Fingerstyle electric guitar

Do you play fingerstyle electric?
Not just with the thumb like Albert King or Mark Knopfler
but like a classical guitarist would do.
I saw a blues guitarist playing like that and he was amazing, playing so many notes at the same time, do you know a site that would help me to learn to play fingerstyle?

Have you seen the movie Crossroads?
at the duel as you know Steve Vai is the one who is performing that classical piece (i think its Paganini)
and he is playing it fingerstyle, can you play arrpegios fingerstyle?

The paganini part is not played fingerstyle. As for the arpeggios before the main part, they aren't written by paganini, and they may or may not be played fingerstyle (just cause it shows the kid doing it doesn't mean they are.) The part that quotes paganini (the fifth caprice, it only quotes a very small section, though) is most certainly picked.
Anyway, as for sites that will help you play fingerstyle, try learning classical stuff. http://www.mysongbook.com/ has some stuff. http://www.guitarplaying.com has a tab search engine, you can look for classical stuff there.

I started out on a nylon string acoustic guitar for two years, and once I finally added an electric guitar to the family I was very unfamiliar with using a pick, but I got the hang of it. Its just that fingerstyle is a technique that I always felt the need to utilize, because it helps you get in touch with your instrument and the many possibilities. Many years later, I have dabbled in various techniques, but I'm very thankful for those early training years with fingerstyle, which gave me a much better appreciation for the instrument itself, as well as much needed patience to succeed. Its never too late to start with fingerstyle, its great for your coordination, and if you havent tried led Zeppelin's master piece "Stairway to Heaven" yet, you don't know what you're missing.

Also try Wholnote.com, they have some pretty neat riffs.

"can you play arrpegios fingerstyle?"

I'm more of a pickstyle player, but i've been taking classical lessons in the past few months. To me, playing arpeggios across strings (never more than one note per string) is easier with the fingers. While these can be swept with a pick, to keep them even and in time i think that it's usually easier fingerstyle. The crossroad arpeggios, since they have more than one note per string, become more difficult and complex, and to my mind are easier with a pick. Somebody like elliot fisk, however, I'm sure could blow away most pickstyle players using his fingers on arpeggios like that.

Yeah, that part at the end of the movie is most certainly NOT fingerstyle.

There is, however, a scene at the beginning that shows the kid playing that Paganini piece fingerstyle. It's right after he gets lectured by his teacher for wanting to play the blues.

Right. But, incidentally, it can be played fingerstyle. I have a recording of elliot fisk (a well known classical guitarrist who studied with segovia) playing the fifth caprice. He buries vai, it's not pretty. Try and download it on winmx.com.

Anyone have tab for the fingerstyle version of the Paganini 5th?

I read that Steve Vai played it fingerstyle and since i saw the movie a long time ago i dont remember if it was fingerstyle

I started out fingerstyle mainly due to the fact I was too heavy handed with a plec. now however I play both singualy and at time.

At the same time using the thumb and index finger holding the plec and the remaining three to pic with, this style probably has a name but I don't what it's called, does it and what is it, anyone know

its called hybrid picking

Why should tab for fingerstyle be any different from tab pickstyle? In this case, the notes are the same. Do you mean pima notation?
