Simple Finger Picking Songs

@DeadInternal  - Jan. 29, 2012, 8:28 p.m.

Could someone link me to some easy to learn finger picking songs? I'm absolutely terrible at finger picking and would like to learn.

wayfaerer, I actually like dust in the wind for another reason. On the B string, you start each "set" with a different note, as such the B line goes

1-0-3-1

0-3-1-0

3-1-0-3

1-0-3-1

When I found out that's how it actually went, it got much more interesting. I think I used to just repeat the first line's pattern four times. It showed me how a subtle change can completely alter the sense of "flow" or emotion in a line.

And on a side note, while this riff would not be for a beginner, the first riff where I really sat down and said, "screw it, I'm going to get this" was the opening riff from Least Complicated by the Indigo Girls:

  E   E   E   S S S S S S S S E    E   S S S S S S S S S S S S S S
E ----------------------0---------|--------------------------------|
B --------2-------2h3-------3-----|----------0-----0h2---0-------0-|
G --------------2-----------------|------2-------2-----------2-----|
D ----2-------2-------2-------2---|----2-------2-------2-------2---|
A 0-------0-------0-------0-------|0-------0-------0-------0-------|
E --------------------------------|--------------------------------|

(tabbed by Adam Schneider, found at guitaretab, but I altered the notation style quite a bit. The thing just repeats)

Try something like this

And if you can't, I recommend stuff like FF8 - Breezy, Golden Sun - Kalima Forest, Windmill Hut etc. or spam the random button for 1 hour and you will find many fun tabs to play!

But tbh, you should try the harder stuff at a low pace. This way you make progress much faster and it's awesome if you suddenly can play nearly all the tabs!

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.

I don't know why, but I never actually cared much for classical gas. :/ ducks
