Introduction

There are no missable trophies in this game, however there is one glitched trophy. That is the “Metallica” trophy. Instead of playing through the whole game on expert you simply have to complete the last song on expert to get this trophy. The only cheat code that does disable trophies is the autokick cheat where the game “kicks” for you (when performing on drums). 5 playthroughs are required as there are trophies for completing the career with each of the 4 instruments and an extra playthrough for completing the career as a band as there is also a trophy for that.

Walkthrough

STEP 1: Tutorials

If you are new to guitar hero I suggest this is the first thing you do. You will need all the practice you can get in order to obtain the more difficult trophies in the game. Through this you will also become familiar with the guitar hero system. See "The More I See" in the guide for more info.

STEP 2: Playthroughs with each of the 4 instruments

Now, you will playthrough the game (career) using each of the 4 instruments ( guitar, bass, drums, and the mic).

My suggestion is that you play on easy for each of these playthroughs. It will make your life a whole lot easier. If you are good at the game and you feel the need to challenge yourself you can go ahead and play on medium, hard, or expert, whatever you are comfortable with. If you are having trouble with any particular instrument I suggest you play on beginner.

STEP 3: Trophies that require you to perform as a band (Offline)
Now, you will perform as a band and earn all the trophies related to performing as a band. A band is when 2-4 people , each on a different instrument perform a song at the same time. I advise you to find skillful partners for the more difficult trophies; but most of the trophies are quite easy and will come naturally when playing as a band. You should also finish the career as a band in this step. This can be done with as little as 2 people each with a different instrument. You could go with guitar and bass, or bass and drums, or any combination you desire.

STEP 4: Creating Custom Items

There are quite a few trophies that require you to create custom items, so in this step you will do so. Creating custom items is not difficult at all. Simple go to career and go to edit character, or edit instrument and whatever corresponds with the trophies. After creating a custom instrument, character, band logo, and tattoo, this step will be complete. See "Disposable Heroes" in the guide for more info.

STEP 5: Online trophies

These days there are hardly any people that play this game online so I suggest you use the boosting thread to find partners here: Trophy Boosting Thread. None of the online trophies are too difficult and will come naturally except for the band vs band trophy. Since there are hardly any people playing online its very very difficult to find one person let alone four. There is however an alternate way of doing this trophy. You can do this with 2 people each with 2 instruments on beginner. For drums all you have to do is kick and for the vocals you can put the mike near a fan or the speakers.

STEP 6: Trophies that require you to make specific scores on particular songs
These are by far the most difficult and time consuming trophies in the game. There are 6 of these in total, most of which have to be done on expert. There is no way you can cheat to get these trophies. These require pure skill and patience. You can watch youtube videos to learn the techniques that other people use and this forum is filled with people always willing to give you advice. See "Creeping Death" in the guide for more info.

The More I See

Go on "career" and choose "tutorials". To complete the tutorials, it is obligatory that you have all 4 instruments as there are different sections in the tutorial for each instrument. This is also a good opportunity to familiarize with the game, if you're new to the system. After completing each instrument's tutorial you will have this trophy.

Metallica
Complete any instrument career on Expert (Guitar, Bass, Vocals, Drums or Band) 

This trophy is glitched. You can choose to complete the entire career on expert or you could just complete the last song on expert, in career.

James Hetfield
Complete the career as the vocalist  

Connect the mike to the ps3. To do this you will also need a joystick. The joystick will serve as a controller for the mike. Use the joystick and select "career". From there select "vocals". Then, select the difficulty you are comfortable with.

It is not necessary that you complete all the songs. The way the system works is that once you have earned a specific number of stars (depending on your performance in each song) a new stage will unlock with a whole new set of songs. Once you reach the final set (which only has one song in it, complete the final song and you will have completed the career as the vocalist and will obtain this trophy.

Holier Than Thou
Complete all instrument careers  

Self explanatory. After completing all instrumental careers (drums, guitar, bass, and vocals), this trophy is yours.

One
Complete a song with any instrument on Hard or Expert in local Quickplay or Career  

This trophy is not as hard as it sounds. An easy way of obtaining this trophy is performing the song "Stone cold crazy" on hard. Vocals is much easier than the other 3 instruments, plus it is a very short song. After completing the song, you will have this trophy.

...And Justice for All
Earn 100 stars in Band Career or any single instrument Career  

Stars are obtained based on your performance in a song, 1 star being the minimum, 5 stars being the maximum. There are in total 250 stars. As a band (2-4 players), or solo (1 player) its not too difficult earning 100 stars, just time consuming. Any instrumental career will do. To see how many stars you have altogether select career and when you reach the list of songs look at the bottom of the screen. The number of stars you have will be there.

The Ecstacy of Gold
Earn $15,000 (1) 

You earn money after completing each song. The amount of money you receive depends on your performance. 100% on a song on expert will earn you about $500-$600. For easy money continuously do the song "Stone cold crazy". Its an easy and short song so it won't be difficult to master it.

Ride the Lightning
All band members trigger star power simultaneously (4 player band)  

For this trophy you will need four people, each on a different instrument. Star power is achieved when you hit a series of star shaped noted successfully. Once all four people in the band have star power they will all have to activate it simultaneously. For the guitar and bass activating the star power can be done by either pressing or by tilting the guitar. For the mike, either press on the joystick connected to the mike or tap the top of the mike. For drums, either press on the drum's keypad or hit the yellow and orange notes at the same time. Once you and your partners activate star power within the same time frame, you will have this trophy.

2 X 4
Earn a band Hot Streak (4 player band)  

A hot streak is when you hit 50 notes in a row. Once all the members of your band do so, you will have this trophy. If you are having trouble with this trophy play on easy or beginner on the song "Stone cold crazy".

Metal Militia
100% a song (4 player band)  

An easy way of earning this trophy is if all members choose beginner as their difficulty and "Stone cold crazy" as the song. 100% means that you can't miss a single note. Through practice and patience and using the method given, this trophy will be yours.

The Struggle Within
Complete a song in a band in Quickplay or Career (4 players) 

Very straightforward. Simply perform as a band and successfully complete a song that you and your band are comfortable with.

The Four Horsemen
Complete a song with all band members on expert in Quickplay or Career (4 player band) (2) 

This can be a pain if you and your partner's are not good at expert. If this is the case then I once again suggest that you play "Stone Cold Crazy" as it is very short and easy. Once the song is complete, you will have this trophy.

Nothing Else Matters
Complete the career in a band (2-4 player band)  

This can be done with 2 people each on a different instrument. Any combination of 2 instruments will do. Select "career" and select "band". Complete the career and the trophy is yours.

NOTE: Lately there are hardly any people playing online, so its going to be very difficult to find anybody playing online. I suggest using the Boosting thread found here: Trophy Boosting Thread

Blitzkrieg
Win an online Band v Band match (8 players) (4) 

With all 4 instruments connected select "online" from the main menu and either create a band vs band match or search for one. A band vs band match is when you play with your band against another band, on any song and the band with the higher score at the end of the song wins. You will have to win to obtain the trophy.

Wherever I May Roam

-Backstage
-Donnington Park

Black
Win an online battle match with the Fade to Black power up (1) 

The fade to black power up is a power up where, when used, the opponent's screen turns black, disabling him from seeing the notes. A battle is when two people do a song on any instrument they want, on any difficulty they want, where there are power ups that you can use to spoil your opponent's performance. During an online battle make sure that this is the finishing blow to your opponent. This means that your opponent has to "die" because of this power up.

NOTE: Lately there are hardly any people playing online, so its going to be very difficult to find anybody playing online. I suggest using the Boosting thread found here: Trophy Boosting Thread
