Does anyone have any advice on how to get the 400K and 500K in a song? Which song should i play to get these two achievements?

Long songs with lots of notes on a high difficulty level. Freebird comes to mind fast. Dead does. There's a bunch, but it depends on how fast you can strum the notes.
 
the easiest way to get 400K is X-Treme on expert, you can get 500K on it but u need to play perfect. the other song you can get 500k on is freebird but you have to play ridiculously good on the fast solos.

i had a feeling it would come to that. so do you guys strum up too or just strum down extremely fast? i suck at struming up.

I have a tough time at it too, but my problems with strumming up probably come from the fact that my strum bar's up strum is ****ed. But if you can learn to do both ways, you ought to. It makes it a lot easier.

easily beat 400K on expert xtreme... u can also do it on freebird on MEDIUM if you play it perfect. i was lookin at my score on the leaderboards and i've got like 404,000 on freebird on hard and just a rank or two below me is a guy with 403,000 high and he did it on medium. so i would try that first if you have a problem with the solos on hard. umm monkey wrench on expert annnndddd killing in the name of on hard/expert if you can double strum the ending :)

I've got 388,XXX on Freebird on Medium missing only four or five notes, so it's definately possible that way.

X-Stream is a good bet, and One for the Road is often overlooked simply because its a tad more difficult than X-Stream. One for the Road and Dead are both great for score whoring if you can pull it off.

I also managed to get 376,XXX on Monkey Wrench on Hard with a 700-something note streak. You might get it if you can perfect that song.

Fall of Pangea has a lot of notes as well, but it can be complicated in parts. I managed to get around 315 on Expert, and I'm pretty mediocre on expert.

Update: I just got 402,197 on Freebird on Medium with a 1127 note streak and 1240/1241 notes hit. Shoot for that, I guess.

Me and my buddy just started to do it, and it kinda sucks getting the timing down but good god it helps alot! This must be how you beat Jordan on expert? I can only get to 49% and then I fail

For jordan you pretty much HAVE to have star power. I think for most people that's obvious lol. Star power is the only thing that will get you through that song.

56% is awesome! I try so hard to break 50...but I still kinda suck at the game. I haven't got 5 stars on Hard, nor have I beaten the career on Expert...Freya...it hates me :(

freya is so dumb, it gets to that part where its like green orange blue green orange blue green orange blue and goes on and on and it kicks my a$$ everytime, it gets rather annoying and im pretty sure anyone could make a song like that, seriously i wish i could get famous off of a 3 note song.

That's so funny, I thought the same damn thing when that part was beating me! lol Now I'm up to Hanger 18 on Expert and it's not being very nice to me. I've made it up to 93%...I'll get there some day. I still can't strum up and down though...that sh*t is hard cause I'm more gamer than guitar player (I played a little bit for a couple of years than pawned my axe...I'll never do that again). I can hit almost all of the faster notes going down :))) but I make myself strum both ways just to practice.
