How to unlock the Score Hero achievement in Guitar Hero Aerosmith - Definitive Guide

Tip from SpeedBumpPony: If you can get used to Hyperspeed, that can help with the hit window on some of the notes once you get the chord movements down.

Strum the following combination in the Cheats sub-menu of the Options menu to activate the Hyperspeed trick:

(YO) (YO) (YO) (YO) (YO) (RY) (RY) (RY) (RY) (RB) (RB) (RB) (RB) (RB) (YB) (YO) (YO)

Original solution follows below:

This must be done in solo play, trying to achieve the score in co-op will not work.

Train Kept A Rollin' is one of the hardest songs in the game, so scoring 325,000 points is no easy feat.

This must be done on Expert, as the score is unattainable on any lower difficulty. There are 1400 notes on the Expert version of this song, and the number varies from about 93-96% of notes needing to be hit to achieve 325,000.

There's no real easy way to exploit this song for an easy achievement, it's just one of those cheevos that requires some good ol' fashioned elbow grease.

Go into Practice Mode and practice the song from the section TRAIN'S A COMIN' to CABOOSE. This is where the majority of your points will come from, as the section is filled with lots of chords. The first half mostly consists of difficult solos with verses that have very little point value unless you get the Star Power activation just right. While you may be good enough to get 130K in the first half of the song, you still have to hold it together to get the next 200K or so. The good news is a monster score like that is very attainable in the second half of the song.

The second half of the song is much easier than the first, provided that you are able to move your fingers quickly enough to hit some of the chord changes while not missing crucial Star Power phrases. If there's a section of notes you can never hit in the last half of the song, and there's a Star Power phrase in that section, blatantly miss the non-starred notes if it means getting that Star Power phrase that you would normally miss flailing through the section. ALWAYS activate on the chords, which will usually be the verses.

And of course, play the song over and over again, obviously. Most people sneak in on this achievement by the slightest of margins.

Another practice strategy thanks to Acceleretto: "I'm just doing Verse 3 (the start of those bastard chords) in Practice and going up a speed each time I FC that bit."

This sucks because I had gotten this achievement before. But since my account was phished, when I got my profile back, my gamerscore was what is was before I was phished. This guide is pretty good and if I get GHAerosmith again, this will be one of the first achievements I go for.

Gah every time I play this song to beat the career on expert my game freezes and doesn't give me credit for beating it on expert. I got the achievements, but when I try and play it for the high score it freezes so I have to restart my xbox to try again.. Real pain.

Well, I'll NEVER get this cheev cause I can't SEE the damn notes. Thanks to the fucktards at activision and their lovely highway designs, I can't make heads or tails out of the chart and only get 205k on my run.

they darkened out the highway and lightened the actual notes/cords. try playing the game on a standard definition television, being a plasma is shit for games like that and lcd is the best way to go for this achievement. i scored on that song 335,743 (no word of a lie!) so if you are having problem with the solo at the beginning practice it and keep practicing the entire song. when you get to the GREEN_ _BLUE and Yellow_Green cords hold the one furthest away on the second part of the song it took me forever to get this achievement gave up untill just recently

I'm trying this now. I'm just doing Verse 3 (the start of those bastard chords) in Practice and going up a speed each time I FC that bit. I can do the rest of the song alright except for those chordy bits and a bit of the annoying solo 3/4 of the way through where they have charted it terribly

After two hours of half-assed practice whilst doing other things, I'm up from 195k to 300k. I recommend people do what I put in my comment above!

That practice on Verse 3 actually works I went on it on the slowest speed possible so I could see what the cords were switching to. It goes GY to RY etc. then it does GB to YB. Hope this helps.
My score was 328,375 when I finished.

My recommendation is play the song over and over again from beginning to end. I tried practice mode in certain parts I couldn’t get my multiplier by and that didn’t help for me when I would play the full song to try and put it all together I was missing parts that were easy before I felt like practice mode turned into a distraction. Once I turned hyperspeed (2) on and got use to it I noticed I could hit notes I couldn’t do before that ended up being the difference maker for me. It spaces the notes out a bit but the screen is faster I much preferred the spacing to help piece the close notes in the solo’s and chorus riff. Make sure to get all the star power you can even if it means missing notes before and after. I got it with 94% notes hit, 209 note streak and squeezed by with 326,818 points. Make sure to have 110-120k by the first half of the song that ended up being the benchmark I knew I needed 210k in the second half.

Looking at the leaderboards the only people who have unlocked this achievement were playing on expert. The highest score on the leaderboard for a hard attempt was 290,000 which leads me to believe that a score of 325,000 is not possible on hard.

You can only get the required number of points on Expert difficulty (you won't even get 100% on Hard). Therefore, we learn the riffs and practice the solo.
Here is a picture of the whole song on expert, it shows when is the best time to turn on Star Power.
