Well, as the name says, post the most difficult song you can play. Upload a video of you playing it to youtube and post it on here if you want. Any instrument is acceptable. Songs you've made up are also acceptable.

My camera is shit otherwise I would put one up, but the most difficult full song that I can play is probably Parabola by Tool.

    On the bass. Sinister Minister by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. I probably cant play it so well now, but I performed the whole song including the solo for drumline competitions in highschool.

    On guitar, Im currently learning blackwater park by opeth.

    Maybe one day Ill make a few videos of me playing some songs, cuz I know most people wont believe me.:o

    Well i doubt anyone would lie about this kinda stuff. If you cant play anything you just dont post. There fore if you post what you can it would take a complete faggot to not believe you.

    Yeah same here. Except on guitar. I would but my camera always makes a weird clicking sound when its recording and that gets on the video as well. So I can't until I get a new camera

    You don't say what instrument you play Parabola on :)

    For me it's probably Ticks and Leeches (Tool) on the drums. Working on learning Coheed and Cambria - Guns of Summer now, easily the most complicated song I've ever tried to learn.

    I play it on guitar. It sounds like it would be extremely difficult on the drums though. Danny Carey is easily on my top 5 list of favorite drummers. This right here is partially why:

    Ticks and Leeches is also pretty epic. I started learning that on guitar as well

    Nice video, Danny Carey is the reason I still play the drums, so fun playing his parts.

    Edit: And Parabola is one of the easier Tool songs on drums, hardest part is like in the intro/chorus part where he does the beat with 3 quick bass drum beats. One of the easier songs by tool standards though is still harder than most other bands.

    I can imagine. Tool is, simply put, amazing. All the guitar parts are awesome as well. Adam Jones is great.

    Mmm, still working on the bass solo from Day of the Baphomets by The Mars Volta... If I ever get it I'll be sure to post it here.

    YYZ by rush, or tons of metal songs with blastbeats.

    I used to be able to play the Black Page on drums. Fuck, that song's timing is more complex than anything most of you probably have ever seen (unless you're all classical whores, then you will have seen probably more intense).

    On guitar, I'm getting close to finishing This Godless Endeavor. Fucking final sweeps are a bitch though. 200 bpm 16th note arpeggios suck.

    I can play anything now. Feel free to test me, it'll take me a few weeks to get a complicated piece down and I don't play metal but other than that I pretty much got the game under control on guitar.

    I'm down for makin' some vids, I've been feeling learning a bit of Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughn lately.
