List all of them!

letme see....
1. Eugene's Trick Bag - Steve Vai
[can play in full and smooth but slower by 50% ]

2. Arpeggios from Hell - Yngwie J Malmsteen
[only part 1 of 3, way slower than the original]

me just noob ....

metallica - blackened
steve vai - for the love of god (only halfway through)
some classical songs from guitar pro default samples

Haha... my jaws dropped when I saw your list. Shred god in the making.
Anyway not sure what's the hardest song I can play, but the song I'm currently learning is probably the hardest in my list :
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Testify

The feel, the tone, the groove... to SRV.

SRV that's tough like hell man...the tone and the speed is way hard to follow....

SRV mary had a little lamb and love struck baby
got all the rhythm down but just cant seem to get it to sound right...
so i guess its the hardest song for me...
and juz recently went back to finish off back in black.... not really the most impressive song but hell the bends are quite difficult to nail... for me

Yeah, the only part I could play perfectly is the first few bars, after that it's all a mess hah. How SRV plays it live smoothly is a wonder.

Legend...

I think for me so far ..... can play almost everything that i want to learn from Eric Clapton to Santana and in between

everybreath you take - the police. those finger streching chord is the killer.

Dream Theater - Fatal Tragedy ..
LOL not yet..


Probably Metallica - One...

For me alot of song hard to play but anyway I still practising

No boundaries - Michael Angelo
Serrana -Jason Becker (not full song, only part that as we can see he play in 'Legend of Jason Becker')

Still alot to work on.

No Boundaries , wahhhh this one is a killer man.... i can't even imagine playing the intro....whenever i listen to this song, terus potong stim, no more mood to play...the speed is killing u fast and sharp....

Black Label Society - Suicide Messiah (Almost getting the solo part nailed down)
Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears (Riff, intro solo.... the main one still needs work)
Some late Metallica... and that's about all the impressive ones.

wah.. jemi learning no boundaries!
as for me, hardest song learnt in my list would be..erm..master of puppets? not much time to learn coz preparations for spm.. will haf a learning spree after spm

hotel california - eagles, can play evryting until the 1st solo only
master of puppets - metallica, evryting except the solo part
n just about evryting else related to korn, deftones, linkin park, system of a down.

i guess my solo part is very weak. plus my guitar only got 21 fret.

I've forgot what I know how to play but I used to play Metallica back in my formidable days...
Master of Puppets, Of Wolf and Man, Sanitarium, One, Enter Sandman or whatever that sounds cool and easy on the ears (re: mainstream =S)

Now, I don't play anything since only 20% of my band is in the same country as me (which means I'm the only one here, haha) and the latest thing I've played is an S.H.E song (no jokes pls). Here, have a listen:
http://ccl.webhour.biz/TK.mp3

My skills are probably lost 'coz it's been some time since I've wood-shed or subscribed to GW =/ Bottomline for me: no band = no fun = no point playing.

Party2DMax, yeah i understand how u feel....it's boring to play alone, there's no more meaning to play songs....that's y i mostly play fraction of songs where i like...like maybe the intro or the solo or the riffs and hardly the complete song....

i'm practising an Iron Maiden song, which is quite simple but hard to master...i can play the song along the Guitar Pro track but i haven;t learn the solo yet....and it's called The Wicker Man

Haha... it's bloody good man, Better than the original version. XD XD XD Really!

linus and lucy-the charlie brown/peanuts theme.

that is by far the hardest thing i ever learnt to play (and am still learning), definitely beats the difficulty of any shred stuff i've learnt before

Anything which is timed with delay, where you have to play like a metronome (or the whole thing falls apart and sounds like shit all of a sudden), like flight of the wounded bumble bee by extreme or cathedral by van halen.

you planning to play the upside-down thing too?

or maybe play on a lefthanded guitar while still fretting with your left hand over the fingerboard and picking with your right. Damn!!!!!!!

gee slayer, i can't wait to see u perform like mike angelo....the most outrageous thing i've done to my guitar is burn the string with lighter (it'll break) u'll get the high pitch sound when it break hahhahahaa.... silly me

ssslayer, isnt it right hand fretting d fingerboard while left hand plucking?

tallica's master of puppets, The outlaw torn ( part where james solo), Unforgiven 2

iron maiden's rainmaker

Sh!t! I've only tried placing electric toothbrush in front of the pickups! Sounds bloody awesome.

Dildos are a lot better I think (As you can control the speed), anyone got a spare one??? Preferbly unused.

