    La Villa Strangiato was Rush's stated attempt to compose the most complicated thing they could and still play it live. This during a time when their music was at it's most complicated too. They probably could have come up with even harder stuff; but were committed to being able to play anything they recorded live.

    Sultans of Swing is difficult to note for note but it's easy to wing it. The way Mark lays out his lines and varies his approach every time he runs through each section of the song really lends to just going dealers choice the whole song through.

    Agreed. I play bass so I can only speak for it, but La Villa is a bit harder because its about twice as long and it changes a lot. YYZ is really hard to get down but once you do it has a lot of the same riffs. There are a lot of deceptively hard sections in La Villa for bass though, not to mention the bass solo. One of the key things with it is being able to not get lost in the tempo.

    In my mind Bleed definitely belongs on the list not just because of its impact, but also it bloody (pun intended) difficult to play. While in 4/4 the rhythm of the guitar bounces and the accents don't align making it very difficult to find the 1. Unlike other Meshuggah songs Bleed has a high tempo, which makes keeping time even harder. Also considering the song is 7 minutes long, the riff not aligning with the 4/4 makes very difficult to remember where you are in the song, that means you have to focus the whole time on two things 1) not falling into 4/4 and 2) where exactly you are in the song. Again considering the song is 7 minutes is very fast, does not have much breaks for the guitar it is physically straining for you picking hand while also keeping you on the edge mentally the whole time. I might be relatively easy to the initial riff one time, playing the whole song correctly is truly tough and next to impossible if you don't have a superb Drummer

It along with other songs on Hemispheres made them not want to make quite as difficult songs anymore since they were really difficult to play live and in general.

    Mr. Govan s definitely great, but not really "the". He isn't underappreciated, it's just that his music is pretty niche like modal jazz, with improvisations and shredding-for-no-reason thingy taking priority over cohesive melody. Those don't spell "wide recognition", however good the musician is. Speaking of "underrated". Have you heard of the dude Plini?

    @@artyomloukashov636 Plini is more widely known than Govan, there's no doubt about it. What i think people mean by saying that he's underrated is that he doesn't like to post online and only offers his talent live or through OSTs. It is unfortunate, but that's just the way he likes to share his music. As for his "lack of cohesive melodies", you just haven't listened to enough of his stuff if you think there are no cohesive melodies in his music. The Outsider is the best example of this imo. It just so happens that he doesn't play the same song in the same way evertime he plays. Improvisation is his strong suit and naturally many times it may not please every ear. "Wide recognition" doesn't always equate to good guitarist, and at the end of the day we all have our preferences and idols and styles of music that we particularly like.

    Hey Tyler, Been a fan for a good while now and I tried your Guitar Super System. As someone who started a year ago I have to say that the app is difficult to follow. It’s broken into parts but I feel like it’s missing the very bare essentials and if they are there then they’re not easy to find. There are good things, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like the app is more for the average guitar player as opposed to a beginner.

    Hey man. I really enjoyed this video. I was genuinely surprised that you'd never heard La Villa Strangiato, actually. If I may, I suggest you find yourself a copy of Rush's "Exit Stage Left" album and listen to the LVS from that performance. Close your eyes, and just let it happen. Don't even think about if it's the "hardest to play or not." Just let it sink in.
