Expert Bass Gold Star at About: 63,600 points.

I personally found I Wanna be your man the hardest to obtain. It is really simple to obtain gold star rating in the other three songs playing Drums.
If you are having difficult time in this achievement, there is always the Practice Mode.

Most of the songs were easy, except " I Wanna Be Your Man". Below shows the beatle mania path to Gold Stars on bass, as the other instruments are crazy on this song.

Absolutely the way to go - and check out the beatle mania path first, because it's important. I ran a full combo on this song on bass and still didn't pop 5 stars because I hadn't gotten a chance to use my last 1/4 bar...it's an easy song but you have to nail it.

EDIT: It's worse than I thought. My second FC I used all my beatle mania, but never hit the whammy bar on the short white notes, and still missed it. My third, I mistimed my last beatle mania and wound up wasting maybe 1/8th of a bar. My fourth FC was as perfect as I can get, and I barely cleared the gold star hurdle. Thanks for the video!

Works perfectly with this path. Whammied as much as I can, but I don't think it's required (I had a score of 64.903). Just try to activate as closely as possible to the video.

i've found a way of getting these achievements singing,you don't need to be a good singer and you can hum if you like or aren't comfortable singing

the key to getting this is to have more than 1 singer on solo vocals,1 mic per singer,works with 2 or 3 people

when you do solo vocals with more than 1 singer each mic still gets it's own pointer and the game will register whoever is on key at any given time,so even if you miss a bit your friend(s) will hopefully get it,i could only get around 90% on expert on some of these songs,however with a friend who was also getting around 90% we were able to 100% between us and gold star them,you can even get the percentages for each individual mic at the end of the song

i've used this method for 3 of the 4 gold star achievements so far and got them all in 1 night with ease,and only have 1 song to gs for the last one,which is pretty good for achievements i had given up on a long time ago

hope this helps someone

questions/comments welcome

Most of the info for this achievement has been stated before, but I'd just like to remind people about the gold star system in this game. Instead of getting 100% notes hit as with the Guitar Hero series, you must meet a score requirement. Getting 100% on a song DOES NOT mean you will get gold stars. However, certain songs do require 100% notes hit to get them.

If you are going for this achievement on guitar or bass, try to use the whammy bar on every held note to get additional points.

Also, Beatlemania timing is everything. Please refer to other guides that show when to use Beatlemania to get enough points!

Best of Luck!

(Please go easy this is my first guide).

First off, this achievement can be gained on any instrument of your choice, so use whatever your weapon of choice is and the instrument that you feel most comfortable with.

So not taking anything away from The Beatles (because they are the best band ever!), but let's be honest... they aren't as intense and as difficult as a lot of bands nowadays such as Metallica and Dream Theater when it comes music games. Expert in this game is much like Hard would be in the main Rockband games as well as in the Guitar Hero lineup. So if you can play Hard and play it fairly decently, this one shouldn't pose as a problem. Now to earn Gold Stars in Rockband games it's unlike Guitar Hero where you have to 100% the song. To get Gold Star you have to break the allotted score pre-set for the song. You can do this by executing solid star power paths and hitting in the high 90's for the song.

Now that that's out of the way, the 4 songs that require you to obtain a Gold Star rating are:
1. I Wanna Be Your Man
2. Octopus's Garden
3. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/ With A Little Help From My Friends
4. Yellow Submarine

Good Luck!!

**IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC SONG QUESTION, DON'T HESITATE TO LEAVE A COMMENT AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU A.S.A.P. AND TRY TO HELP OUT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. I HAVE COMPLETED THIS AS WELL AS THE OTHER 3 GOLD STAR SETLIST SPECIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS (MOSTLY DONE ON ALL EXPERT GUITAR; HOWEVER A FEW WERE DONE ON BASS).

This has been a deadly achievement as it took me 2 months of on and off playing to get this one but here is how I did it

I Wanna Be Your Man
I searched up on YouTube someone doing the bass of this song to see the rout for beatlemania and got it done in a day
Octopus Garden
Just trial and error for this one but eventually got it with a score off 59,382
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Thus was a pain and the reason why it took me so long. I searched on YouTube the rout for beatlemania and trial and errored my way to 115,457 points
Yellow Submarine
Not too hard, did this one on guitar and banged it out in about half an hour

And lastly I wish you good luck for this god awful achievement

To get gold stars on a song you must play the song almost perfectly in most cases, as well as use your Beatlemania at the right time. For this trophy you will need to get gold stars on these four songs. This can be done on any instrument, so pick the one you're best at and play it until you can get it gold starred. Sometimes it may actually be easier though if you choose a different instrument that is easy for the particular song, as it may be the hardest song for your best instrument. The songs you need to gold star are:

  • I Wanna Be Your Man
  • Octopus's Garden
  • Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band
  • Yellow Submarine

Gold stars are earned when you do very well on a song, it is possible to get gold stars and miss one or two notes, you will have to play on expert on any instrument for this achievement, like the others get used to the rhythm of the songs and practice if necessary. Finally using star power on chord sections is the key to scoring more points, look out for good places to activate. Some people find doing these as a band makes it easier. The songs you need to gold star are as follows:

I Wanna Be Your Man:
Expert Guitar Gold Star at Roughly:
89,000 points.
Requirements: 99% or better, use star power on the fast strumming sections but get the rhythm down first.

Octopus’s Garden:
Expert Guitar Gold Star at Roughly:
79,000 points.
Requirements: 99% or better and use star power as soon as you get it.

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band:
Expert Guitar Gold Star at Roughly:
130,000 points.
Requirements: 99% or better and use star power decently on the powerchords.

Yellow Submarine:
Expert Guitar Gold Star at Roughly:
94,000 points.
Requirements: 100%, when you get star power, use it instantly for all instances.
