I must say the hardest song for me to learn (note for note) on guitar was either The Flight of the Bumblebee by Korsakoff, Far Beyond the Sun by Yngwie Malmsteen, Under a Glass Moon by Dream Theater, or Scarified by Paul Gilbert.
It sounds like you've just started playing guitar recently so those you're working on are some pretty good songs to start with. May I suggest, just for your listening pleasure if you're insterested, to listen to Paul Gilbert, Dream Theater, Yngwie Malmsteen, Buckethead, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Django Reinhardt? It's a little bit different from the normal rock and roll people are used to, but most musicians who really get into guitar tend to get into them.
You've probably heard this like a million times already, but make sure you practice scales! Especially with a metronome, because I can't tell you how many times I've heard guitarists play decently on their own, but they can't play along with drums or a straight beat.
But nonetheless, good luck and maybe we can jam someday :P

In the rock world the hardest things to play are ussually songs by bands like Rush or Yes. The only other things quite hard to learn are in the Classical and Jazz genres. The songs you are working are quite basic, but that does not mean they aren't good songs. Some of the best songs in rock are simple.

Yeah pretty much any song I try and play...I am such a slow learner. So far I have learned Blvd. of Broken Dreams (accoustic)-Green Day, Helena-My Chemical Romance, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun-Pink Floyd, and right now I am working on Thank you for the Venom and Romance by My Chemical Romance...Thank you for the Venom has definetly been the hardest...it's got some insanely fast riffs in it.

Good choice in songs its so good to hear instead of people talking about 50cent and the rest of that s...t
To start so that you keep the enthusasim up i suggest that you try rocking in the free world by neil young Verse Em D C Chorus G D C only 4 chords and it rocks it will get your fingers moving
Tablature websites try olga.com archive if it is online it has millions of tab or fretplay.com
But most of the good guitarists learn classical its a pain in the @ss but it will make you play exceptionally well
My most favorite is the rain song led zeplin

I've been working on Speed Metal Symphony by Cacophony for about 7 months. I figure I have another year before I work it all out. I've been playing for about a decade but just recently in the last year got into Neo-Classical shred.

I listen to everything and don't be to quick to shot it down but as far as a hard song
St. Patricks Day by John Mayer
Used to hate him now love his music and respect him as a guitar player the finger movement is insane

so i think you want recommendations for songs to play..
worldwide suicide - pearl jam
whole lotta love - led zeppelin
plug in baby - muse
desecration smile and can't stop - red hot chilli peppers
those are just a few easy to intermediate songs... jsut ask if you want some more
the hardest song for me to learn was probably remebering the whole solo to freebird by skynyrd
