Like the question says, what's the hardest song to play on guitar?

The Killers' Mr Brightside?

I dread the first half of Mr Brightside.. especially with a low slung Les Paul.

Also here to note down potential new songs!

According to some bickering on facebook apparently you're fuck all if you can't play april sun in cuba

And Mr Brightside... Top 40 from 15 years ago????

Get the Funk Out. I used to bluff the solo. Pissed naaaarthaners never seemed to care.

Maaate bangers are bangers!

I can’t tap, so anything with that in it.

Rainmaker (iron maiden) is pretty easy to fuck up.

I’d like to learn once an orange always an orange - that sounds pretty tricky (al stewart)

Not today's pissant top 40. Just top 40.

So uncomfortable to play.

Also, Snow by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's a bastard.

I was talking to a new teacher today. She was bemoaning the lack of live music locally. Just, she said: "... crappy pub bands playing April Sun in Cuba."

LOL

I'd rather bang my head into a wall...

Mr Brightside gives you cramps, especially the descent into the chorus, that’s a fair reach...

Yep. And I can't go from the chorus to the verse quickly.

Police, 'Message in a Bottle'
Cramps and relentless repetition. No respite and nowhere to hide. (When it's going well, it's epic!)

I have never in all my years managed to get the solo in 'Baker St' sounding proper.

And many Beatles songs make me nervous. There's a world of peril in not taking them seriously.

At least I have one advantage; I'm Slowfingers. If it requires widdle, someone else does it or it don't get done.

Yeah message in a bottle is a mission. Actually lots of Andy Summers is hard, I reckon he did it deliberately to humble cover bands.

Dick.
