well you aren't great.

those songs aren't too tough, but they're no walk in the park.

you're pretty much above average. fingerpicking doesn't come easy.

order yourself a cd with rick ruskin on it and some music... that will give you challenges. Beautiful stuf but makes you do mind boggling finger picking double pulls and hammers at the same time. There are never bar chords so he makes you play all five fingers in really crazy chords. Start with a song like Kudah Duxx only should take you a few weeks then try a minor little incident that song will kick your butt garunteed

I think youre about average. You may try bron-yr-aur by led zeppelin, I think it would fit you (or so I hope).

Try Eric Johnson - A Song for Life too. I may be a little bit better than you in fingerpicking (judging after the songs you know, and I'm being realistic, I'm not bragging) but I teached myself that song and its great.

Haha, yea man thanks for the advice. Im trying the Eric Johnson one cuz i dont wanna go in to any screwed up tunings tonight.

try some fleetwood mac stuff... you'll need a capo, no wierd tunings (there is a drop D song but...)

so try:
Landslide (dixie chicks covered it) capo 3
Never Going Back Again (capo 4, drop D)
