It depends on your skill level.  We do this song in my band and my guitar player pretty much nails it, but he's been playing for over 30 years and we gig a few times a month.\n\nFor me, I never aspire to things that are too far out of reach (it only ends up discouraging me).  I find it more useful to set my sites a little beyond my current level of ability, master it and then reset my sites.

The real answer is that there isn't one. Ed Ved changes the lyrics everytime he sings that song. I have a good majority of their live stuff and everytime it's different. I think this song is supposed to be more about the beautiful guitar melody.

I don't think it's the fastest but that song is great.  \nI think some of Slayer's riffs are faster.

I agree with am1benz answer. I would add, however, that when I first started playing bass for a rock band (I used to be a classical guitarist) I found it to be much easier than guitar, but as I started playing more complicated music (Latin, jazz, fusion) I found it required even more work to play well than the guitar, because the strings are heavier, and required greater dexterity in my fingers in order to play fast and with a consistent tone and attack.

Stevie Ray Vaugh--kinda tough-but good guitar playing wins out

Led Zeppelin is one of my favourites, but sorry dude I can not help here.

If you play any of it , you have my respect. Chopin's stuff was pretty demanding from what i hear. I heard a chopin piece once played by a guy named Tony MaCalpine, who is better known as one of those "Neo-Classical" inflence shred guitar players, though he is also an amazing pianist / keyboardist who had a formal classical background.

I am a complete klutz who can't hold a pencil without dropping it and I learned to play lead guitar in a surf rock band okay (NOT good, mind you, but ok) in 6 months.  I put in a LOT of hours but we're talking fast picking lead, not rhythm guitar.  I learned both on acoustic and electric.\n\nSo, I can quite honestly say if I can do it anyone can do it.  The hardest thing with an acoustic guitar (more than an electric) is buidlign your callouses.  You'll have to build up some major callouses and get so your left hand and right hand will work independently.  That isn't as hard as it sounds.\n\nThe truth is in this saying by the man Beethoven chose to teach his nephew:  "Practice is the great magician who not only makes apparent impossiblities performable, but ever easy."  Carl Czerny\n\nHINT:  Don't play too long the first couple of weeks or your fingers will get too sore from depressing the strings, even on a high end guitar.  If you put your hands in warm water and think your fingertips are on fire, you're practicing too long at one stretch.  Build up time slowly.\n\nHINT TWO:  Get really good strings.  They will make your life a lot easier and sound better, too.\n\nHINT THREE: Don't be discouraged by what seems like failure.  One day you'll suddenly make a giant leap and be doing something you thought you'd never get.  Then you'll level off and think you aren't getting anywhere.  Pretty soon you'll take another leap.\n\nHINT FOUR:  When you aren't playing, do "beats" with your hands against your legs, the arm of the chair, etc.  It helps you learn to keep time.  (This I thought I'd NEVER be able to learn.  Everyone always said I had to sense of rhythm at all.  Imagine how proud I was when I took up drums and everyone sat and stared at me because I actually had a really steady beat from months of slapping furniture and my body to anything playing on the radio!  YAY!)\n\nGood luck!

Guitar-wise the song is in A (I think...dont have my guitar with me at the moment.) Don't know if that helps you or not.

The song is Crazy by Gnarls Barkley.  It was the first song to get to #1 on downloads sales alone before it's CD release

any guitarist with his/her head on is going to say, break the pieces up, then slow it down to get the technique down, a very important thing to do is be patient

Willie Nelson sang the original tune, but Stone Temple Pilots remade the song to a more, well, modern tune that I think is better.  It is your choice.  Enjoy!

NOBODY rocks harder than Ronnie James Dio!!! At least, nobody rocks harder while singing about rainbows, unicorns, wildebeasts, and daemons! Haven't you ever heard Holy Diver? Rainbow in the Dark? All the Fools Sailed Away? I Could've Been A Dreamer?\n\nDIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nBesides, Dio also invented the extended index and pinky finger "metal" hand sign!!
