Top 40 cover band: hardest song to play on guitar
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!

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

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)

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

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

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.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

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.
