Calvin Lee dude when i saw Metallica & RHCP I no longer took this list seriously lol. Even eruption is somewhat easy to play being mostly pentatonic there's harder VH songs like Spanish Fly. No Yngwie, Synyster Gates, or Nuno, but Kirk Hammett, the laughing stock of the guitar world, makes the list . Fancy techniques do not beat pure dexterity on the fretboard. I know people who may be "more technical" but can't play solos as basic as Crazy Train. I hear the same applies to Tosin Abasi, my buddy saw him live and said he sucks, all he can do is do that tapping crap.

Agree! & 'Eruption' as the #1 pick? Sure it may be a challenge to some, but as it is pretty much a pure guitar solo solo(w/o other band elements), any decent rascal that has worked it out at least once can fake it well enough for the local drunks at the tavern down the strip. Basically, given as easy as the riff is to learn well enough for casual performance and it be the #1 pick indicates the whole list is but a joke despite a few mention ones being worthy such as 'Sultans of Swing', but there are plenty of rock songs that have more demanding guitar duties that can easily prove to be very tricky to pull off, especially live than most on this list. It would appear that a non musician and a novice guitarist put this list together as if it sounds difficult, then it must be so. There are plenty of tricky rascals even within the more popular realm of rock music that can mess any good musician up even if it is just the nature of the rhythmic nuances and patterns, etc.

Dream theater and animals as leaders are very difficult to play, but even though I love a lot of the other songs, they just aren't very hard. Like, little wing is a great song; one of the most beautiful electric guitar songs ever. but it's just not difficult. I played it note-for-note at a school talent show in 7th grade, and I'm not a great guitarist; I consider myself pretty average now, and I wasn't very good at all way back then. (Although there are a lot of songs/guitarists out there who make me feel *WAY* below average as a player; this list just doesn't have many of those songs. Two, maybe three at the most.) To sum it up, *long paragraph says list is bad.* I probably should've just went with that. "List is bad" is a lot more to the point than my little rant. Oh god, I'm still doing it. Just talking about nothing, over and over. And you're still reading it! I'm not sure which is worse. Although, I bet you're very attractive, with just the *loveliest* genitals, whatever those genitals happen to be, If I had to guess, I'd say penis; never bet on red. (Queue rim-shot) Why am I still typing? None of this is anything; just empty nonsense. That first paragraph is all true though. So, ya know... That's something I guess... i am a deeply unhappy person.

Actually speak to any guitarists when making this video? 1. Most of the Eruption clip wasn't Eruption, mainly a live solo section from 1986. 2. Eruption, whilst probably one of the most impactful and influential guitar tracks, is not the hardest by far. 3. Johnny Marr and John Frusciante really? 4. No Malmsteen. To which many people still cannot play accurately or with the same feeling. 5. Perpetual Burn - Jason Becker. Largely heralded by most players as the hardest. The speed, technical ability, feeling and general stamina required to play this is close to impossible. Some have tried, but have never captured the feeling of his playing. Lastly, you guys should not confuse the hardest songs to play with the most influential. Big difference. Hendrix and Van Halen are extremely influential, inspiring legions of guitarists, but consequently have inspired a lot harder pieces to play. And also this is not all about speed, but also feeling and touch. David Gilmore and Gary Moore anyone?

The difficulty in Cliffs of Dover isnt the intro or the fast segments. Those are difficult, but not the depth of the difficulty of the song. The true difficulty is in achieving Johnson's clean sound he got while performing those difficult segments. Its not just his fretwork, its his precision. And Cliffs of Dover illustrated that even in fast segments, you could hear every note clearly

John Walsh agreed. Pronunciations are wrong, thinking switching from 4/4 to 2/4 is difficult....they googled "hard guitar songs" and came up with this garbage. Respect to the bands, many of these songs are impressive and writing them would be ridiculous, but there are actual reasons songs are difficult and they aren't listed here

Sodium Tetraborate... You're right. In fact it should more properly be called a 'vibrato' bar because it alters the pitch. Tremolo is a whole other effect and is usually on the amp or done with a pedal.

@gingercore697 жыл бұрын
Tobias Asp it shows how different guitar players have different perspectives on what makes a song hard, for example, for me its harder to play snow than master of puppets, its harder cliff of dover than eruption, etc... Other than that, "rock songs? Lets put power metalz thrash metal, progressive metal, etc, cos metal and rock are the same, right?" I think the video cheated on that... Lots of the songs are not even rock, and most of them can be played by billions of guitar players... I know more guitar players that know how to play master of puppets, cliff of dover, eruption and snow than guitar players that dont, and i know in person about 10 guitar players that can play all this songs, from wich only about 3 are in a band...
