I learned quite a few Paul Simon songs that helped me improve my right hand, both in picking and strumming. For example "The Boxer" is pretty long, thus requiring you to play the pattern consistently for quite awhile, and also incorporates a little bit of fingering work on the G chord a la "Dust in the Wind" on the C and Am chords. "Me and Julio" is a great exercise in using a fast a slightly different strum, as well as fast chord changes, and "Kodachrome" has a nice little riff that incorporates into the song, as well as a nice strum and some fast chord changing.

It probably doesn't hurt that I really like his music, and most folks really respond well to his songs.
