For difficulty factors in playing you really should try some classical stuff. Some of Rodrigo's guitar concertos are almost off the scale in difficulty. I really do have a lot of admiration for classical players. They seem to be able to play the most difficult passages in beautiful legato. I'm currenty taking classical lessons after 20 odd years of playing blues and I feel as though I'm going back to no1 on the learning curve. It's like learning a new language.
