Default THE WAY OF THE FINGERSTYLE: EASY - MEDIUM EASY

Hi everyone, I'm loving this forum.
I consider it suitable for improving fingerstyle.
As I said in an old post:
I can strum very well, but with the strings, really bad.
I want to discover and train in this fantastic world.
My myth is Tommy Emmanuel but maybe I start badly.
Because I would like to do one of his songs right away but I find it complex.
I started fingerstyle for 6 days.
I have been playing the guitar for two and a half years.
What I would like to do and improve slowly.
At the moment I have two songs that I do well:
1) Blackbird - Beatles
2) Sweet Creature- Harry Syles.
The meaning of this post is this:
I wish someone of you would make me a ladder, a challenge to follow:
recommend 1 to 5 songs from easier to medium easy that you BELIEVE can improve me.
Please, I accept your help and advice.
Genres I like: Pop, Rock, Tommy Emmanuel. But I also accept help from other genres, the important thing is that they are songs that can improve me to start well.

Well, you can hardly go wrong with John Hurt, if you like old country blues and you're interested in starting at the beginning. I learned a lot from Richland Women Blues (sounds like The Midnight Special).

Fleetwood Mac has lots of finger style arrangements.

Landslide
The Chain

Lots lots more that I can't think of right now.

Get Toby Walker’s introductory course. He’s a member here and a good teacher. He starts you off with Oh Susana which sounds corny but is a nice way to ease in.

I think there are lots of ' Free ' options before spending money.

Spend the time to research and watching videos, determining what Genre Music you are interested in.

Huge contrast between Tommy E and the Blues, I'd do a bit more digging before paying for lessons (literature)

+1 for this suggestion. This book and the subsequent Art of Solo Fingerstyle material will provide a logical progression and resulting solid foundation for you to take on just about any fingerstyle arrangement. Check it out for sure.
