I tried to tackle Moonlight Sonata but the third movement was a little hard.

Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin. It took about a week to learn how to play it decent but I still can't play it perfect.

I could never really get the hang of the bit where you have to accent the 2nd semiquaver in every group of 4 so that it's slightly off-beat.
v. awkward!!

I don't know I make my own stuff. But I guess Lambic 9 Poetry by Squarepusher is a little hard due to harmonics of the bass which I enjoy playing on occasions. Guitar I don't know.

Comfortably numb, though I never play the second solo exactly the same way twice, but neither does Gilmour. There's a lot of on-off that's easy to miss.

All in all a few months to learn. Just started slow then ramped up the speed as my fingers got the feel.

Yeah, that is flipping insane. Amazingly cool piece though, and most people aren't aware of the third movement. 3rd Movement The Hardest thing I've had to play in the band world was the 3rd Movement of Year of the Dragon Solo wise it was the Euphonium Concerto by Philip Sparke, the second movement is the prettiest melody I've ever heard, but I can't find a good clip of it on youtube.

various classical songs on guitar and a decent amount of protest the hero stuff. I'm more of a rhythm player/singer so I haven't worked on too much technical stuff recently.
