How to unlock the Pointdexter achievement in Guitar Hero Live - Definitive Guide
You can see how many points you have scored so far in the Game Hub or in the TA leaderboard:

My general tips to score big are:
1) unlock as many upgrades as possible, especially BASE NOTE VALUE (4/4 will cost you 30K coins), MAX MULTIPLIER (4/4 will cost you another 30K coins)
2) play at the difficulty where you can maintain your max multiplier (x7) for most of the song
3) try to improve your skills so you can play ADVANCED difficulty (each song will give you approx. 200K to 500K points) or EXPERT which (if played well) will give you even bigger scores
I unlocked the 50M cheevo just an hour or so before reaching LEVEL 20, so it takes twice as much time to get this.
This song is a bit harder than the other songs listed, aside from cry of Achilles on expert. There is really only 1 part that is difficult it has really fast hammer-ons into triple chords for like 20-30 seconds, luckily they only play that part once.
Anyway, I've been playing in Song Catalogue to find songs I'm good at to score big on and work on the 100 songs on demand. So far Lazerray on expert and Whirring on Advanced are top ones for be both reasonably ok on those difficulties. Depending on level you can get 500-600k on each one without too much trouble as they are all chords.

Each time you play a song on GHTV either through the 24/7 free channels, the premium content or the songs on demand, you will finish with an overall score reflecting how well you performed. The more notes you hit the higher your finishing score.
This trophy will come naturally over time but there are ways to speed it along:
1) Play on the highest difficulty you feel comfortable with. The higher the difficulty, the more notes available to be hit and so the higher you score. However, a 95% on advanced usually scores better than a 70% on expert so there’s no point forcing yourself to play on a difficulty too high for your skill set.
2) Upgrade your guitar! From the GHTV menu, select 'store' then click on guitar upgrades. From here you can use gold coins to purchase a number of score boosting upgrades such as one which increases the base value of each note and one which increases your highest achievable multiplier. Each skill can be upgraded three times, for 6,000, 9,000 and 15,000 gold coins respectively.
3) Occasionally use different hero powers. There are a number of hero powers available to choose from that can help such as 'Score Chaser' which is unlocked at level 19 that doubles your maximum multiplier. However note that these are limited in the number of times you can use them before you must purchase more from the store for an average of 350 gold coins. Therefore it's unlikely you’ll be able to regularly use them.
4) Play songs on demand that score you high points! See Nailed It for more details.
