last thing mans that you will not get the achievement if you lose your X4 multiplier.

How to do it: First, STAY RELAX! There are a few ways to earn the achievment, but whatever way you choose, stay calm, don't watch the score or the streak, just watch the notes coming and stay concentrated.

Personnaly, this is how I got "The Streak":

-Expert Bass
-In any game mode, choose the song "Comedown" by Bush.
-Play it a first time to learn it, it is basically the same thing during the whole song, so it should not be hard to get the achievement.

!Achievement unlocked!

For those (like me) who like playing bass but aren't up to Hard or Expert level yet, there is another (non-cheaty) option.

"Runnin' Down A Dream" by Tom Petty (on GH5 disc) has 1129 notes on Medium Bass.

Admittedly the bassline is a little tedious, consisting of what I call "triplets" (3 notes then pause, then another 3 notes etc) right up until the end but if you're able to keep playing these for ages then the achievement is pretty simple to obtain. It'll pop up when you hit the 1001 mark.

the easiest way by far, is dancing with myself on bass on expert. it has about 1100 notes, so just fc the song and you'll get it.

I got it accidently while shooting for the Diamond challenge on Lust for Life (600 notes on Guitar). There's 1060 notes on Medium, and it's fairly easy, and moderately busy so mid-tier Expert players wouldn't have to worry about getting bored and mis-strumming something, and if you do it in Career it'll net you the Diamond challenge as well. I only mention it because the post listing all the songs and difficulties didn't mention it.

The way I got this, I played "Lust For Life" by Iggy Pop on medium difficulty. I don't know how many notes are in this song exactly but there is over 1000.

All you have to do is 100% it and the achievement is yours. You could also play "Sultans Of Swing" by Dire Straits on expert bass, for this song I did not 100% it, I got 99% but hit nearly every note and had over 1000 note streak.

Here's the hands down easiest way to get this achievement.
Go into GH Mix and make your own song which entirely consists of constant drum kick pedals and no normal notes. It might take a while to get your head around the GH Mix controls but you can copy and paste a section of notes which makes things a lot easier.

Now you need to go into Quickplay and turn on the auto kick cheat. Now just select your song and sit back while the game does the work for you. I was able to get a note streak of over 6000 this way, along with 2million points which also unlocked the Score Big and Score Bigger achievements.

Play "Do You Feel Like We Do?" on guitar easy/beginner and don't miss a note. Or see "No Mistakes Allowed".

With your account signed in as the vocalist, sign in a guest or another account on guitar. Play "Bring the Noise 20XX" on Expert and use the fan trick for the vocals, and play on Expert with the guitar. You will never lose your streak, so you should get a streak of about 1500 even if you miss notes on guitar.
