You do not have to do these songs, any songs on the Rock Band 3 disc will do. In the case with Pro Instruments, you might need to learn the song so you can get a decent score and be able to pass it. If you are going to play the song without learning the song, I suggest you do it on Medium, as to 5-star on Easy requires about 90% of notes hit, the proportion of notes needed is considerably lower on Medium. However playing on Easy doesn't force you to play chords, which makes it significantly easier for sightreading.

To do: Put in artist names.

Can you confirm whether or not you can use DLC to work towards this achievement? (Don't Bury Me and Outer Space I am REALLY struggling on...)

CLARIFICATION: I found that the achievement description left me with questions, to basically sum it up "If I completed 24 songs on easy, getting 5 stars, and I couldn't get another song on easy would I be screwed?" The answer is no. I know this because I got 3 stars on 24 songs on medium, and I suck a Low Rider so I got 5 stars on easy.

This achievement description should read "Complete 25 different Rock Band 3 songs on Pro Guitar, getting 5 Stars on Easy or 3 Stars on a higher difficulty."

To get this achievement I recommend playing on medium as it is much more forgiving (star and score wise) and as a result easier to get the achievement.

Playing the easier songs will help too so I advise that you sort by difficulty and proceed down the list. If a particular song gives you trouble it might be better to skip it and move on.

However if that doesn't help and you feel like you've hit a wall skill wise, Rock Band 3 has a new mode in the "Training" Menu called "Learn A Song". This will allow you to play sections of the song you wish to improve at much like you would in the instrument trainer.

One tip for playing that I have is to utilize the pause button. This will help you position your fingers properly so that you can hit a challenging note or chord, hopefully without breaking your multiplier. USE WITH CAUTION, If you pause too many times during any one song the game will sense foul play. You will know because your star meter in the top right will be reduced to zero and will not progress.

I hope my guide helps.

For this specific achievement I cannot say with certainty. But I can say that with other achievements in this game that are similar (____ stars on ______ far 25 RB3 songs) that DLC does not work. So it would be a small leap to infer that DLC will not work for this achievement as well.

I'd like to throw in my two cents.

I found this to be MUCH more difficult than Pro Bass Apprentice.

A few tips I want to throw out for you.

-You're going to HAVE to learn how to play some of the chords in the game. Go through the power chords lesson in pro trainers (In fact learn as much as you can, they help tons) and learn that as much as possible because that is really going to help you in the long run.

- 3 starring some of the songs on medium were a pain. I got through about 20 or so songs by 3 starring,the others I could 5 star on easy.

-You can have a mix of 5* easy and 3* medium songs.

Just be patient and take it easy. This will come to you and you'll feel phenomenal once you've done it.

Nothing too difficult. Just don't forget that it must be 25 songs out of the 83 on-disc songs (DLC and imported songs doesn't count).

For most people, getting 3-star on Medium (with No Fail activated) is easier than to 5-star on Easy.
