What do you feel is your "i will never get it" song or piece of music?

I am just a plucker which in my definition equals a hacker at golf. So I want to know from just guy who owns guitar to people who actually get paid $$$$ to play a guitar, what is your "frick that guy" song?

For me it still is pretty much all of them. I type this as I listen to The Rain Song by Led Zepplin. Which I am such a simpleton I knew the tuning couldn't be standard but had no idea it was basically every string.

What's your song?

During his introduction for Led Zep's induction into the RRHOF, Joe Perry turned to Page and said "so Jimmy, when are you going to teach me how to play The Rain Song"

I'm lazy and really never bothered to learn any chords beside the few major ones. I mostly just play power chords. So anytime there's a song that uses some kind of variation/minor chording, it creates problems for me.


Most recently, I sat down to attempt some Empire of the Sun songs and eventually just said frick it.

The verses to Mr Brightside
Any song that I have to stretch my fingers across 5 frets, specifically Message in a Bottle and Every Breath You Take

I struggle with legatos' and really envy guitarists who can play them fluently with perfect phrasing.

I don't think I could ever shred like a metal player, not do I care to. I believe with enough practice, I could learn or play anything on the guitar.

I believe that's what my first guitar teacher told me way back when.

little wing. The way he makes it sound like multiple guitars at once through muting of certain strings while he strums the whole guitar is absolutely amazing and it takes fricking forever to get right.

I had to say frick it when trying to learn this song about a year ago because Hendrix used his thumb on the 6th string a lot and my hands aren't big enough to do that and manipulate my other digits simultaneously.

I'm pretty close to chalking up This Charming Man by The Smiths as a "frick it" song.

Little Wing through good headphones is one of the real pleasures in life.

Was trying to learn this two-hand tapping thing Tobin Abasi does in CAFO but gave up after half an hour.

I can get through a good portion of Voodoo Child, but once the solos hit, I'm SOL

Really? I'll have to listen to it tonight. Is it something he does with pedals and effects or just that hard?
