Fingerpicking Songs - 24 Great Songs to Try

Singing and playing the guitar is really a wonderful thing. It gives me so much joy and peace and... well, a lot of wonderful feelings.

I have been playing for a while now. 35 years have passed since the first time I picked up my brother's guitar for the first time, in attempt to play the durned wooden sound thingy.

As beginners we have enough to think about, trying to get our fingers to do as they are told. Struggling with chords ain't the easiest thing, and on top of that we try not to sing off-beat or off-key. Arpeggios and stuff doesn't even exist.

But the time comes when we can handle that. The shifting between chords runs smoothly we can sometimes even remember the lyrics. And sometimes we get bored of just strumming up and down, up down down, up up down...well, you know what I mean.
