Good songs to learn for an advanced beginner? (Guitar)

I've started playing guitar several hours a day and right now I'm practising something like 10 songs simultaneously (Opeth's deliverance, masters apprenticies, windowpane and Iron Maiden's aces high for example) and I've been thinking, what then? Most of the music I listen is really really hard to play so I'm running out of material.
Please help. Recommend something. Songs, bands, theme songs, coffee jingles, anything. As long as it's got some balls and is not impossible anything goes.
Thanks.

Speaking of coffee jingles...try 'Duncan Hills Coffee' By Dethklok if you havn't already. It's a nice short piece of metal with an amazing verse riff. Trying to do it myself at the moment actually.

Ok I'll try. Anything from dethklok seems way too difficult though, for example It'd take years for me to nail those sweeps in Duncan Hills.

Deadhead is pretty easy, minus one hell-of-a-stretch in the breakdown-thing.
And Storm is mostly easy.

He never said learn the sweeps. Learn the other riffs in the song. Trying something hard will make you better much quicker
I am so glad I already know how to play guitar

Actually yeah I didn't mean the sweeps. Hehe sorry bout that. I can't play any lead guitar whatsoever myself but I'm a beast with riffs. The Duncan Hills riff is great for developing technique.
Yeah Deadhead is also a great riff. Helped me loads with my stretches....

I have a huge problem with my hands breaking every other day. My left wrist has been useless over a week now.

Try pretty much any Mastodon song. I'd recommend learning Crystal Skull all the way through, it's got a couple of pretty tricky bits thrown in there if you're still on the steep side of the learning curve.

Hey man,
I'd recommend anything slow to be honest. Go for slow and heavy. You can learn a lot more about technique that way. For a beginner that wants a bit more of a challenge, get in some Zakk Wylde riffs from Ozzy cds if you like heavy. He's a good guitar player to pick up qualities from for the beginner to the pro.
