Looking for harder stuff that isn't classical!

I found this one pretty challenging...

After I worked it out (more or less) this is what I came up with...

(I then also played a "skeleton" of the tune more slowly and listed the chords and chord-frags as I more or less determined them to be in the "Lyrics" section to make it a bit easier for someone to work with.)

There's a little more information on the tune inside this past topic...

Hey, is there any way I could get a hold of the tab for "Stagefright" by Dave Evans? That'd be great. Thanks!

The song doesnt HAVE to be fingerpicked, I dont think page even finger picked it...I think he used a pick/

he didn't use a pick. but it sounds wonderful fingerpicked.

 

It really does

This one is awesome...

How's "Boy With A Coin" by Iron and Wine? He has plenty of fingerpicking songs, but I think this one is among his harder ones. It's also pretty cool sounding  ​

I think bluegrass and country songs are the best finger picking songs, especially songs like Demons by Greensky Bluegrass. Do you guys think my song would sound alright on the acoustic? I've been thinking about doing an acoustic version but I'm not sure yet!

Agree with Gary Null - Steve Howe pieces are very good to learn. Bert Jansch also has some tracks well worth learning. Check 'Peregrinations' and 'One For Jo'. 

 

Hendrick - yes this track could work if you use the main riff as the bass part and add some melodic colouring. It has potential. How is your picking technique?

There's some great video's on YouTube of this "Guy" to see how its all done, but take a listen here too - http://guybuttery.bandcamp.com

Definitely some interesting tunings and techniques to check out.

I saw a great version of Thriller for fingerstyle on youtube.  I think the guy was russian

[rcandro]

The list is very long but I think we can add to it:

"Las abejas" and "La catedral" - Agustin Barrios

"Desvairada" - Garoto (Brazilian composer)

"12 studies" - Villa Lobos

"Loro" - Egberto gismonti (performer: Paulo Martelli, arranged by Daniel wolf)

Yeah, "Yesterday - The Beatles" is a great song for the beginner guitarist because I am also learning that song too.

 

Hi Gary, I've already warned you about advertising in each post you make. Please don't let me have to do it again.

 

Cheers, Neal.
