Get started on umm... arpeggio/finger picking stuff...

**DJCrunkMix** · 02-18-2006, 04:55 PM

Here are the list of some easy beginner songs that helped me to learn some basics of finger picking (i dont know if this is the right term)...

But, basically what I am talking about is holding a chord and then plucking strings (with your fingers, not using a pick) not necessarily in order... even can pick two/three strings at a time...

Easy ones:

Dust in the wind - Kansas
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...e_wind_tab.htm

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...dslide_tab.htm

Don't think twice - Bob Dylan
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/..._twice_tab.htm

Dear prudence - The Beatles
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...e_ver2_tab.htm

Babe I'm gonna leave you - Led Zeppelin
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...ve_you_tab.htm

Stairway to heaven - Led Zeppelin
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...heaven_tab.htm

Intermediate:

Simple man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...le_man_tab.htm

Julia - The Beatles
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/.../julia_tab.htm

Blackbird - The Beatles
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...d_ver2_tab.htm

Silent lucidity - Queensryche
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...cidity_tab.htm

Tears in heaven - Eric Clapton
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...heaven_tab.htm

Advanced:

The needle and the damage done - Neil Young
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...e_done_tab.htm

Time in a bottle - Jim Croce
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...e_ver3_tab.htm

Very hard:

Classical gas - Mason Williams
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/...al_gas_tab.htm

Mood for a day - Steve Hoew
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/..._a_day_tab.htm

If you know any more, reply please...
I will be adding more as I learn some new songs...

Thank you

PS - I have opened a similar thread on UT under the name - neilpan.

I found it comparatively hard... its got some barre chords to hold on... The intro is easy but it gets fairly complex... ( i mean the solo)

PS - this is just in my opinion to give an idea... some ppl found "very hard" songs easy and easy songs hard. So, dont bash around ... its just a matter of how good you are and how much you practice...

stairway to heaven was my 1st one.. would call it easy!

But nice thread, reps for u

**slash_i_m** · 02-18-2006, 07:17 PM

man addd the Desperado theme thingy that one is good for trying finger pickin

**guitar_guru666** · 02-18-2006, 11:15 PM

Babe Im going to leave you would be an excellent choice, not too tough but sounds prty good once you get it, great one for beginners to try.
Reps for you yaar, good list there.

**DJCrunkMix** · 02-19-2006, 01:20 AM

@Crptic...
Thank you

... I have moved stairway to "easy" section. I just seperated the songs because it helps you in learning. Afterall, its all relative

If you're good then its easy

but honestly, I tried my ass off at stairway to heaven .... that was when I was not good with barres

..

@slash - I will add it after I try playing it

...thanks for mentioning !
Edit: which song are you talking about ? Can you please give me a link to the tab ?

@Guitar_guru ... yeah, i love that song especially when it gets pumped up ! ... thank you

**fat_kax** · 03-25-2006, 10:31 PM

nice man....real helpful...will try out each and every song here...

**uj_6string** · 03-28-2006, 05:03 PM

i am doing stairway right now, u call it easy!

well....nice thread....
reps if possible

**DJCrunkMix** · 03-28-2006, 10:17 PM

^^ I guess its all relative. Cryptic_angel called it "Easy" but I think its easy to play the first part, but hard to master the whole song

...

I found it pretty hard too

..so dont worry..

**.:SpY_GaMe:.** · 03-30-2006, 02:16 PM

u r rite

the first part is quite easy

Just finished playing that

hmm i think u can also add behind blue eyes in a very easy section well if thats picking lol check this for the picking pattern
behind blue eyes

**.:SpY_GaMe:.** · 04-08-2006, 10:16 AM

is it true that when u r pricking without a pick

u use the thumb to ring the E A strings n the other four fingers for the remaining 4 strings ie each finger a string???????
