Which 'simple' song that you know is difficult to play perfectly/cleanly ?

Now trying studio version of neil zaza's i'm alright.

It doesn't have a crazy tempo, very nice just around 130+ (considered slow), slower than the previous song I learnt, which I eventually played even faster, but unlike previous song, this one does not ascend/descend the strings properly.

It's full of string skipping, and it's quite a frustration if you're not used to it.

A lot of shifting wrists around too. Very hard for me to get clean and smooth/even in timing, so I am playing it really really slow, but at least I am able to memorize the notes and patterns.

I demo the first few parts to a friend who is quite a fast guitarist and could play faster than me. But the fella hardly played string skipping stuff, so this song with beat that is much slower than what he usually plays, is giving him a lot of headache, because not just string skipping, but the notes are difficult for him to memorise because it is jumping around the frets. (I still think eugene's trick bag is far worse and wins the jump around the frets award)

He had trouble as well rolling 1 finger across 3 strings and only hitting the 1rd and 3rd on the same fret.

Some of these 'easy' songs can bring even some pros to their knees.
