Fingerpicking/non-strumming songs

[Andrew Milner]

Hey.

Can you help me out with some songs that use fingerpicking or otherwise non-strummed guitars? Think ...And Justice For All, Buried Alive, Fade To Black...that kind of stuff.

I wanna go through the fingerpicking lessons again, but I also want to learn some songs.

Thanks in advance,
Andrei.

P.S. I already know Dust In The Wind and Stairway To Heaven . The other 3 I have mentioned are already on my list, aside from Fade To Black which I already know.

First question, what kind of finger licking are you looking for? Just straight up finger picking it also some percussive element(the latter is harder to do).

Baby, I'm gonna leave you by Led Zeppin, Blackbird by The Beatles, Everloving by Moby, Road Tripping by red hot Chili Peppers, If I ever get Around To living by John Mayer are some that I really like

Tears in Heaven and More than Words are 2 of my Favorites. Maybe you might like those.
John Legend - All of Me, is nice too.

Hmm, I use a pick for both Justice and Fade, but for Tallica fingerpicking Nothing Else Matters and the short clean section in To Live Is To Die are great.

Some top choices above too.

Straight up fingerpicking mostly. Or something that could be either fingerpicked or played with a pick like in Metallica songs. Thanks for the suggestions.

These are different styles than you're asking for but I used to play Death cab for cutie - Follow me into the dark fingerpicked. I guess the original is strummed but that has a nice sound. Bob Dylan - Don't think twice it alright is also fun to play

(Or binge on Sungha Jungs original music)

 

[Adin Shepherd]

Desolate Ways by Morbid Angel is a really nice classical style piece, not overly complicated to play and sounds great.

I used to do a bunch of fingerpicking in high school. This one took me a while to learn but once I could play it it was really fun! Another fun and easy one was Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd.

@VizualSwami Nice! I had one of those picks too, lost it. Was trying to learn Saloon music, It's piano based I think.

@Lindsey I play that Death Cab song too

I loved to play those songs too

Call of Cthulhu - Metallica

I find it good for both plectrum and pick and fingerpicking practice.

Well I'd das you can already spend a fair amount of time on the buried alive Intro
Jak even has a really good and accurate lesson floating around the interwebs!

The only fingerpicky thing I've taken the effort to learn is the part from One Last Breath, by Creed.
