In before, "Just keep playing!"
I'm first and foremost a pianist but over the past couple years I've taken a shine to just sitting on the couch and fingerpicking while I'm watching TV. I can't play much fingerpicking, even less entire songs. I can do like the first minute of Blind Guardian's "The Bard's Song" but my two favorite things to play are "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac and "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas. The two most predictable, basic, fundamental fingerpicking songs for any amateur guitarist, I imagine. But they're SUPER fun to play. Those patterns are extremely satisfying to play and even sing over, but I want some other songs like that which use different patterns. I like those quick patterns using my thumb as the bass note and alternating between the other fingers, the feeling of moving my fingers fluidly like that is very satisfying indeed.
One of my favorite things to do is sit and fingerpick Anathema's "Untouchable, Pt. 1" - it's taken me months to work up the speed but I'm finally getting there. I can't play much complex stuff, but I've worked and worked and worked at that and I feel good whenever I'm able to pick through it several times without stopping. The stamina and dexterity required is wild. Now it took me forever to figure out barred chords and how to properly play them so I know I will break through at some point, but it's practice I love so that's not a problem...
Any help? I see lots of suggestions for songs online but like, man, I just don't enjoy "Blackbird" by The Beatles, for example. Just looking for some more songs with cool/accessible fingerpicking patterns. I can pick Opeth's "Patterns In The Ivy, Pt. 1" but can't fingerpick it to save my life, mostly because it's a bit more complex than Landslide or DITW...
Alternatively, should I just find a bunch of patterns and work on those? I've tried that before but because it becomes just 'practice this over and over' I lose interest quickly, I like having the context of a song to make it more compelling.
