There is no set order in which you can earn the trophies, but I’d recommend playing through the storyline first so as to get used to the songs and their rhythms, especially if you are new to either the Rock Band series or to the Music and Rhythm genre as a whole.

This game is aimed at both beginner and expert level players, but to earn all of the trophies, you’ll need to be able to play all instruments to a decent standard and you’ll need to be a pretty competent singer. The trophies shouldn’t be too hard to earn as the earlier ones are fairly simple, even for sub-par players.

You’ll also need two friends who can sing harmonies to a good standard in order to earn a trophy tied to using vocal harmonies. Along with this, you’ll also need 3 microphones, so you’d better get spending some of your heard-earned moola.
