Ever wanted to play “Misirlou” but found yourself completely incapable of figuring out those tricky chords? Well, you stand a better chance these days - that is, if you have a Playstation or Xbox.

“Misirlou” is one of the hardest songs to be found on Guitar Hero II, the second installation in the popular guitar playing series. The game, if you’re not familiar with it, has players strumming along on a plastic guitar to on-screen notes that they must match. Sound easy enough? It’s not, as the speed picks up very, very quickly.

“Misirlou” is especially bad. The game likes to pick up the tempo very quickly and hit you with dozens of notes before you’re even prepared to play one. It can prove very frustrating - but, once mastered, very, very impressive.

Mastery takes a long time, though. Check out the video below to see just how hard “Misirlou” is on the highest difficulty level.
