How to unlock the Excellent Constitution achievement in Guitar Hero Live - Definitive Guide
To get this you will need to use at least 18 plays(more if you don't get it on the first go). You can pick any 18 songs you want and all you need to do is place in the top five on each one.
This can probably be done on any difficulty but I would recommend playing on the highest one you feel comfortable with as you get more score on those and points are what determine your place.
Edit: Shoutout to JoeCamNet below for mentioning the fact that you can dashboard and quit out of the game if it looks like you might not get 5th place and you won't lose any progress. I assume you would need to do this before the song actually ended though so watch out. Be sure to check the intensity levels on the songs you pick! Even some of the 4 bar songs can be a little too much on the higher difficulties.
Find a song in which you can easily get to the top 3 in the leaderboard. If you can do it once, you can probably do it 18 times.
Choosing the song is VITAL.
It's funny how you can 100% a song and still be like a 100K behind the player who ends up first.... like always... and then you can actually make a few mistakes in another song and still end up FIRST every time with 50K to spare!
Tried this: FAMOUS by Charli XCX - I ended up betwen the 5th and 7th place the few times I played it. The best player in the bunch had 100K more than me even though I played flawlessly. THEN I played SEX ON FIRE (by Kings of Leon), and I ended up first. I played 18 times, always finished first even though I made a few mistakes. I was always at least 50K ahead of the runner-up!
When I leveled up, I was afraid the competiton would be tougher. It wasn't. It was a consistent 18 consecutive wins.
Not sure how upgrades affect the who you're playing against... but probably not much. I played with one base note upgrade and +1 multiplier upgrade the whole time.
When I had no upgrades because I wasn't at level 9, I was scoring low and finishing low on the top 10.
However when I upgraded my multiplier twice to x6, I was getting to the top 3 quite a lot and staying there because I was staying in x6 a lot.
I play on advanced difficulty normally, not good enough for Expert and Regular is too easy for me.

To play a song 'on demand' means to use one play token to play a specific song in the GHTV song list, meaning this trophy requires at least 18 play tokens. Play tokens can be exchanged for either gold coins which can be earned by playing songs in the 24/7 free streaming channels, or for hero coins which you can purchase using real world money.
Each time you play a song on demand there will be a real time local leaderboard to the side of the screen of you and nine other players that the game has randomly paired you with based on your shared skill level. Depending on your performance in the song at each moment compared to the other players, you will either move up or down the ranks until the final note has been played at which point the ranks for that song will be finalised based on the overall score each player achieved. To earn this trophy you need to place in the top 5 for 18 consecutive songs on demand.
I recommend that you don’t purchase the play tokens with real money but instead grind for them in the free channels. Playing the constant stream of new songs helps you figure out what the highest difficulty is that you can consistently perform well in and score more points but also what specific songs you find easy to give you an idea of what you want to be playing on demand. The good news is that you can choose to play the same song 18 times if you want and the trophy will still unlock (thanks to RaemNL for the tip) so while playing the free channels, note down any songs that you finish highly in (1st or 2nd place) with relative ease. Once you have 18 play tokens, simply choose one of these and play it 18 times. Remember that you need to finish in the top 5 each time to earn the trophy.
Even more good news is that the song only counts towards your streak if it's played to the final note. So, should you mess up one time or get paired with more skilled players and around mid song you're not confident you can make the top 5, quit the song via the pause menu where you'll be sent back to the song list and can try again without losing your streak though you will of course have wasted the play token. It's also a good idea to stock up on a few extra to allow for this possibility.
There are ways to boost your score to help push yourself into the top 5 more easily. Score upgrades can be purchased with gold coins in the store to improve, for example, the number of points you earn for hitting each note or increases to the maximum multiplier. See Specialist Shredder for more details.
