Judas Priest - Reckless.… for the guitar solo that starts at 2:35.
(For drums: Rush - Tom Sawyer.)
I’d love to pay any of the instruments here, but especially the organ or the drums
Classical Gas
I would love to bang out the piano part in Rolling in the Deep by Adele. I don’t think it’s particularly complex but it would be fun to just play it loudly.
Guitar and/or drums.
Distant Sky by Rhapsody. I just want to be able to do the guitar part near the beginning.
I just began learning to play the cello ten months ago, on my 70th birthday. There’s no way in hell I’ll ever be able to play Saint-Saëns’ Cello Concerto #1. Perhaps in another lifetime or three, if ever.
And when you can - shoot by a video - that was some insane technical wizardry going on, there.
This drummer wishes he could do the whole Internecine album in one take, and especially the second number in particular, “Ceremonies Of Deceit (Effulgence Rituals)”, starting at 3:53…
Oh hell, what DON’T I wish I could play.
“Whammer Jammer” by J. Geils (harp, of course)
I pick at “More Than a Feeling” sometimes, but that’s as a novice exercise, nothing recognizable. One day I’ll get it. I’d like to learn, “Rebel Rebel” by David Bowie (guitar.) Seems like it would be a blast.
See, there are dozens I could list right now, but we’re picking one. One massively cool song that would blow my mind if I could rip off a kick-ass redition. I’m tempted to go Gilmour. “Comfortably Numb.” But if it’s gonna be ONE song that I can learn and tear up, I’ll go with something fun and rowdy. I’ll take the lead guitar on, “My Sharona”. That 2-minute solo is just too much fun.
I wish I could play boogie woogie piano like Pete Johnson. Here’s Roll 'em Pete with Big Joe Turner, the amazing blues shouter, on vocal: - YouTube
My god it would be fun to groove that hard.
…by the way Face, the Rebel Rebel riff is fun to play. It circles back on itself so nicely, and has such a good combo of chords and lick fills that you can find yourself cycling through it endlessly - in a good way.
Sharona is fun to play in a band but not something I groove on alone. I faked the solo - Averre was a great player and I couldn’t be arsed to work through the note for note.
From a guitar player’s standpoint Rebel Rebel is more fun to play.
Any typical Jerry Lee Lewis piano rocker. Including the stand-up-and-kick-the-stool-away part.
mmm
Dueling Banjos
David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane (1913-1938-197?) On piano, especially the avant gard, jazzy solo. Mike Garson, Bowie’s long time pianist, recently said that Bowie’s son Duncan, would get nightmares from hearing that piano solo. It has a crazy, ominous sound to it that could definitely be scary to a kid.
But oh to be able to play piano like that!
YYZ - Rush
The drum part.
I have an E9 pedal steel that I’m still pretty below average on. For example, I can play “When the Levee Breaks” or “Crimson and Clover” on it, but nothing hard.
I’d like to be good enough to play like Bobby Black on his worst day, but as long as we’re wishing, let’s pick Commander Cody’s version of Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette). Sheer gorgeousness, wayyyyyyy past my ability.

[/QUOTE]You misspelled “unlistenable.”
Only one answer here - the guitar duel (both parts played by Steve Vai) from the movie Crossoads.
