    'Blackbird' by The Beatles is a nice, easy finger-picking acoustic song to learn..

    ~Alice's Resteraunt-Arlo Guthrie
    ~In The Pines-Lead belly...or Nirvana
    ~Dont't Think Twice-Bob Dylan
    ~Going to California- Led Zeppelin


    You can really finger pick anything just fool around with it, find patterns that sound good...

    Stairway to Heaven is probably the most obvious one but still good to learn, but here are a few more:
    Don't think twice - Bob Dylan
    Bron-Yr-Aur - Led Zep

    These are a good workout with many chord changes alternating between major and minor chords.
    Hotel California- The Eagles
    Hesitation Blues- Hot Tuna

    Try 'Uneasy Rider' by Charlie Daniels. It's great.

    If you like blues music... u can find so many blues finger picking songs by like Muddy Waters, Buddy Holly, and so on. Also check out Eric Clapton's acoustic album, very many awesome fingerpicking songs.
