      intro to "my curse" from killswitch engaged. The chords themselves are easy but transitioning between them cleanly and the picking pattern is difficult, i have seen videos of Adam sort of botching it live.

    I’m sure someone else has mentioned this, but Andy plays “Every Breath You Take” in a very easy way. You just don’t barre and hold down all the notes in the chords...simply fret the low notes on the 6th string with your index finger, then move the index fingertip from the 6th string to the 3rd string to complete the arpeggio and then back down to the 6th string to start the cycle again. It has puzzled players for years, but Andy revealed this simple trick long ago...the same trick applies to “Message In A Bottle”...

      Came here to say that. Andy moves the index finger for the arpeggios. But the Fm9 still kills my hands because it's still a 4 fret stretch at the long end of the board and all of them are still hard to play cleanly. So to say he plays it in a " very easy way"... Not really.

      here's the thing though...YES..we see him move his fingers around in the vids and live performances... and there is no doubt that he plays it that way to save hand strength...BUT...... when you listen to the original recording, you can clearly hear that the lower notes have RING on them indicating that they are being held throughout the chord. i suspect he recorded it with the full chords and made the decision AFTERWARDS to try to economize the way he would play it for live performance. so both ways are COMPLETELY in play here...

      It sounds super easy cause it’s in the key of Am which is good for beginner guitarists and it sounds like just arpeggiated power chords with added 7s on top of the chord
      Guess it’s not in Am. I was wrong. But it is a pretty simple four chord progression

      Westin Mcclister No. When I heard it for the first time, I thought it was going to be tricky too. And oh it was! I STILL have a hard time with it. I think part of what makes it a challenge is, in addition to alternate picking it, which is how John Frusciante played it, it's the hammer-ons and pull-offs. I tend to think of it as quarter note triplets superimposed over 16ths. Challenging still is how to get the right feel and keep it from sounding like straight arpeggios.

Gave up guitar completely in my mid twenties and never really touch one again for a quarter of a century but two weeks ago I suddenly had a notion for playing again so I bought a cheep little Tanglewood acoustic, my fingers are in a hell of a state lol. It's amazing what pops into your head again after all these years but I tried that chord again and was no where near it lol.

    Although I'm a bassist, not a guitar player, I would say the song that drove me insane was Get Lucky by Daft Punk. I agreed to perform it with one of my friend's bands for a show they were doing. I'd only been playing bass for less than a year, but I thought it was an easy riff and that I could learn it in a few days. Oh boy was a wrong. Part of the difficulty was the fact that I also was supposed to sing it because the singer of the band said that he just couldn't hit the high notes, but it was so difficult to focus on playing this bassline I barely knew and singing the song. The funny thing was, the show was cancelled last minute due to bad weather conditions, so after hours of me stressing out and trying to learn the part, I didn't even get to play it.

      I mean, yeah. If you already have good alternate picking it doesn’t sound very difficult because what’s hard about it is the chords which you don’t really recognize just hearing it.

    Every breathe you take - If you watch the original video, through the main riff, you can see Andy summers move his main finger between two positions as he plays, INSTEAD of barring the chord. Really interesting, check it out.

    There is a misconception that Andy Summers plays this with a rigid left hand, he doesn't. He moves his index finger to reach the first & last notes making the riff 1% easier than a rigid hand.
