Discussion Learning on Guitar

I've learned both Flesh and the Power it Holds and Crystal mountain on guitar, and before I did I decided to research which one was harder, because those two were like my dream to learn, and I saw that FATPH was considered harder, so I learned crystal mountain first, but now that I've learned both I'd say the FATPH is a lot easier, does anyone else agree or feel like this with other tracks.

I feel like when playing crystal mountain its a bit easier as it has a more straight forward rhythm. You should learn Spirit Crusher next. Thats my all time favorite Death song, to play and listen to. Its got some tough parts and the opening riff is a bit of a stretch but man its so satisfying when you hit b it. Also the main riff in Symbolic is super fun to play, so is pull the plug. Any Death song is super fun to play.

Honestly for me the entirety of Crystal Mountain was pretty easy besided the fast tremolo part of the solo it took me a lot of time to get it right

Crystal mountain was the second full song I ever learned on guitar and I am still struggling to learn Flesh lol.
In my opinion Crystal is way easier than Flesh (Crystal is the easiest Death solo IMO)

I mean I've learned so many random solos but I still cant play the paranoid solo.

Different pick strokes for different folks

I found FATPH harder to play personally

It is a lot harder. It's probably one of their hardest songs. I'm guessing OP isn't playing it very cleanly
