If you were in a cover band? "Strawberry Fields" would be real hard. Everything is dubbed and double tracked on that one I believe, and even with todays keyboard technology it would be rough.

If were talking about just a certain instrument, i'd pick "A Day In The Life" being a drummer.

I'll have to think about this one for awhile.


Not too mention the pitch change when the strings come in at 1 minute.  (Sorry to be anal)

I imagine that the solo in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" would be a hard one......and the backwards one in "I'm Only Sleeping" could be a bit weird.....not sure what the hardest base parts are...

Try singing and playing macca's bass line in the third verse of taxman. ('If you get too close I'll.....")etc.

Got there in the end. Not the easiest.

Another one would be Norwegian wood and revolution.  Norwegian wood would be a hard guitar song because lots of chords change really fast.  And revolution is just plain hard.

How about The Abbey Rd. Medley? Especially when the "And In the end" section is a semi-tone down from the rest of the track (Spliced on Edit). Thus giving guitarists a very hard time learning those final historic licks!

Love, Love, Love for all the string arrangements and lack of guitar. That's tough.
You'd need to be a bloody barber shop septet at least to recreate "Because" off Abbey Rd.

I could bore on and on about different songs with effects. Depends on how faithful you were learning the songs.

In terms of just plain buskers guitar, you'll be surprised at how hard some of the earlier ones really are! Thanks to George Martins diminished sixths and sevenths they all can be a handful to the learning guitarist.

they don't get enough credit for some of there early stuff....they made it sound easy, but some of even the earliest tunes were very elaborate pieces......they just made it look so easy......

Penny Lane would be tough. Norwegian Wood is done by every cover band that i've ever seen. Put the capo on the guitar and go. The guitar solo on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' doesnt sound hard at all, but i'm not a guitar player and I have heard the song played out before.

Within You, Without You would be tough.
