I'd also recommend 'Anybody Out There' by Pink Floyd as an excellent starter piece on fingerpicking. Its not too long, has quite a bit of repitition, and has a nice bridge part with slides. You can hear my version here:

Since you've been playing for 5-6 years you could pick these up and play well I would imagine.]]> Guitar Players Discussion JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/switch-from-flatpick-to-fingerstyle-help/#post-341844 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/switch-from-flatpick-to-fingerstyle-help/#post-341829 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:22:00 +0000

It is not terribly difficult, is not really repeating, but has a steady alternating bass line so you can start to generate song thumb independence.

Check out some of JAW's other songs for inspiration... but be warned... most of them are fairly advanced.]]> Guitar Players Discussion lue42 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/switch-from-flatpick-to-fingerstyle-help/#post-341829 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/switch-from-flatpick-to-fingerstyle-help/#post-341828 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:50:06 +0000 The goal is to get your fingers working independently to do what's needed when needed. It would be easy to get stuck in a dead end of doing only a pattern or two. (I spent some time in that box myself)

So practice pattern or two for 15 minutes with great focus. Then do something else. Then try the fingerstyle song you want to do with great focus. Playing fingerstyle songs is the point of the exercises after all.

I've taken WEEKS to get a bass pattern down properly doing 15 minutes per night. I've done this enough times that I have complete faith that I WILL get it if I practice correctly.
Some finger puzzles are harder than others :-)]]> Guitar Players Discussion unimogbert https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/switch-from-flatpick-to-fingerstyle-help/#post-341828 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/switch-from-flatpick-to-fingerstyle-help/#post-341826 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:33:29 +0000 Robbie]]> Guitar Players Discussion Robbie https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/switch-from-flatpick-to-fingerstyle-help/#post-341826
