08.25.16 | I'd say I'm somewhere on the spectrum between intermediate and advanced in terms of skill level, so don't be throwing out some 'With Arms Wide Open'-type recs because that'll just be over with in 15 minutes, but at the same time I'm not gonna be mastering John Butler's 'Ocean' any time soon, namsayin
list is stuff I can play real good |
porcupinetheater
08.25.16 | Probably aware of him already coming from Youtube an' all, but Andy McKee's Rylynn seems in your wheelhouse |
ScuroFantasma
08.25.16 | If you like 1 check Camel - Never Let Go |

08.25.16 | Try Yes' Mood for a Day, from Fragile. It's technically just Steve Howe on solo acoustic, but it's credited to the band cause Fragile was their "solo members vs. full band-compositions" album. Reminds me of a peaceful day on a Mediterranean island or something. |

08.25.16 | nowhere near that level, some tracks I'm working on learning atm are:
some Iron & Wine stuff (simple and fun to play ie Naked as We Came, Fever Dream (slightly tougher))
Cohen - Suzanne / Famous Blue Raincoat
Cat Stevens - How Can I Tell You
FJM - I Went to the Store One Day
Sufjan Stevens - Death with Dignity
try some older Tallest Man stuff like Lion's Heart/Love is All or I Won't Be Found
otherwise once I'm good enough (which'll take some time..), I'd love to try stuff like:
Fleetwood Mac - Never Goin Back Again
Bert Jansch - The First Time...
Joni Mitchell - Little Green
some Kurt Vile jams etc

InfamousGrouse
08.25.16 | forgot the songs I wanna master more than any of those tbh
Lianne la Havas - No Room for Doubt
Françoise Hardy - Même sous la pluie (but unfortunately tabs don't exist) |
Archelirion
08.25.16 | Most of the tracks off of Ben Howard's 'I Forget Where Were' are a fairly good challenge I find. |
DungeonBoy
08.25.16 | Dark Tranquillity - The Mind's Eye
https://youtu.be/uBEDb_bF0AI
Also Vali/Musk Ox recs hard. |
bloc
08.25.16 | Extreme - More than Words |
Boyaawitcheese
08.25.16 | Dude, I'm the same. I hardly reach for a pick anymore. Iron and Wine, Sufjan Stevens, and Tallest Man are my go to's. |
DominionMM1
08.25.16 | lotsa good fingerpicking stuff in the buckingham era fleetwood mac discog
also led zeppelin- bron-yr-aur |
demigod!
08.25.16 | Yeah Sufjan stuff can be really fun, everything on seven swans especially.
Also some 70s Rush stuff and Nick Drake |
Ignimbrite
08.25.16 | All great suggestions, thanks a ton y'all! Iron and Wine definitely has a lot of great stuff that isn't on here: I think Naked As We Came might have been one of he first fingerpicking songs I ever learned.
I've tried my hand at a few Nick Drake songs and they're fun to play but it seems like most of the ones I've learned are in these super weirdass timings that I get scared off by because I like to use slightly heavier string gauges and any tuning that goes higher than standard is super stressful to reach |

08.25.16 | I feel you bro. For me it's all about the lower tunings for fingerpicking, which is why Vali is up there for me as GOAT. It's not always about the difficulty imo either, just what sounds beautiful. |
AlexKzillion
08.25.16 | Not a huge finger picker myself, but the short acoustic interlude of The Leper Affinity is fun as hell to play. Fairly easy too seeing as I can play it pretty well. |
judasgoat
08.25.16 | Literally the entirety of Sun Kil Moon's Admiral Fell Promises is fingerpicking heaven. I know a little bit of Australian Winter. |
demigod!
08.25.16 | What tuning(s) do the Vali guys use BBB? |
ShadowRemains
08.25.16 | elliott smith - angeles |
RogueNine
08.25.16 | Yeah, Fleetwood Mac. Someone already said Never Going Back Again which was gonna be my rec. |
ButteryBiscuitBass
08.26.16 | Demi, Vali plays 1 and a half steps down. So C# /F# / B etc |
GeorgeWBush
08.26.16 | Both are p easy, but really fun nonetheless.
Gustavo Santaolalla - The Last of Us
Syd Matters - Obstacles |
