hey i've been playing guitar for about a year and a half now, and im in a fingerpicking stage at the moment.
at the moment the only fingerpicking songs i can play are nothing else matters, stairway to heaven and classical gas (parts of). i would love to know some good fingerpicking songs or riffs to learn. i know that opeth prob have a few but i dont know them very well. anyway, post away.

one version of Beethovens 'fur elies' and even his 'moonlight sonata' have finger picking here and there

finger eleven's 'one thing' is a REALLY easy finger picking song.

I highly reccomend Kansas - Dust in the Wind.

Great song, but since I suck at fingerpicking...I can't play it.

also any arpeggios or stuff like Sonata Arctica - Replica is cool as well, even though they use a pick.

I think fur elise is very good for finger picking and its the easiest u will find.

i would recomend blackbird by the beatles! it is not hard but not easy either

Dust in the wind is pretty good fingrpicking, but also you must practice hard to get it...
Do a little research, or ask a classical guitar players, you can find lots of good stuff there. Good luck!

moonlight sonata. fucking hell, the song is hard to play. ive been at it for about 2 weeks now, and i can only get the first 2 bars

I'm now trying to learn it too...and right now I'm on 'Desolate Ways' by Morbid Angel, GREAT starter!

you mean you're learning moonlight sonata?

i can nail it now, but i use my pick. and it works exactly the same way. just mute one of the stings that getting in the way.

long live the pick!

Yes! I am a pick guy myself, but I'm trying to moreless expand my forte' lol.

Not very metal but Greensleeves is a good song to finger pick.
