I saw a video claiming that Zappa's Black page was the hardest guitar part to nail live. Didn't seem that bad to me, it's rather angular and abstract. Needless to say I couldn't play it!
I used to think that John Petrucci's fast bit on Erotomania was pretty hard, but it seems like a lot of players can play fast these days.
Back when the John Petrucci forum was up and running, there were a lot of very good guitarists posting there, and the general consensus of opinion was that the arpeggio's bit (approx 2.20 minutes in) of Dream Theater's Glass Prison was insanely hard to nail.
What do you think is a hard piece to play - either for yourself or just generally?

Because I've heard any number of really good guitarists - at least a couple of who I know don't rate the Edge as a 'proper' player - try to play U2 songs... and not one of them has ever got it right, ever.

One a different note, also Charlie Hunter, cos who's going to have a mad hybrid instrument and do what he does.
