The hardest achievement of the game.
You have to got 100% on 4 different songs in QuickPlay, in GHLive (did someone try to do 4 FC on the same song? Maybe it works...)
EDIT : You CAN do 4 FC on the same song, it will count. Thank you Clad Master for the clarification.
EDIT 12/08/2015 :You can overstrum during a song, it will count if you stru 100% of the notes. Thanks you finallife6 for the confirmation.
I did my 4 FCs on those songs :
- My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up), by Fall Out Boy
- Here's to Never Growing Up, by Avril Lavigne (it was painful for my ears)
- Demons, by Imagine Dragons
- Everybody Talks, by Neon Trees
There are other "easy" songs you may feel more comfortable with :
- Lived a Lie, by You Me At Six
- Lies, by Deap Vally (there's a hard part near the end)
- Grounds for Divorce, by Elbow
- Club Foot, by Kasabian (beware of the strum part)
- Counting Stars, by One Republic (suggested by Clad Master)
- Bangarang, by Skrillex (suggested by iPro DubStepXx)
However, I advise you to play all the songs in Expert, to see which one you prefer: you'll need 20,000,000 points in QuickPlay for an another achievement.

The same song trick works too ^^
I found this for my last song haha
Also Counting Stars is a really easy FC
By Clad master on 25 Oct 2015 19:54
Thanks, I've updated the guide!
By JiTeuBey on 25 Oct 2015 20:21
No prob mate ! But the hardest cheevo for me is the 1000 note streak.I miss once or twice each time on Chop Suey or Lazerray >_<
By Clad master on 25 Oct 2015 22:47
Really? The FC on Lazerray seems to be easier than FC one of the GH Live song, in my opinion...
The only problem is that you have to spend a token on each try...
By JiTeuBey on 26 Oct 2015 09:33
^ That
No practice mode,no restart option and i have doubt on my calibration so yeah it's not so easy haha ^^
By Clad master on 26 Oct 2015 09:52
can anyone confirm playing ghtv works as i have done 2 on there now and no progress moving and dont want to keep wasting plays. if it does work heaven by psychadelic furs is by far the easiest song
By Bawhawhaw on 26 Oct 2015 12:17
By Clad master on 26 Oct 2015 12:22
ok thats cool so the one republic suggestion in the guide is wrong
By Bawhawhaw on 26 Oct 2015 14:02
Nope, Counting Stars is in GHLive too.
By JiTeuBey on 26 Oct 2015 14:53
most frustrating achievement Ive tried to get in a while...
also : bangerang isn't that hard... mostly just single notes and only one part that's fast so.
By sDnB on 26 Oct 2015 20:08
I know practice makes perfect, but wow this is painful.. lol
By Nickwassup on 26 Oct 2015 21:14
I'm over on the 360 version and I got this by getting a FC on Demons 4 times. The song is very slow and easy. Just watch out for the quick hammer ons in the chorus.
By Franco 4 127hrs on 27 Oct 2015 00:46
If you can do it all the same song I'd say 'My songs know what you did in the dark' is the best bet. Might just be personal preference, but I can't even consistently 5 star songs on advanced yet and have no issue whatsoever with the 100% on that song on expert.
By Pra1s3Th3Sun on 27 Oct 2015 08:43
While I haven't quite nailed the 100% yet due to dumb mistakes, Demons definitely seems easiest imo. might take a few tries to get the hammer ons down but after that its a case of just nailing all the notes which as Franco said are very slow for an expert song
By Bond OO7 on 04 Nov 2015 06:03
I think it depends of the player. Some will be more confortable with a low speed and few alterning notes, others will prefer strumming.
Anyway, in both cases, you'll have to train a bit before aiming at the 100%.
By JiTeuBey on 04 Nov 2015 09:22
Oh yeah for sure. I'm better at the intricate button changes than constant strumming so that's why Demons was best for me. At the end of the day its just practice practice practice. Just FCed it once. Time for 3 more!

"You have to got 100% on 4 different songs in QuickPlay, in GHLive."
I don't understand. I know this achievement doesn't pop in GHTV but does this work in Quickplay (as well as GH Live, as in the description)?
By GrislyGrizzly on 17 Nov 2015 20:56
GH Live is quickplay. GHTV is the mode with the channels and on demand songs for plays.
By ParticleDuality on 20 Nov 2015 05:58
So Demons.
First try, 4 stars.
Second try, missed 3 notes.
Third try, missed the TENTH TO LAST NOTE.
It's probably going to be the one I eventually get.
