Favourite fingerstyle tunes

This is one of mine by Hozier called Cherry Wine, just learnt it and find it just as relaxing to play as it is to listen too

Leo Kottke - Last Steam Engine Train (written by John Fahey)

I really like Hozier too, I got his album on the strength of Take Me To Church, and the whole thing is great.

Top tune never heard of Elliott before, just checked him out and he past away at a young age, another talented artist took young

stabbed himself in the chest twice no less. Once you get into Elliott, there's no coming back. Incredible song writer.

There's another video of him playing the same piece as part of a medley - on a 12-string . The quality is very poor though, so I didn't post it. He does a lot of 12-string work - he's one of the main reasons I play a 12-string guitar, simply amazing. If only there was any chance of me ever being that good…

That's what somebody who can play blazing fingerstyle would say....

Gerard Cousins one of the classical entries from Guitar Star does a version of the Welsh song Lisa Lan that's lovely.

Sorry, I don't have tab for anything!

This was the first thing I ever heard him do. Amazing player. So frighteningly talented and rhythymic.
