Have a go at 'Dyers Eve'

surely the most difficult song to play by Metallica (excluding the solo)

About soloing...Probably something by Yngwy Malmsteen.

But people should not forget, that it's not all about speed.

Adding feeling to something is probably even more difficult.
for example: tin pan alley - SRV
- Vertigo

The hardest solo to ever try and recreate is the tapping section at the end of steve vai's last song called rescue me or bury me on sex and religion. There is no way on this earth anyone could play that, with no mistakes, without any lack of cleanly played notes and without any slowing down whatsoever. This makes eddie van halen and every other good guitarist out there look like beginners. This is only my opinion but If you disagree with me then learn it and prove it to me or find another "god" of guitar that can play it (or even the first page!!!.

There's no way that play a song from other person is harder than create your own music, without sound like a copy, or something you have listened before. Create your own sound. This is the harderest thing ever. (learn english is also a good one :)

just my 2cents

:]

The hardest thing I ever learned to play was "metropolis" by dream Theater from their Images and Words album.

I still know how to play Cliffs of Dover.

I know alot of Classical, but I always need the sheet music in front of me to play it, I can't memorize it so I consider that difficult as well.
Then there was sound

id say the hardest thing for me to learn on guitar is Eric Johnson's songs because he slides his fingers up and down so much but he also stretches his fingers while going up and down scales a million times in one second!!
freakin hard man!!
im also still workin on the Locked and Loaded and Cracking the Whip solos from Yngwie Malmsteen off his album Unleash the Fury
freakin hard as diamond!! lol ok ill stop

I would have to say the hardest thing is to find the correct TAB of the song you want to play. I can fingerpick Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. I once that it was soo hard and now it's rather enjoyable. :)
I am a constant evolving music machine. Oh Man, I just forgot what I was playing. Oh well, on to the next song. :rolleyes:

Most difficult track I WANT to be able play...
Theodore Ziras: "Virtual Virtuosity" (crazy sweep patterns and 7 finger tapping!!)

Most difficult track I can MOSTLY play (about 80%)
Michael Angelo: "No Boundaries"

Most difficult track I am learning to play:
"Flight of The Bumblebee" (tapping the length of the fretboard is pretty tough)
Listen to Superhuman shred on MP3Unsigned

Probably Invention #13 by Bach. It's the most "musical" thing I know.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

i tried to learn Scarified by paul gilbert's band Racer X but this section right here made me give up.

g-------15-12-9---------9-12-15-----------
d--------------------------------------------
a------------------13----------------------

not only is the stretch riduclous, the string skips insane but the actuall pattern of the notes is what killed me. The rest of it jumps around on the notes and its a bitch to follow and get used to.

Metroplis Pt.1 by Dream Theater

Dream Theater are robots programmed to play the impossible.
As you can tell, Im working on that song.
For life is quite absurd and death's the final word, You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

Most difficult piece would probably be 'Eugene's trick bag', but as has been said, it's all relative. I can now play along with or improvise over more or less any piece of music, which is far more valuable to me that being able to copy some other guy note for note.

It is nice playing a Vai / Satriani song and keeping up with the masters though...

I think "For The Love Of God" was kinda hard.. but the intro was easy though..
i didnt use any form of Tab, or notes to learn it..
but when it came to the really fast part.. it became harrrrd.. i still havent got it all down yet..

The most difficult solo I can Now play:

No Boundaries (only 90%, the up and under part perplexed me alot. :( )
Eruption - EVH (I did not sleep for 1 whole day just to learn the tapping part)
Home - Dream Theater ( just the solo)
Frenzy - Paul Gilbert ( It took me 2 months to perfect.)
Trilogy Suite # 5 - ( this is so damn Hard !!, one of Yngwie's Fastest)
Guitarplaying is 1 Percent Inspiration, 99 Percent Perspiration... :)

you realize of course you can move the 15[Bb] up a string to 11[Bb] it's the same thing.
