I've bin wondering all summer(for no particular reason), but what is the difficulty level in "Somewhere USA" and "High And Dry"? Somewhere USA sounds like it'd be pretty hard but I can't tell, and I really don't know what to think about High And Dry.
One more thing. What is THE HARDEST song to play on a guitar?
Somewhere USA and High And Dry are two of the easier ones to play, because there aren't a lot of chords to learn. One of the hardest to me is The Way I Feel, because it has odd chord variations, chords you don't see very often.
If you're a fingerpicker, many of his songs, like If You Could Read My Mind, Sit Down Young Stranger, Steel Rail Blues, Song For A Winter's Night, and hundreds of others, can be difficult until you've learned his style of picking. He Travis picks a lot, and these would be harder for you to learn. Believe it or not, playing rhythm guitar to Wreck, Canadian Railroad Trilogy might actually be easier for you to learn (that is, if you are thinking about learning them), because they are strummed instead of fingerpicked. Wreck may be the easiest of the two.
One of the hardest songs for me to play is Sundown. He uses what we call 'Gord Chords'. You have to lay your index finger flat across three strings while leaving the other strings open, so they'll make that ringing sound. It's actually painful when you first start doing it.
Are you thinking about learning to play guitar, or do you already play?
