Hi Joel!Is it your favourite song?:) I saw the movie on Youtube....wow the song is long and difficult,isn't it?!!:O Playing that song beautifully must be so cool!:)...and "Difficult" is not only about the guitar technique but also about lyrics!:O I can understand superficial lyrics as a literal translation,but it seems to contain the grave meanings...
I browesed a website explaining the background etc of the song and I found it really difficult and complicated!!!!!!

Do you sing the song while playing the guitar?:D

Hey, thanks for your comment~.
Well, even for a native speaker of English I'm not sure I understand the lyrics 100%, they're really cryptic on purpose! Haha.
It's a really nice song and getting the strumming technique in the chorus is quite hard, but I'll manage! :D

Well, I do sing when I play to help me keep rhythm, but I'm a terrible singer, lol!
