For me it was Greensleeves/What Child is this. I play it hybrid pick style. I play the bass notes with my pick held between the thumb and forefinger and play the rest of the notes with my other fingers. It works for me
"This song starts off kinda slow then fizzles out altogether" Neil Young
Going to California. Good intro to open G as well
"Contrary to popular belief, Clapton is NOT God. The prospect that he is God probably had a large hand in driving him to drugs and booze. Thanks everyone."
-Guitar World :lol:
first song was house of the rising song, but i kinda forgot how to play it already...
then it was hurt, silent night, and scarbrough fair, and fields of gold all cuz of this site
now i'm working on bookends, trying to hit every finger picking song in david's lesson...
i wish he has more! :)
i dig this topic!
Blind Lemon Pie:
I just tried that one this morning with a simple " TIMR" to start. What pattern do you use?
"Scarborough Fair", the version in my lesson book, not the one of David's.
I have no idea what my first finger-picked song was, its pretty much all I play though really. My favourite non original would have to be "It Dosen't Matter Anymore" by Eva Cassidy. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Vacate is the word...Vengance has no place on me or her...Cannot find a comfort in this world.

I'm currently learning Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton.
My wife paid me a compliment this week by asking which Clapton song that was :D

A sucking chest wound is Nature's way of telling you to slow down.
Godin Freeway Classic, PodXT Live, Seymour-Duncan 84-50.
(All this so I could learn 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little' Star for my youngest.)
Blackbird was my first, and now I'm workin on Mood for a Day (damn it's annoying :lol: )
edit: oh yeah, and stairway, who woulda thought....
Well, I've had some requests, but I'm going to play anyway.
HORS...its a natural. I like finger picking but I just like to play around with it at this point. I stopped the song thing in favor of practicing techiques
