Hey peopl3!! I'm playing for a sweet 16 type birthday party (it's a very formal event) and it would be nice to play some acoustic fingerstyle songs (instrumental) so that no one has to sing. Right now, i don't have another guitar player to play with me so i'll be playing on my own which is why I was hoping to find some fingerstyle songs so it sounds great by itself. I've already found a fingerstyle version of Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and it sounds awesome so something similar to that type of song would be nice. Please suggest some nice songs and if you know of where a tab might be, that would be great! Some performance tips would be nice too!!! Thanks Everyone!!!

It's not with some over the top improv.

its a guitar called the pikasso that pat metheny plays. i was lucky enough to see it played live at a concert in march. completely blew my mind. bass, sitar, guitar, and i have no idea what the other one is. 42 strings in all.

I don't really know any other than what others have said, I just wanna where u got the fingerstyle version of 'Wonderful Tonight'?

[sunday_girl]

I've got a finger-picked version of "Wonderful Tonight" its in the key of "G" and its just a simple T imirmim pattern.
It sounds really nice. sorry about writing it like that, but its easy really .

Wonderwall - Oasis

Is that a real guitar, humanatlas?

hey thanx y'all 4 taking the time to suggest songs and pls. keep the suggestions rollin'. some of the songs u guys suggested seem pretty gud n im thinking of doing that john mayer cover maybe...i haven't heard de whole song yet...as for tears in heaven n dust in the wind...i agree that tears in heaven would sound kinda off if no ones singing plus the two songs may seem kinda inappropriate since its a b-day n all...plus theres gunna b a collage o' pics behind me lol...i might as well say rest in peace after i do those songs. (knock on wood). but nevertheless...they're still great songs n gud suggestions...
i'd love to play the asturias piece but its gunna take time to learn. i'm gunna listen to some more of the songs dat ppl suggested.

as for the Wonderful Tonight tab...i got it at the powertabs archive go to http://www.powertabs.net and its under clapton...u gotta download the free powertab software to open the tab n listen to it tho...can get the software at http://www.power-tab.net (they shud start payin ppl 4 advertising lol j/k ). it's a relatively easy piece to learn n it sounds good n makes u seem like a better player than u really are

thanks again ppl!!