By koobz2142 on 23 Nov 2015 20:07
4th try, missed one note in the third verse. Got too nervous, started sweating. Slid across the fret board and played the wrong note.
By koobz2142 on 23 Nov 2015 20:10
5th try HOLY SHIT I GOT IT
By koobz2142 on 23 Nov 2015 20:14
Oh and obviously don't use star power. Obviously. (And take your time! I never strummed too late, it was always too early)
By koobz2142 on 23 Nov 2015 20:20
Demon is definitely the song for this achievement.
By EDOARDO1 on 03 Dec 2015 12:53
A FC is having a note streak through the whole song. So no, A 0 UB3RLOZ3R, you can't drop your streak between notes and still 100% the total amount of notes
By AngryKamehameha on 07 Dec 2015 18:18
Actually, in theory, you can 100% a song without getting a FC, if you overstrum, for example.
But we do not have the confirmation if the achievement is unlocked with 4 100%s or 4 FCs...
By JiTeuBey on 07 Dec 2015 19:49
I strongly suggest the song "what about love" by Heart
By Trevor2p on 08 Dec 2015 02:51
Sorry, but that song is in GHTV, you have to 100% 4 songs in GH Live...
By JiTeuBey on 08 Dec 2015 07:10
To answer your question, I just got the achievement on Light Em Up having over strummed, I know because I didn't get the FC (which is 704 notes BTW)
By finallife6 on 08 Dec 2015 16:23
Thanks for the info! I'll update the guide.
By JiTeuBey on 08 Dec 2015 16:25
R U Mine? by Arctic Monkeys is also a fairly easy song, personally after trying most of all the listed songs in this guide, I for some reason found this song the most easiest to 100%. This is just my opinion though.
By Mfyd on 25 Jan 2016 01:56
If this was for getting 99% on 4 expert songs I would have had it ages ago but keep messing up 1 note on Demons, so close yet so far. Fed up of restarting 'When the days are cold and the cards all fold..'
By x Shady Phoenix on 28 Jan 2016 14:15
I'm having serious problems with this achievement at the moment. I can't even get 100% on any song on Expert in GH Live because the calibration facility in this game is terrible.
I've played advanced and never had any problems with notes with notes randomly missing but then whenever I go to Expert and try this achievement, I always get about 20-30 notes into a song then a note will randomly miss eventhough I hit it.
I'm fast running out of patience with this game and I used to love all of the GH games back in the previous gen but this game has just thrown the series in the wrong direction and they've somehow made their calibration setting facility 10 times worse than Warriors of Rock which had a very good calibration tool (wish developers would stop thinking things are over complicated and not fix what isn't broken!).
My GHTV grind is nearly coming to an end and I cannot understand why this achievement is still not unlocked for me.
By Flopsy86 on 10 Feb 2016 17:16
the lag you get when you get star power of the pop up streaks is Abysmal
By SmithtaculaR on 21 Feb 2016 02:45
Finally unlocked this today, I echo TheDB93 that you need to calibrate specifically for the song. I found Demons to be the easiest by far, start up the song then go to options and calibration then turn game calibration on. Play the song as you would normally, you will probably 'miss' the first few notes but it will soon calibrate to your speed. Restart the song and you should have a much better chance of 100%. Also once you fit the first FC, keep going and the other 3 FC will come easy (once your heart rate has returned to normal)
By x Shady Phoenix on 15 Mar 2016 15:31
Looks like the latest patch added advanced calibration (finally) which should make this easier for some of you. Speaking from my experience spending the afternoon testing and fine tuning:
1. game calibration is the enemy, it adjusts the input lag and not the video lag, and if your video lag is off it will only make things worse.
2. set them both to 100ms and then add your tv's response time to the video lag if you know it.
3. fine tune from there, but you might not have to.
I went from lots of unknown misses to going minus 2 or 3 that I fat fingered, should be a lot easier now. Your mileage may vary of course.
By Chucklestyle on 27 Mar 2016 23:06
Just done this on 4 x My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark. Thanks for the tip!
By Ethel on 19 Jun 2016 12:41
trying to do this with Demons but I keep screwing up the few parts that have the middle white button followed by the 3 blacks one after another...I can get it sometimes but not every time...any tips?
By Crims0nScorpion on 17 Jan 2017 22:12
Counting Stars, Demons, When You Were Young are songs that fail to agree with me. I calibrated my game too many times and getting only getting a 4 note streak in the main song which is the whole thing is an embarrassment to the game cause I can't hit them. I don't know if my timing is off or the game just fails to communicate. Either way I was spending half the song flipping off the virtual crowd. The worst part is that if I can't even play the easiest songs correctly because of awful calibration settings, that's a new low, and I've been playing Guitar Hero for a while now and never had this issue.
