most challenging for me (or at least the one that i gave up on the most) is 'long, hot, summer nights' by jimi hendrix. it's not that fast, but those old school R&B licks just never jived with me.

Yep, at the time I learnt it though I didn't know what C# was.. so it was like

what's this strange new chord. Easy now though.. but at the time I remember it being a tricky one

Anything by Meshuggah will be near impossible on guitar.

Girl from Ipanema by Stan Getz, I don't care if it's not Metal I can't get my pissin' thumb to play the bass notes seperate to the main melody. I'm a guitarist not a pianist damn it!

Now I'm inspired to learn that song...I'll get back to you.

The bass note thing always sounds really impressive if you pull it off right.
