I've been trying to play that justin king song that was on that video someone posted a while ago. Not working, although DADGAD is fun to play around with. Is that song tabbed anywhere?

Classical Gas - Eric's version. This is one of the most complicated [popular] guitar pieces I've come across, and I actually prefer this one to William's. Heh. The fingering isn't that hard, either. Just play it slowly until you have every note memorized. Then play it slowly for a few more days. Then after you can play it fast be sure to practice it slowly every once in a while to keep it perfect. I made the mistake of getting sloppy with my playing and now I'm having to go through the whole playing it slowly thing again. XD

One thing I try to do when I can't find guitar pieces that are challenging as well as fun to play is play piano pieces on the guitar. Videogame music is fun, too. I know many songs by Uematsu. :D

If all else fails, compose something you can't play and work at it until you can. Heh. Good luck! :)

Anyone who can cover a Kottke song has my infinite respect forever.

Oahu, just practice your chord shapes and fingerpicking and you'll be able to play some Kottke in no time, I promise. :)

Now that I think about it, Jim Croce's stuff is...moderately challenging (of course, I'm talking about Muehleisen's parts). Croce's songs were all good, and fun to play! Too bad he went early. :(

His stuff is definetly a bitch to sing and play(Croce) mainly because i suck at fingerpicking.

With all due respect, I have been, and you are a dirty rotten liar.

I've been working on Snorkel on and off for around three years (since the beginning). I can play it all the way through now, it only takes twenty minutes.
