What are some good fingerstyle/folk songs to learn?

whiskey in the jar?

anything by James Taylor

Blackbird by the Beatles is an easy one that seems impressive.

Your mom

Green sleeves isnt that hard, and sounds nice
Acoustic medly from in flames is cool too
Theres a song from thr game metro 2033 that isnt hard either

>>727548297
if you play on top of a track like this, means only that you are not good at finger stile and you are filling just filling the air with the track.

If you are good at it, you make the solo, the bass line and the harmony at the same time.

Lol, np

I just put my guitar down and would have played you a song but vocaroo doesn't work on this device :(

>>727547107
Get the fuck off /b/ and just play. Go away now.

Oh and hotel California by Nauso Rodrigues is pretty beautiful search his name on YouTube and the first video, Licknriff will teach a simpler version,

(Although depending on your experience playing finger style it may not be so simple)

It's always fun to play a song people recognise and you wouldn't believe how many people recognise things like hotel Cali, bohemian rhapsody, stairway, wonderful tonight, Layla,Imagine, more than words, most Beatles,

But you can find finger style versions of anything on YouTube

>>727549880
Someone on YouTube even plays a Half decent version of human by ragnboneman if your into chart shit

Learn his material by ear on your classical guitar you fruit.

Finger pick until it feels like cotton
Then go folk yourself

Nothing to be honest, but there are better out there

>>727548917
If an OP asks this I can only assume he's not that skilled of a guitarist. And you're giving him fucking Tommy Emmanuel and John Butler and Andy Mckee

If you just wanted to point out some guitarists that you think you're special for knowing about you could've just said so. P.S. you aren't.

>>727551071
Point me in the direction of anything as simply played as that song, that sounds half as good. I'll learn it and play it, record and upload before the thread dies. Not OP btw

>>727551858
Not the same guy, but yeah he is right. Blackbird is not a good song to start with,neither its a good song.

>>727551858
If you're going for something simple and better than Blackbird you should learn paul mccartney's jenny wren

Holy shit sum1 has issues,

Did you even read the reply? It was a genuine post to give op based information on the subject he asked for, did you get raped as a child or something to get such a brutal ego?

I can't believe this was posted in /b/ and don't turn into a shit show.

With that being said try Naked As We Came by Iron and Wine, or maybe Stop This Train by John Mayer

John Butler is a choad licker. It's all dadgad and no faggot in his right mind would power an electric/acoustic with a marshall. Fuck that no talent hack.

this is not finger picking. i'm sorry but you're just self absorbed posting your own shit hoping someone will be impressed. i'm not.

Anything by The Tallest Man on Earth
all his first 2 albums are just him and a guitar and most/all his guitar parts I think are really beautiful

>>727554497
sorry man, didn't noticed the finger picking Op mention.

Blackbird is fun, easy and sounds great when u get the hang of it... 10/10 beginner fingerpick

>>727554388
In all honesty I haven't learned anything of his because of his retarded tuning, why would I want to spend most of my time changing from one tuning to the other, you may have a point,

But he still has skilz

>>727554388
>John Butler is a choad licker
I can't find tat song.

>It's all in dadgad
Are you talking about Ocean? That's in Open C, which is CGCGCE.

>no faggot in his right mind would power an electric/acoustic with a marshall
If you're a stupid faggot.

>>727554925
>why would I want to spend most of my time changing from one tuning to the other
That shouldn't matter, stop being a winey little bitch.

If you're a big enough faggot to play acoustic, might as well go straight for the Elliott Smith.

I guess Waiting Around to Die, by Townes is not faggotry.

>>727554925
>why would I want to spend most of my time changing from one tuning to the other
I have like 7 6-string acoustic guitars.

>>727555166
Acoustic is superior to electric.