Thats hard & wierd man.

If youre talking about the michael angelo picture, its the left hand fretting and the right hand picking, hand this guys shreds just as fast playing like this as compared to when he plays 'normally', well, normal for us.

If youre talking about the linus and lucy song, its both hands tapping different melodies at the same time, that why its so difficult. I first saw stuart hamm playing it on bass (BASS!!!) and its a very catchy tune

jimi hendrix - machine gun
need some whacked out electric for this.

stairway to heaven got most of the major parts right, still working on the nitty gritty fills and jimmy's solos

some classical pieces - canon and classical gas.

Im the real noob
After 8 months intensive guitar practise I can play:

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (solo aswell)
GNR - Paradise City (all rhythm and first solo)

classical gas?hey can you give the tabs for it.I want the accurate one

the powertabs one is pretty accurate

the mason williams version in ultimate-guitar.com is pretty accurate.
but i improvise some part of it here and there ler.

Try make a new thread for your question.

Guys, please stick to the topic.

Cleaned up some "spam"

hmmm maybe,
Like An Angel - Yngwie Malmsteen

another shredder in da house.... BTW how u play the first intro classical part? u use a classical guitar or u skip that part? .... it's a hard song to play .....

i'm trying my hand on Wylde's Speedball.... but just can't get the speed only the ball ....

Update on me: Now my hardest song is "Nothing Else Matters" (whole song including solo)

Waaaah. Want to try out Speedballer?? You got balls indeed. Always wanted to learn that song...... But can't even get the first note right!!!!!!!

well actually i modify the songs a lil bit to suit my lack of skills....i am trying (given that i dun give up half way thru it ) .... it's fast (as fast as lightning) and u have to really stretch ur fingers....i only play 30% as fast and shorten the notes that i have to stretch... i hope with practise i'll get better... i love this song so much....

i've been wanting to learn Mr Crowley's solo for god knows how many years. i gave up at every attempt hahah...

Metallica
-Master of Puppets (everything except fast solo)
-Welcome Home (Sanitarium) (everything except fast solo)
-One (half-fast solo)
-Fade to Black(whole song)
-King Nothing (whole song)
-Nothing Else Matter(whole song)
-Sad But True (whole song)
-For Whom the Bell Tolls (whole song)
-Wherever I May Roam (everything except last part solo)
solo-ing wit foot on wah pedal...*scream* *scream*...

Black Label Society
-Sold My Soul (half-solo)

waaa, Im still learning too,

btw, first classical? I think it has the same difficulty as other solo part., I got brunswick guitar btw, to try the classical part, but if you too lazy or dont have extra fret on accoustic guitar, just play the electric in clean mode

the most difficult part is when changging from appergios into blues, minor then major ... its really complicated scales
then after the major sustain , we play the most craziest part .... mostly I failed to play this part cleanly ...

as long as we follow the scale and pattern , then we just need to learn the speed.
SpeedBall? What is that?




hey I loved Iron Maiden too, do you play fear of the dark?? I love that song.

about Zakk, yeah that guy is insane .., anyone can master Livin the live??

speedball is one of wylde almost accustic solo (or maybe clean electric ) ... yeah i love iron maiden ... been practising The Wickerman from scratch... i love that song...try it, not that hard anyway

You mean Zakk's band from the movie Rock Star, The Steel Dragons???

Yeah... Livin' The Life..... Excellent track..... even crazier solo.

Speedball is when you put an ounce of dope onto a spoon and then heat it up......

Speedball the song........ is the equivilant of playing a guitar right AFTER taking a Speedball....

learning eric johnson's manhattan atm. it'll be quite a while before i nailed the whole riff down. not forgetting those crazy solos

man, those jazz chords are crazy and yet beautiful.

This post has been edited by xnobys: Dec 6 2005, 08:49 AM

i tried learning Eric Johnson's Manhattan once... didn't work out hehehe

anyway, the hardest song i can play is Metallica's Blackened, including solo.

Right now
Trivium - Like Light to the Flies,
Pull Harder on The Strings of Your Martyr(Still can't get the solo down >_>)

Metallica - Master, One, Enter Sandman ..

Slayer - Raining Blood , Angel of Death ( Solo? Heh . heh. Belum.)

