    Any instrument, any genre.

    For starters:
    The guitar element of Let there be Rock: AC/DC

    For guitar, the second movement of Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez.

    It'll have to be a long-term project!

    Does not compute

    I can play ALL our songs properly. Most of the time. 😯

    Not sure if blutac would agree with me 😉

    The Townes Van Zandt version of "Dead Flowers" (as heard at the end credits of Big Lebowski).

    not particularly difficult I'm sure but would make a great campfire tune!

    Wish you were here: Floyd on acoustic guitar.

    Not even a huge floyd fan, but this tune is one I would just love to be able to play.

    Andy McKee – All Laid Back and Stuff

    I can do some of it but I'm not the best fingerpicker and can't get the right feel.

    Piano – Rachmaninov's third piano concerto, or Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin.

    Actually I'm like Eric Morcombe, I have played all the right notes, not necessarily in the right order!

    Little wing. Hendrix.

    Can do my own version but to play it his way would be nice….

    The Autumn bit of Vivaldi's Four Seasons as Nigel Kennedy plays it.

    Never played a Violin, but how something with no electrical gimmickery can sound so good is amazing.

    I'd like to be able to play the saxophone solo from George Michaels "Careless Whisper"

    My life would be complete :mrgreen:

    On the ukulele, the only song I can play properly is the Tetris tune.

    On the piano, the one song has to be Debussy's "La fille aux cheveux de lin". In terms of where the notes are, it's dead easy, but it has taken me probably 15 years to get to the point where I'm able to play it okay.

    Although from a purely technical viewpoint, it would be pretty nifty to be able to play Weber's "Il Moto Continuo" on the piano at something faster than about half speed, although I reckon I'd need to spend an hour a day strengthening my fingers to get it up to speed, so that is a long term project (maybe when I retire!).
