These are absolutely amazing. My only problems are fingerpicking tutorial are definitely always "fingerstyle the whole song" I like to sing, so I just want to fingerpick the instrumental melody in the original recording. Yesterday is a good example of what I'm looking for honestly

[@dpoodle1711]

[@richardredlight7246]

Great man, this gives me some inspiration to practice thanks!

[@bradlengel3150]

Nice! Seems everyone - Rick Beato, Paul Davids and others are doing their top finger-picked songs, and many of these songs overlap. Seeing as some of the songs on your list are adaptations for finger picking or may have been originally recorded flat-picked and you are also including songs played on classical guitar and you go as far back as the 60s (Beatles), here are some notable omissions or songs you should check out that come to mind, particularly when covering 100 songs: Heart "Crazy on You"; Genesis/Steve Hackett e.g "Entangled", "Cuckoo Cuckoon", "Blood on the Rooftops" (technically everything Hackett plays is finger-picked), ...; Moody Blues "Legend of a Mind", "Are You Sitting Comfortably", ...; Yes/Steve Howe (many are combo-picked but can be played finger-picked) "Mood for a Day", "The Clap" ...; Pink Floyd "Goodbye Blue Sky"; Triumph/Rik Emmet "Midsummer's Daydream", "Petite Etude", "Fantasy Serenade", ...; Styx "Crystal Ball"; Doobie Brothers "Blackwater"; Third Eye Blind "Motorcycle Drive By"; Rush "Closer to the Heart", "Rivendell", "Broone's Bane" I'll have to do my own list that covers the Progressive Rock greats which seem to get overlooked. Kudos to including "Solsbury Hill" and "Going to California"!

[@ArteGrabado]

Passenger Let Her Go is a hard riff...the sound you HEAR is easy to play, but that bass note and weird pattern of the rest is the hard part...I can play allot of songs on this list but still can't play that smooth.

@@Solaxer technically it was ripped lol. They never asked for permission to sample the song, so Juice WRLD & his producer got into legal trouble with Sting and later had to give up 85% of the song’s rights to him.

Such a great work Chris! Thank you for all your beautiful lessons! However I have to ask you why you don’t have any of Rolling Stones music? Don’t you like them or maybe the stones are simply bad for fingerstyle?

Thanks Dimitri. I'm definitely a Stones fan, I'm sure I'll do some of their songs at some point.

[@georgesutton2191]

Sorry, More Than Words at 44 after anything with an alternating base line is just kinda absurd to me. Travis picking is something I've worked at consistently for months now and still don't have down, especially when you're adding melody underneath. The difference in difficulty between Dear Marie, which is a pretty easy song to play, and Deep River Blues is honestly light years. At the beginning of this video I was thinking "man I must really suck at guitar", but then I saw Who Says listed at 82 and that was one of the first songs I ever learned to finger pick, so I guess I'm doin alright.
