You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet 20
Maintain overdrive for 60 seconds.
Career > My Goals > Rock Band > Overdrive
Easiest done with a band that is coordinating full overdrive bars. Suggested songs: The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars, Handlebars by Flo-bots, Are You Gonna Be My Girl. It can also be done in solo play using Guns 'n' Roses' "Sorry" on expert guitar. YouTube has
some great videos to follow on that.
Millionaire Club 25
Get 1,000,000 on one song.
Career > My Goals > Rock Band > Score
Possible with 2 players on Hard/Expert depending on the song or 3 or more with players on medium or easy. Find a song you enjoy that has a good portion of triple chords or a lot of notes in general. Use overdrive together and keep your multiplier up! Dire Straits'
Walk of Life or The Flaming Lips' Yoshimi both have a ton of triple chords and paired with a good bassist and drummer you can easily snag a million points.
Rock Band Master 25
5 Star on Medium (or 3 Star on a higher difficulty) any 50 Rock Band 3 songs.
Rock Band Legend 30
5 Star every song in Rock Band 3 on Hard.
Rock Band Immortal 50
5 Star every song in Rock Band 3 on Expert.
Career > My Goals > Rock Band > Epic Rock Band 3
These three work in conjunction. Use your career "My Goals" section to track what songs remain. 5 starring all songs on expert up to 50 songs will net Rock Band Master then completing the set list will get Legend and Immortal as well. I recommend going for
all these AND Endless Set list 3 at the same time. The ES3 is unlocked from the start so you can hop right into it immediately. Anyone who is platinum in RB2 can easily achieve all these at once.

HOPO-cidal Maniac 25
Kill 53,596 Hammer-ons and Pull-offs.
Career > My Goals > Guitar Goals > Epic Goals
