So are any of you guys into this kind of guitar playing? It's like basically playing the rythm, bass, lead (sometimes) at once. I can't describe it accurately but I'll include some youtube videos here. I've been playing with this kind of style for more over a year now and I've been searching the internet for tabs of some songs that I find pleasant to play with. I just want to know if any of you guys are into this kind of music and perhaps share tabs and techniques so that I can improve my style a bit.....

Needless to say, here are some examples:

Masa Sumide (Tears in Heaven)


Sungha Jung (Yesterday Once More)


Kotaro Oshio (Fight)


Kotaro Oshio (Be Happy)


There are a lot of other great fingerstyle guitarists like Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, Andy Mckee and a lot more. I'm currently practicing a lot of their tabs and also scavenging the interwebs for tabs that are very difficult to find (some are for sale btw).

Yeah, I've been watching a lot of his videos

And I've forgot to add that I'm also a fan of Ulli Boegershausen's works!

I like guitar covers of videogame soundtracks, so this guy appeals to me:

http://www.youtube.com/user/lonlonjp

He has nearly 200 videos. Mostly square/enix games. Lotsa fingerpicking. Some mistakes here and there, but he's covering stuff that wasn't written to be played on a single instrument so it's pretty inspiring anyway.

I know it's not exactly the same thing but I'm really into jazz fingerstyle because it is just so insanely technically hard (for me at least). Comping chords+playing a bassline+improving on top of it is pretty impossible for me.

His Michael Jackson arrangements are really great but too bad his tabs are for sale! Can't blame him though.

Speaking of groovy beats. Masa Sumide's compositions are really groovy as fuck especially this song.

you can't have a fingerpicking thread without Wes Montgomery.

That guy's harmonics technique is ridiculous.

This guy however, really takes the cake as far as multi-part jazz-guitar playing. This is one of his less melodic pieces, but its rhythmic ideas are fantastic.

Well John Williams is the best living guitar player. Perfect classical style, so you should look him up I guess for some extra awesome.



couldn't say any tips other than practice til you need to go to sleep.

I have a tab for one of Don Ross' easier songs and I think some Andy McKee stuff. Let me know if you want it.

amazing thread!!
omg i love fingerpicking. When i first started playing guitar, all i played was rock and metal with a pick. I never learned chords and whatnot and all i did was attempt to shred and sweep pick. Then came gr 10 guitar class, and my teacher was a classical bitch and while the other classes learned rock, we learned classical fingerpicking style. GOD am i thankful that i never left her class =]]]!! Coz now i can play some really good fingerpicking songs. Dude if you want tabs to songs, either use ultimate-guitar.com or you can directly ask the author of the song to send you the tabs.

btw i went from heavy metal/rock to RnB =] the type of music i play on guitar now are songs like these =]
AHHHH GEEEE GEEEE!!!!
