    Steve Vai's solo from Crossroads (Paganini?) sure is challenging.

    How about Eric Clapton making his guitar talk? Yes, literally talk.

    Vivaldi's Four Seasons, first movement of Winter.

    Most of the third movement of Summer is ok, but I really struggle with Winter.

    In terms of chord based songs, complex acoustic pieces kill me. Once a metal guitarist, always a metal guitarist.

    Jimi Hendrix is the only person who can play voodoo child properly (really just a myth, but blaspheme to say otherwise ;) )

    The huge chunk in the middle of Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner" where he uses distortion and feedback to make it sound like a bomb was falling, and people were crying.

    Hard one, try the little slap solo at the end of “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon, it is bass guitar and very hard to play indeed. Guitar I would say “Walking on Hot Coals” by Rory Gallagher.

    John Butler Trio. John Butler solos outrageously in the middle of his already damn hard to play songs. He really is a talented player.

    I agree that complex acoustic can break you. Atleast for me, that's much more difficult than fast metalsolos etc.
