its always kinda tough to play "electric" stuff on acoustic. pick up some jimi hendrix and play around /w that. little wing is highly recognizable and also hard to make sound desent on acoustic. a good challenge.

well, my brother's crap is hard to play for me, and vice versa. there you go, the toughest cover.

umm someone that you guys ahve heard of.. Try a Little Harder is a pain when your starting off, but hella fun once you get it.

I dont think theres any such thing as a "toughest cover" but there are songs that are "toughest to cover well" and Id say Neon by Mayer would be one

Mayer can't even say he's perfected that on acoustic. He wrote it on a Norvax (sp?) guitar that has fanned frets to make it easier to fret. Mayer I find to be real tough. He uses his thumb a lot to fret and I have small thumbs.
