That’s a killer tune, I’m more of a flat picker than a finger picker these days, but I very much so respect this technique.

Pete Huttlinger's arrangement of "Hector The Hero" in DADGAD. I usually don't like playing other people's arrangements of anything but trying to get my head around DADGAD makes it almost a necessity.

It's really a fun song to play. Catchy tune and not too many measures to get into your fingers.

I started out as a flatpicker as well but then gravitated to fingerstyle since I don't have such a great voice and needed to do something different than play chords. My rhythm playing isn't too bad but my leads could use a LOT of work. But then again, so can my fingerpicking. haha

I figured out the intro and the few flourishes for Sierra Hull's "Everybody's Talking" today, and want to work on some version of "Arkansas Traveler" next. I have a lot of standards that I still need to work on. I just need to find sneak-away time from the family!

I'm working on an original that is already named. Scoot. It's the fastest playing original I have to date. Flatpicking it. I'm trying to decide if I should be using my pinky or the ring finger on a section. I think the ring finger is winning the battle right now. More control and strength.

From the beginning by ELP I’m a singer hard to play and sing at the same time lots of arpeggio going on at the same time.

I’m current familiarizing myself with the traditional Spanish classical guitar piece, “Romanza.” It’s been done by many players, but most recently, I watched Paola Hermosin do it on YouTube.

An Italian folk song: Bella Ciao (Partisan version).
Mostly it's challenging myself to learn and sing a song in Italian, a language I have no fluency in (though I do have Italian ancestry).