Avenged Sevenfold - I Wont See You Tonight Part 2 ( Giler punya solo)

Wow, Slayer??? Beware of RSI man!

i just learnt one full song lately : aways with me, always with you, by satriani
i don't know any other full instrumental song

but i can improvise one

hmm probably the hardest song im learning now is dream theater's overture 1928? i can play the whole song, except for the near the end solo part where it goes into slight appregios(i tend to miss notes due to picking notes a bit harder than usual ) .Somehow i find the intro to mr.big's green tinted sixties mind abit hard to play right in tempo for the real song..

Currently learning SRV's Texas Flood and Lenny, and switching to gauge 11s doesn't help the bendings.

z3r0l33t,

Wah, so many lead players here.

I am a pure rhythm guitarist(will solo sometimes if the song calls for it) and I am always looking for fast stuff to play(i.e metal)

Rhythm wise I can play X-Japan Silent Jealousy, Sadistic Desire, Weekend, Blue Blood...

Metallica Master of Puppets, Four Horsemen...

Iron Maiden The Trooper, Two Minutes to Midnight, Hallowed be Thy Name, The Number of The Beast...

Currently learning Children of Bodom Triple Corpse Hammer Blow and Kissing the Shadows...

green tinted sxties is a great song.... the intro is amazing
i got the tempo right but i find it hard to eliminate the unwanted noise with muting
great intro!

respect... respect...

after nailing down some old skool rock solos, i finally find some confidence in learning something like jazz or blues. this will be my very first attempt on an intrumental song full of solos.

just like you, i enjoy playing rythm than doing solos but practising rythm riffs alone is quite boring.

Whats RSI ? XD

Slayer = pure trash pwnage.

i notice most of us here plays metal and rock....anyone play classical? i found that classical is much harder to play, especially those plucking and scale run...it seems different, in terms of fingering and timing...

That's true. After hearing Zakk's classical work (on his demo tape to Ozzy)... totally different beast all together.

RSI = Repetitive Strain Injury

heya led_zep_freak, arigatogozaimasu actually i dont really consider myself good at all..we all have our styles of playing, like your blues playing, i really love it! too bad my feel sucks and mann, if you can actually play those 2 songs with those gauge, respect!!! its damn hard to get the feel as well as the timing

heya there, man truthfully speaking i think nailing the rtyhm parts is just as hard as learning a solo, and i have ta admit, while im thankfully able to at least play some solos properly, i really really suck at rtyhm im kinda bad at counting timing cos im too used to practicing to a metronome..rtyhm is sometimes more important than solos

Nah, after 2 days of failed attempt on Texas Flood, I can barely do a vibrato. How the hell SRV does all that with his .13s, only God knows.
Hey, you shouldn't be so modest, you're doing very well with the shred thing.

Actually, imo, rhythm is most of the time more important than solos.

dunno if this is true or not, but i read it somewhere on the net (like they say, if it's on the net, it must be true )

SRV once accidentaly tore off his callous before a show, and in order to perform, he superglued it back on his fingers!

Holy shiet!!!that must have hurt like hell..imagine him trying to do a vibrato right after that..

It's safe to say that Cromok Another You is teh hardest song for me..took me 3 months to learn...

wait till you try Cromok's I Don't Belong Here!!! it took me 4-5 months to master! and i had to skip a lot of classes to achieve that hahaha....

Woah so semangat ar, skip class just to play guitar.
So now you bring your guitar to your office to jam during lunch hours ya?

Metallica - Creeping Death - can't keep up with the solo...too fast
Metallica - Master of Puppet - the beginning of the fast solo is just

i skipped classes coz i had the impression that i was gonna be a rockstar hahahaha!

until the reality of life stepped in...

i dont think ive ever finish learning an entire song
either too many repetitive bars, too hard or too fast

i think the hardest song i can play atm is eugenes trick bag.... but only 2/3 of the original speed 88bpm instead of 138
srv's mary had a little lamb

i can play almost all the "creative" exercises in Guitar Technic from december how exciting is that ?

i can play Mariage D'amour , hmmm classical gas , Souvenir D'enfance ... Me classical nooob

Sigh....... still hard at work on Mr. Crowley and No More Tears.
I've been trying for so long it should be called "Nothing But Tears"

the only classical piece i can play atm is rondo ala turca

stop playing guitar and do a one-man show somewhere

Eh evo.com, what about Romande D Armour?? Dunno meh?

i dunno la.... nice r?
i only learn the rondo ala turca because i saw a vid of someone playing the metal version.... damn chun... summor it looks and sound complicated...hahah
recommend me some good classical pieces la....
cant find the tabs for PGs guitar from mars I

