Default help w/ finger style music...

If you are a finger style player please help me...

I've been playing for oever 12 years but still consider myself
a "internediate-level" player, since playing guitar is just my hobby
and I don't have time to learn from a teacher. So my skill
is saturated at playing regular/common chords. Now I'd like to
further sharpen my skills to higher level and move forward to
play some advanced finger style techniques. However I come from
Asia so I'm not familiar with a lot of American songs/music.
My favorite music is more country/R&B than blue/jazz/rock.
So would you please recommend some material or sheet music
of finger stlye that I can practice? And where I can find them?
I find that usually big/small book stores won't carry this kind of
stuff.
Thanks!!!

Howard

Go to www.chordmelody.com. Call Steven Heron at the number on that site (he's the prorpietor of that web site and a fine guitar teacher) and ask him for recommendations. Steven is my teacher and I take lessons in his office which is lined with bookshelves full of his inventory of guitar music, instruction books and videos. I personally would work through a couple of videos until you get to the point where you have technique down enough to tet to the point where you can just learn from books.
Good luck.
