Hardest to play?

the chorus for little thing is the basically the same as the intro to cigarette lit, just a different key.. interesting - just some random information

Captain was the hardest for me at first. I haven't tried stand up though, cause I've only heard it like twice.

The timing for Fool To Think is so hard, especially if you try to sing.

The Stone. Its so hard because you have to be dead on accurate and quick throughout the whole thing.

This was a hard dicision to make but since i've mastered all of those songs i'd have to say captain was the hardest for me. I can totally play those forty-one chords but for the amount of time you have to make the stretch i'm going with "the captain."
The stone is def. second due to the accuracy needed with both hands.

There's a few parts to Get In Line which are pretty tricky.

do you have a good recording where the guitar is distinct, or a vid of anyone playing it, cause all of the performances I have of it it is too hard to make out the guitar.

I'd say The Stone because it's so easy to muff the song up with one little slip.
