While they aren't explicitly for fingerpicking many or Archard's tabs are what I started with.

The first fingerpicking song I ever learned was estudio in Am by Dionisio Aguado. It's really easy to learn and it sounds better played slow. It'll at least break your fingers in a little bit.

Classical Gas by Mason Williams. It will help you a lot. Good warm up song.

I like Breezy! ^-^

beat me to it auri haha. (this song is from FFVIII btw)

for songs i learned it from, lets see...

with arms wide open by creed was the first (great for learning multi-tasking)

one thing by finger eleven was an early one too (good for maintaining tempo)

broken by seether featuring amy lee from evanescence (nice practice for shifting fingerings)

stairway to heaven by led zeppelin (the whole nineyards really

dust in the wind by kansas (EXCELLENT for your picking hand methods)

just breathe by pearl jam (also great for method as well as shifting)

plateau by the meat puppets, nirvana covered it really well imho (good for maintaining a progression and a consistent chord structure)

all those songs can be found on youtube to listen to, and all the tabs can be found at ultimate-guitar.com

also, to get a nice technique down, learn some of the simlpler ones like one thing by finger leven and with arms wide open etc... then give nothing else matters by metallica a try; excellent song, with an awesome finger-picked riff

I would check out www.classtab.org. There is a lot of good stuff here, and most of it is on an easy/moderate difficulty level.

Lol nate, it's weird to see tabulature for all those classical pieces I learned from sheet music.

PS: o.o Koyunbaba tabs, that might be useful. Scordatura is pissing me off.

PPS: WTF is Cleft of Dimension from Chrono Cross doing there >_>

Yeah, it is a really great resource for those not well-versed in sheet music. It also has some fun extra stuff at the very bottom under the "anonymous/tradition" section.

EDIT: Haha, yeah there is some video game stuff on there, Trang. In fact, when I first found the site, I preferred the version of The Nightmare's Beginning that was on classtabs to what was on gametabs.

Oh shit. Trang is droppin the revelations. He stumped me until he linked me the answer, at which point my mind was blown.

This is an excerpt from Tárrega's Gran Vals. Thoughts? :>

EDIT: I made the tab abit more detailed.

You're working on Koyunbaba, Trang? Sweet!

Yeah, I can play the first movement just fine. Last one is where it's at, though. :|

Angeles by Elliot Smith

Silent hill Promise(reprise)

Jorge cardoso milonga

Crepuscolo sul Mare

Probably best practice would be dust in the wind, that song is really good for basic picking.

Ellia maiden of the water

chrono chross another guldove

instrumental version of yesterday (beatles)

black bird (beatles) is another solid and easy finger picking song!

Bartolome Calatayud - Vals

Perfect for a beginner classical style player. Here is an auto playing type tab.

"Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" by Led Zeppelin? http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/l/led_zeppelin/babe_im_gonna_leave_you_tab.htm

It only has a few chords and they're easy enough to get down. I got used to finger-picking by playing the intro to Stairway to Heaven. http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/l/led_zeppelin/stairway_to_heaven_tab.htm

It may be wiser to follow a different route though, as I haven't gotten much professional instruction. ^_^;;
