    Hardest song to play: anything once you start recording
  • @CulianJornog
    Hardest song to play: literally anything after someone asks you to play something

    "Stairway to heaven" is the hardest song ever. Its hard to play guitar while fighting the shop owner.

    With Hendrix riffs I think you have to go with something he said himself: "Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel". It's the same with Hendrix's riffs. A lot of them are easy, but to play them well you have to feel them, and Little Wing is no exception.

    Hardest song is definitely Wonderwall. Everytime I try to play it everyone yells and cheers and it's hard to focus.

    I'm sorry Tyler, but having never heard "This Charming Man" before just feels wrong haha. Definitely a classic. Johnny Marr did a lot for guitar in the 80s and his influence still carries on to this day with the plethora of quirky indie rock bands.
  • It both crushes my soul AND makes me as proud as a Father can be that my 14-year-old son can play quite a few of these Little Wing (S.R.V Version), Eruption and The Cliffs of Dover (intro...he's working on the rest!) The kid is a true virtuoso. Loaned him my acoustic a couple years back and told him I'd upgrade him if he stuck with it (He had been playing Bass since around 10 when he asked for one for his B-Day that year and got pretty good!) I've since bought him a new Fender acoustic...a Strat w/tube amp...and gave him refurbished a Sigma acoustic I got for $5 and a 12 String Yamaha I had given to me. He comes to my house every 2 weeks and shows me what he's learned in that time frame. Unfookinbelievable.

    I remember 'Hot Kross Buns' and 'Merrily We Roll Along' were two REALLY hard songs back in 1st grade music class.... much harder than all these.... its why all these songs have been covered, but nobody has EVER covered either 'HKB' or MWRA', they are just too hard so nobody wants to take on the 'Hot Kross Buns' challenge and inevitably look stupid.

    I love his guitar, has such a nice clear but deep sound and the design and colour is lovely.
  • Guy at a party: I know a really hard song to play *puts capo on the second fret*

    "top 10 rock songs we think are hard because they're popular"
  • I’ll always say Never Going Back Again, at a pace that is so incredibly hard to keep up with, It’s basically playing 2 polyrhythmic guitar parts on one guitar with lots of accents and a beautiful blue grassy/swing feel to it
  • I think the hardest part of playing Master of Puppets is the constant down picking. One of the first songs I learned (in case that sounds impressive, I still suck at guitar, lol). New to the channel, but I love it!
  • @tristanrjp
    No Lil' Wayne guitar solo? For shame WatchMojo, for shame.
  • @pawnhearts8785
    Half of this list are actually hard songs The other half are just tricky

    I really like how you mentioned how genesis flirted with the idea of tapping. A lot of people don’t realize how great early genesis was.
