how hard is #3?
For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again

I always tell myself i'm gonna learn #3 and i start it and get the first couple parts down then i give up on it and forget it all and have to start all over again. One day though i will get the whole thing down. it is a great instrumental track.

Claptons Verison on "Reconsider Baby" which is off of From the Cradle which is a bad ass album. It's and Electric song and it's all lead stuff, but the site has some useful fingerstyle tips :D

Here Comes the Sun (Beatles),
Quite a few Zeppelin songs are suitable to fingerpick(portions of them at least) Stairway, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You are two I can think of off the top of my head.

If you wanna really impress your friends play "Bron Y Aur" by Jimmy Page.. Its not Bron Y Aur Stomp...
Its like... getting two birds stoned at once. (Ricky-trailor park boys).

a number of Iron & Wine songs are fingerstyle and sound amazing, check out 'Naked As We Came', and 'Cinder and Smoke' beautiful stuff. they're fairly easy to play also once you get down the patterns, i've been playing guitar for about 3 years but had never played any fingerstyle stuff before and i was able to pick up these 2 songs pretty easily with some practice here and there over a few days.

Absouletly.. I figured though that one would be way too hard to learn if your just starting...
