A simple yet stunning song that pretty much everyone knows.

As soon as they hear the opening fingerpicked notes, it all comes back. To me that’s the sign of a great song, play the first few notes and everyone knows it!

Learn this simple classic and get crooning!

 

Simon and Garfunkel – Scarborough Fair

Scarborough Fair was a huge hit for these two folk pop legends and one that will go down in history as an important part of one of musics most memorable gigs – the New York Central Park gig.

That night they played this amazing song and blew the whole city away.

Blow your audience away with your rendition of this distinctive and powerful classic.

 

Tracy Chapman – Fast Car

Fast Car is a song close to my heart and I remember hearing it as a kid and really loving it back then.

Since teaching guitar, ‘Fast Car’ has made its way to the top of my list as the first fingerpicking song that I teach most of my private students – if they like it of course!

 

Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová – Falling Slowly (from the huge film ‘Once’)

The 2008 Academy Award winning song from the massive independent film ‘Once’.

This song, the winner for best original song category is so sweet and so pretty it will melt any of the day’s frustrations away.

It’s songs like this that make getting home from work and picking up the guitar so satisfying.

It is so powerful. It can and often does bring a lump in the throat of people when they play and listen to it. Check it out if you don’t know it.

 

Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars

A unique fingerpicking version of this beautiful song that uses just 3 simple chords and some sweet embellishments.

 

R.E.M. – Everybody Hurts

A true 90’s classic that everyone know.

You’ll learn how to fingerpick in 6/8 and play in a Dorian mode. – by the way, it’s easier than it sounds!

 

Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley/Rufus Wainwright – Hallelujah 

It’s getting closer to Christmas and this is a great time to learn this classic song that is so popular at this time of the year.

My version, that you will learn, is a hybrid of the Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright version.

It has the best of both worlds – sounds great but is simple to play.

 

Bill Withers – Ain’t No Sunshine

Everyone knows this. A rather simple but highly powerful song that you can learn in just minutes.

If you’re a singer, that’s a bonus but if not you have a cool instrumental that will be easy to learn.

Some of the chords you don’t even need to fret the strings for!

 

Ferdinando Carulli – Andantino

This is a truly beautiful piece that you might not know the name of, but you will be sure to recognise.

Even if you have somehow never heard it before, you might just instantly fall in love with its melancholic beauty.

It’s one of my favourite classical pieces to teach and listen to. For all its simplicity, the music is absolutely stunning.

It’s also a very impressive piece that has been described as “the sound of a waterfall”.
