Okay "hard" might be a bit of a stretch, especially compared to the Hard AF Riffs vid, but you can't deny these are DECEPTIVE.

@ConsistentlyInconsistent21 Ай бұрын

I can't play guitar so they are all hard for me.

@DamningTooth1 Ай бұрын

Bit of a stretch, especially The Police riff!

@no_problem8023 Ай бұрын

Especially this charming man, or Jimi Hendrix stuff like Little Wing. Anyone who says “oh that’s easy, you want real difficulty? Play dream theater bro” is a tool and most likely shitty at guitar anyway

@joemacdonald2187 Ай бұрын

Anything played by Tommy iomi would be hard...at least the way he plays it...or was it geezer butler that was missing his middle finger on fret hand n used a prosthetic finger to play

I like how you included a little * for Here Comes the Sun because I didn't think it was a technically hard song, mostly strumming with picking out notes. You're right though in that you're kind of playing both rhythm and lead at the same time.

I concur. Notice the lack of distortion, saturation, and resonance. Nowhere to hide. I suppose reverb (the Police being a good example) is a bit of a safety net but not comparable.

If you're gonna put Every Breath on there, you need to also put Message In A Bottle and also Satellite from DMB on there. And I'm pretty sure Money For Nothing has a lore more thumb going on in the bass notes. Good list though for sure.
