anyone have any ideas?

i'm looking for a new song to learn. my favorite song right now to play is blackbird. it's so much fun! i'd like something like that. by that i mean, something a little hard but not too hard, all over the fretboard, fingerpicked, fun, sounding good, recognizable....any ideas?

How about "Tears in Heaven" by Clapton or "Hotel California" by The Eagles?

i'm looking for something a bit harder than and Easy Song. I know some of them anyway.

In the Intermediate Songs, The Needle and the Damage Done was at the right technical level for me but I don't find it so fun to play. Another song i like to play is the old folk song called Freight Train.

As for a new song, if you liked Blackbird give Here Comes the Sun a try, fun fingerpicking and not to easy but not impossible with a bit of work

Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.
