Play through the game on all the difficulty levels. Don't overestimate your skills: jumping into a Metallica song on the expert difficulty level may lead to you failing out of a song. Familiarize yourself with the game's set list and make sure that you've mastered the various difficulty levels that the game has to offer. Hard and Expert levels offer more notes and higher speeds, and therefore more possible points.

Use the practice or rehearsal mode. This offers you a chance to work through any specific song or section that gives you trouble without any chance of failing. It's a huge time saver. If you keep failing halfway through "One" by Metallica, you won't have to continually play through the whole song to practice just that one section!

Save star power for difficult sections. With the extra boost to your rock meter that star power provides, you stand a much better chance of not failing during harder sections of a song. Tilt your guitar to use your star power.

Play on harder difficulties. Don't be afraid of the Expert level difficulty. Once you've got your technique down, it should be no problem. Higher difficulty means higher scores.
