Bloody RVM !!

I haven't started a thread for a while, so I thought I'd bring this up.

Anyone else find this song difficult to play ? Now, I'm no sook, but getting the main riff exactly right with perfect timing is nearly as difficult as playing MOP.
I practised it a lot last week, and was kinda getting it, but i still have a lot of polishing to do.
The sequence is not hard, just getting the picking accurate.

short answer is yes.

now imagine trying to sing while playing it.

ACtually, I think it is easier to sing to than Betterman, or Fatal. The phrases fall on the beats much more so than a lot of Ed's stuff.

HAving said that, I respect the ability to sing and play riffs (as opposed to strum chords) a lot. It's one thing I think that Hetfield is outstanding at, even thought his singing voice is not.

RVM is probably the only PJ song I struggle with, I think.

It took me SO long to get it but I've FINALLY gotten it. I gave myself a pat on the back for it!

i got into RVM really easily, it took a few mins to get the rythym but man, i couldn't sing along with it whilst playin...my notes would fall of the fretboard in a horrible crash!:)

this is not for you

i can only play guitar abit, my mate showed me this the other week, i thinks its a bitch to play, just the plucking notes at the start, so annoying when you cant get it
