How to unlock the No Need For A Hero achievement in Guitar Hero Live - Definitive Guide

I did this using lazerray by tv on the radio and regular difficulty. I missed 1 note and scored 479,892. Very easy to get using this song.

Edit: sorry for that I left out some vital info, Guitar needs some upgrades. The upgrades I used are as follows,
-Base score: upgrade 4 of 4 this will cost 30,000 coins.
-Max Multiplier: upgrade 3 of 4 this will cost 15,000 coins.
-Multiplier speed: upgrade 1 of 4 and will cost 6,000 coins.

My song of choice was Still Into You - Paramore on Expert. I had Base Score 3/4 and Max Multiplier 2/4. Ultimately it's all about leveling your guitar skills until you're overpowered enough to make it within your reach given your skill level.

Another good tip for those playing on expert: selecting the hero power that increases the difficulty level will remove all hero power phrases from the note chart. There isn't a higher difficulty, the game knows it, so they don't even bother to allow you to obtain the ability mid song. That will prevent you from accidentally activating mid way through the song.

Only needed 4/4 for Max Mulltiplier (x7) and played Chop Suey! on Advanced difficulty.
Was good to get about 470,000 but needs to be near perfect.

This is also good to get the 500,000 achievement with if you use a few x2 multiplier hero powers.

This may not be good for some people because of how fast it is but I went with this because there are hardly any difficult switches between the Black and White frets and in the two sections there are, you have plenty of time to make the switches.

I have a problem on expert with a bunch of upgrades is easy money.

It has difficult technical segments, but most of it is the same chords over and over. If it's too hard, get more upgrades and do advanced. There's a reason the top score is 2000000!

YingTao 666, great choice, got this first time on cry of Achilles. Plus, got to listen to alter bridge so that's even better

Do this on expert with max multiplier upgraded once and base note score upgraded once and you can get this and Nailed It together in one go. Makes it better so I can focus on maxing out hero power now since the score ones are out of the way. Farming coins sucks so that is a fast method

I Second Ying Tao

You can potentially knock out maybe 3 achievements on this. I'm not sure how many notes there are but there's atleast 900 notes on Cry of Achilles by Alter Bridge.

I knocked out this achievement and the 500,000 score on this song. And I missed a few notes on regular difficulty.

I just got this by doing Cry of Achilles by Alter Bridge on Regular. I have level 3 base score, level 3 score multiplier and level 2 multiplier speed. If you manage to FC this song on regular, I scored 553, 443 without any power ups first try.

Got this playing Pink - Try on Expert.
I'm normally crap at Expert level, but it's not too hard a song and I was doing this towards my cheevo for the 50 stars on Expert on GHTV as well, so a happy surprise when it popped up!
Think I got about 430,000 (which sits nicely with going for the 50 million points too, thank you very much!)

Obviously helps if you've upgraded yourself a little bit too.

(Online - UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE)

This trophy can be earned more easily on expert or advanced difficulty though it is possible on regular if you purchase enough guitar upgrades. Your score increases with each new note that you hit but maintaining high multipliers and playing songs with a lot of chords will boost the score higher.

You aren't allowed to use any hero powers though guitar upgrades are not specified so if you're struggling to achieve a score of 420,000, then feel free to grind for gold coins in the free channels to earn enough to upgrade the relevant skills. See Nailed It for more details on guitar upgrades and song suggestions.

To get this trophy as quickly and easily as possible, you first need to improve your skill to increase points from each note. As soon as you make 4 improvements, go to the song catalog in TV mode, select Gerard Way - No Shows, and play it on expert difficulty. It is very light, and you can get a decent amount of points from it.
