How to unlock the 400K Club achievement in Guitar Hero II - Definitive Guide
If you're an expert guitar player (nothing godly...I just recently god good enough to beat Freebird on Expert) I'd recommend playing Freebird on Hard. I broke 400k on my first try and unlocked the 300k and 400k achievements.

On top of that, I would suggest X-Stream on Expert. I have been from 380k to 435k in 3 tries, while still not FCing or using an excellent SP Path (good, not perfect).

FCing?

As an extra to the above for those of us who don't play on hard/expert:
The only medium song this is possible to do on is Freebird, and even then you need to do quite well (98%+ of the notes, and a good SP path).
A chart showing a very good SP path is at (sections highlighted green are when you're earning SP, and sections highlighted blue are when you need to have SP active):
Edit: Image no longer available
If you follow this exactly (and FC the song), you should end up with around 440K or so. A more "lazy" path that's a bit easier (less whammying for extra SP) is:
Edit: Image no longer available
Again, assuming a FC and doing the SP at the right times you should net around 430K, well above the achievement.
Good luck!
Edit: the SP charts are unfortunately no longer available (or at least I can't find them). However, ScoreHero has a wiki with a description of a SP path that should net around 440K:
http://wiki.scorehero.com/Song_GH2_FreeBird_Solo_Medium
I *believe* this is the same path that was in the image I had originally linked.
Also, if you *are* a comfortable hard/expert player, your best resource is ScoreHero (www.scorehero.com), as they have lists of scores for all the songs in all GH games (so you can see which songs are possible on which difficulties, etc).

I might suggest that the negative votes come either from stupid peeps who down vote everything, that fact i think you should give credit for the pics to who ever created them or the website you got them from and i know some peeps have a problem with any1 who posts solutions for a cheevo when they dont even have it themselves.
These things dont bother me so u get positive from me tho.

Recommendation: Monkey Wrench on Expert..not too hard to FC for decent/good guitarists.

Playing Monkey wrench on Expert I only messed up twice missing 1035/1037 notes, hit all star phrases and ended up with a score of 413 178, and max note streak was only 505. So it it very do-able on this song. positive vote.

Define "decent". As in "good enough to 5* all songs on expert"? Or as in "can get through most songs on expert"?

My recommendation is X-Stream on Hard as you can get the 400,000 and 1,000 note streak fairly easily with a decent SP Path. And you do not need to FC it
if you have the money...buy the my chemical romance pack and play famous last words on expert...i easily got over 400k and i messed up badly on the solo. this song also works on medium to get a 1000 note streak. just giving another option.
Do this one on expert folks, SOOOOO much less work. Some good songs to do this in are: Monkey Wrench, Beast and the Harlot, Freebird, and X-Stream, X-Stream being the easiest.
