It makes me feel good to know that you are an advanced player and didn't learn Hard to Handle in one sitting :-).

The difficulty level of songs labeled here is hard. There are 4 guitar songs that I've learned with no trouble, and there are 3 guitar songs (Hard to Handle is an example) that take me longer.

A lot of it depends on your experience. The opening phrase of the first hard to handle solo gave me fits and felt like my fingers were tripping all over eachother. Now it's second nature...so a similar solo in the future will be a lot easier.

The is in the "Ask Mike Olekshy" section of the forum. A general discussion like this might be better put in the "full access forum".
