The most difficult piece of music you can play?

Neon by John Mayer. :cool:

The introduction to Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine

/runs off crying

Mine is Leyenda, I'm not into shredding so I mess with classical for hard to play difficult pieces

To this day, the last solo he does in Alan Jackson's "...don't even know your name." is the one lick that I can never phrase properly!!!
Now I realize that Country stuff ain't exactly the main thing round these parts, but the guitar playing those guys do is amazing. Been chasing that style for years,even though I don't really like the songs that have been comming out of Nashville for the last 10 yrs or so,the solos can be out of this world.
Brent Mason, for those of you who aren't familar, is a session player in Nashville and is probally one of the best guitar players on the planet. He literally can play any style. His playing is all over the Radio and TV,(all the music on Friends,besides the opening theme song, is Mr.Mason.) Not to mention commercials, Film , the list goes on and on. Do yourself a favor and check him out!!! Terry Couch has a whole bunch of lessions here in Brent's style. Check him out, even if you don't play that style cause the guitar playing is top notch.

Er, I don't learn alot of peoples songs, but I'm almost done with the first movement of Bach's unaccompanied Violin Partita #3.

aerial boundaries - Michael Hedges

hard to learn but truly amazing song

Paganini's Caprices are challenging... most classical music that is transcribed from either piano or violin is pretty challenging though. Paganini's Caprices are a total collection of violin techniques thus you must learn a lot of techniques for guitar to be able to play them note for note. I would say the collection of Caprices by Paganini are some of the more difficult pieces for guitar.

I saw someone put Neon by John Mayer... and I would agree with that. That song is a little difficult at first... Its even harder to sing and play at the same time. Most people don't write pop songs that use sweep picking throughout the entire song... but John Mayer does...

most hard thing that i can play is possibly flamenco stuff or iron man's solo's

When I played a duet with my Music theory teacher at my highschools talent show, The song we played was respect the wind by Eddie Van Halen, but this is kind of a lame question as its a lot easier to learn someone elses feelings and notes but when you try to write something like that impossible, Respect the wind has way too much feeling in it, he makes that guitar sound ghostly, took all that school year to learn something that resembled the song as my guitar was nowhere near as good as eddies wolfgang so the squeals and feedback werent as crisp

As you can tell, Im working on that song.

Yes that song took me a long time to learn but i was still young when i learned it, the run he does after the breakdown to me is still near impossibility as my shredding is not nearly as good as my blues style which is still not very good. John petrucci, to me is the best guitarist Ive heard, Although Synyster Grant is rapidly gaining my respect as one of the best young guitarists, if you havent heard avenged sevenfolds new album you must get it my friend had it and i thought i was listening to a new dream theater cd until that bat country song came on

Whitesummer (Black Mountain Slide) by Zeppelin and i dont got it all yet

how sad

Hmm...song's don't seem that hard when you can play them, it's getting there that's the problem. So in that respect, the hardest song for me to "get down" so far might've been just this little classical diddy, but just because my picking hand wasn't used to that. Of course that doesn't count songs I gave up trying to learn due to difficulty, and I don't learn a whole lot of songs anyways.

Man, I hope that's true for metropolis. I'm working like mad on that song.