You probably know how to play it already.
http://www.guitaretab.com/r/romance/16473.html

Hi,

Still a novice, not a shredder, so here goes:

Hendrix : red house, voodoo child, fire, manic depression, purple haze, spanish castle magic (learning)
clapton (bluesbreakers) : all your love, hideaway, steppin' out (learning)

can't play a whole proper song on a single take though

Flight Of The Bumblebee





No, i'm just kidding. Hmm, how could that song be hard to me if i can play it? I guess, ol skool Metallica songs are hard. Can't play all of em, but quite enough to content myself.

me can play

Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns and Rose's
Hotel California - The Eagles

Can play similar to those song only bad sound quality bcoz using cheap guitar.

i can play the easy metallica song la...
not like u all....

1.Enter sandman-metallica.(without the solo la...)
2. Nothing else maters-metallica.(whole song)
3. For whom the bell i donno...(the whole song)
4. fear of the dark-iron maiden(not the solo la...
5.sanitarium-metallica(no time to spend on solo la...)
6.master of puppets-metallica(trying to run down the solo la...)the
hardest of all metallica's song...
7. ride the lighning-metallica(without solo)
8. where ever i may roam-metallica(no solo la)
some other songs la...
but without the solo la...but fade to black i can play the song with the solo coz its easy....one of my hardest song la...

can someone play canon song? dmn saw someone play at the web, the rock version.. so hard....

a lot but one of the hardest songs to me.. also one which i think ill only master after ive graduated.. or so i hope..

RacerX - Technical difficulties ~~!!!

cant even seeem to get even close to nailing the intro guitar verse... at 3/4th the tempo!!.. damn frustrating !

Hardest song? Dunno.

The one that I get the most satisfaction out of when getting it right after 1284 tries: John Mayer, Neon. I kid you not.

BB king's vibrato

It's hard to say what's the hardest song I play. I suppose Steve Vai's "Juice" is technically the hardest. Lots of slides/whammy/bends/harmonics. It's the hardest but most fun.

don't i know you from somewhere..? dude we should start a john mayer cover band.

most satisfying/hardest guitar song i can play is the acoustic version of incubus's 'pardon me'. mike einziger's the man.

stop following me around

Practise ur major scales... actually it is not so hard compare to those Vai's song...but i am still no good yet

my friend practise it in around 3 days and he went perform .... that time was in a rush and he didnt know this song and last minute i juz give him the mp3 and the thing then he practise it....
cause he normally plays Vai, Satch, Eric Johnson's stuffs...

Anyway, I believe this is not about special skill or special talent..... it is about our hardworks.. and our basics... skills.. theory

he can catch up very fast because his basisc and fingers practise oredi there... if we can be hardworking.. learn the theories, scales, do more fingers exercise.. someday sure can learn everything faster... so keep on practising ya dudes... for me, yeah i really need alot of practise.. i still sux..

if its a hard song and you can play it, means its not so hard anymore.
damn im bored

Yup, that's hard indeed, and to think that he could sing at the same time. I think I should give it a try one day too.

a change of season from dream theater.....hahaha

the song that i've been attempting to do, yet havent found the time to really practice it is eric johnson's cliffs of dover, especially the damn intro and his weird fingering positions.
seeing him play it in the austin city limits video is !@#$@#%^!#$!@#$!@.

btw, eric didnt use a strat for that studio recording, rather a gibson ES-335.
like how jimmy page used a telecaster for stairway

er........stand by me?




jk

mine would be er....something around metallica and rose's though i play them sloppy despite having the speed. i am too lazy to actaully slow down to do it right

current song to work on - ETB,
next song - jason becker's prepatual burn.

thats goind take me a loong time

This post has been edited by +3kk!: Jul 19 2006, 07:35 PM

where did u get the tabs for perpatual burn? do u have the backing track too?

yaya...i would liek to take a look on the tab.....i think all the notes are swimming along the tab...lol!

between....jason becker's perpatuan burn is the 1st video which i seen while i was heading to guitar......HISTORY.....haha....

it came with the guitar pro 4 that i knicked of the net, sadly i dont have backings for it.
dont know its accuracy, but it sounds ok to me.

i can upload it if you want

I fjooking agree with you on this one.... I can't wait for the Austin City Limits vid to arrive at my doorstep. And then that hybird picking lick in the intro &$%^#$^%#&#$^#$^....

Didn't know he used a 335 for that...
Pagey's tele is his secret weapon for cutting through the band during solos.