By DrewAsDFRAG on 26 Jan 2017 23:08
I'm doing the song grounds of Divorce by elbow 100% twice its a really semple song
By UKz Nugget Boii on 24 Feb 2017 03:17
Well I've FCed My Songs... 6 times now but the tracker is stuck at 25%. Has this happened to anybody else and if so, is there a remedy?
By Benchem on 04 Mar 2017 11:24
I ll never gonna get that last achievement :(
Just got it on Demon's, after hours of practice, nearly know the song by heart, play notes by automatism.
By YamiEnki on 23 Jun 2017 18:45
i've been trying this for a while now but i just don't have the speed needed for this sadly :( looks like this will never be 100%
By FOV1863 on 28 Dec 2017 19:12
So here is my complete pansy way of doing this. Like many of you in the comments, no matter what I do and how well I play, the calibration seems completely inconsistent on expert. I have the skill level to FC easy songs but notes drop often for no reason. So the solution here is to not worry about combos at all. This achievement doesnt require an FC (full combo), just 100%. Meaning, I got it by going into "My songs know what you did in the dark" and just overstrumming really hard. Im talking twice as fast as needed. Every note was hit, and the 100% counted. Its very easy as far as notes are concerned, its just a matter of taking the easy way out.
By SimonCole82 on 29 Jun 2018 22:04
Although I don't have any of the 100% scores required yet, I have to agree with those saying Grounds For Divorce is the easiest to do this on. It's relatively slow, only two sections with faster hammer-ons, and it's pretty much the same pattern throughout the whole song. Only reason I don't have any yet is because of nervous chokes near the end (best note streak so far is 450 and song is only a little over 500). I don't consider myself overly skilled at this GH game, but this song for me is the easiest one.
By shadowninja25 on 25 Jul 2018 17:38
I have no clue at all about how to calibrate this piece of sh*t of a game for Expert difficulty. It's fine and everything on Advanced but, when I play on Expert, I miss a lot of notes I'm sure I should have hit.
EDIT: Was able to FC 4 times "My songs know what you did in the dark".
By Korewahondes on 25 Jul 2018 20:33
Can anyone confirm that over strumming still works. I've tried different songs and the highest I can ever get is 97%. I am almost convinced it won't work since it doesn't sound or look like I messed up at all.
By Lord Razorblade on 21 Nov 2018 18:12
Yeah I can confirmed that I overstrummed twice while going for this achievement. I was playing Demons when i heard the sound of missing a note and thought it wouldn’t count towards the achievement but when the song was complete I was surprised to find that I unlocked the achievement.
By DeathByCook1e on 24 Nov 2018 21:36
Things I learned today:
Wash your hands and dry them thoroughly.
Go to your calibration screen and be a perfectionist. You WILL hit 1 note early and 2 notes late (YMMV). Having perfect calibration means these will still count.
Acquire a taste for one of ID's better songs.
By koobz2142 on 23 Nov 2015 20:15
can you end your streak but get 100 percent and still get this achievment?
By A 0 UB3RLOZ3R on 26 Nov 2015 05:02
What makes this harder for me on some songs is the mixing in this part of the game, I find myself timing by sight in some songs because of the levels on certain sections.
By Calex dEUS on 03 Dec 2015 21:35
I just got this by doing Demons 4 times. The only tip I can really give is to make sure you calibrated correctly. I thought my calibration was spot on when calibrated and got an FC in GHTV, but that calibration didn't work for Live mode at all for some reason. I could never get the hammer ons for instance. I struggled for so long, until I decided to recalibrate specifically for Demons. I never missed a hammer on section after that.
Focus on one specific song and calibrate according to that specific song. If you have to recalibrate again when you go back to TV, then that's a very small sacrifice to make.
By WodverWizard on 01 Feb 2016 00:44
ok so i've completely given up on this achievement and perfecting the game...the calibration doesn't work properly, I can't for the life of me hit the notes in Demons properly without missing one or 2, my guitar can no longer strum upwards so most of the songs that have notes constantly right after another I can't hit so My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark is out as well as most of the others and I can't stand most of the songs in GHLive mode anyway as it's not really my style of music and the ones that are my style are way too hard to 100% for me so what I'm going to do is get the Day Achievement for playing 24 hours and being done with the game so it fixes my gamerscore...fuck this achievement I swear the GHLive songs are harder than the GHTV songs
