Guitar Hero Live

I found a faster way to do this.. If you have a reciprocating saw..

I used a reciprocating saw and wrapped the blade in duct tape so it wouldnt scratch the guitar.. then propped it up laying across the strummer and taped the trigger down on the saw.. You can get anywhere between 600 and 2000 strums per minute if you get the speed right! Just make sure this is your last achievement in case it destroys your strummer!

edit - I turned up the speed even faster than in the video and let it run for 1 hour and it got me from 26% to 35%.. so if you you set the speed perfect you could probably get this achievement done in about 10 hours starting from 0% progress.

edit - Got the achievement today after a few more hours of running it. The stummer still works too haha

For this achievement, you can just be in GHTV while it's cycling through songs and just strum as fast as you can/want during the songs. You don't actually have to hit 1M strum notes. Even doing it this way, it still a decently long achievement. If I remember correctly, I would only get 1% about every 5 songs or so.

First of all, big thanks to Hoff 07 for coming up with the great idea of using a reciprocating saw for doing this achievement in literally no time at all!

As I don't have a reciprocating saw but still wanted to something similar without much effort, I came up with this.
Once again, I'm NOT stealing his idea, I'm giving him full credit, this is just another method that probably more people can do as I'm using an electric mixer with a little bit of cardboard and duct tape. :)

I'm getting anywhere between 500 and 1000 per minute with this method, so it's not quite as efficient as a reciprocating saw, but still good for almost no effort at all.

Enjoy!




Guide for setup:

I used a regular electric mixer, you could probably use similar household objects too.



Remove one as you'll only be needing one.



This is what I used to make this work: Scizzor, Duct Tape, little bit of cardboard.



I then put the cardboard like this.



Some duct tape.



How it looks on the other side. (Use more duct tape if it seems loose)



The finished product:



Either simply hold it while it autostrums on your guitar or duct tape it in some way that you don't even need to hold the mixer!


Before you downvote, Please leave a comment as to why, or how I could make this solution better!

The other two solutions are key towards getting this in a speedy fashion: the more you strum, the better off you are. However, if you want to legitimately play songs to get your strums up, I'd suggest the following songs. The approximate number of strums are in the brackets. I'll be adding more as I come across them/they are suggested to me.

These are all on Expert and I tried to keep the strumming of hammer-ons to a minimum so the numbers could be increased by strumming every note.
