Re: What songs are known as "hard songs"?

If you mean hard to play the Police's 'Every Breath You Take' features a near impossible stretch by Stewart Copeland the way it's played on the record. I also think the big wild break in Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was meant to be impossible to play live, Brian May may have achieved this by foot triggering a pre-recorded loop he played over. Then there are songs with tricky rhythmns like Ian Dury and the Blockheads 'Reasons To Be Cheerful'. On the otherhand maybe you mean tricky tunings and chord shapes, have a look at Paul Brady on You Tube and or even purchase his tutorial CD. On the same track Nick Drake's tunings and picking patterns are just way off the beaten path; Chordie doesn't have many of them but if you google up Nick Drake's fan site you'll find some very intense tabs.

I think it's some of the most beautiful music around...

make sure your square on your right hand technique, these can start to hurt if you go at them for too long..
