Hi Dan,

Nice to meet you too!

I love your requests re: artists and songs. Right up my alley! We are always working to get the proper legal clearance to present copyright-protected songs. When your artists' works come up on the list, I am sure we will jump on them.

I was majorly influenced by James Taylor as a guitar learner. If you like his fingerstyle stuff, I've created an extensive tutorial on the foundations that underlie his technique. You might try this out to get the skills under your belt so when we get cleared to present a great JT classic, you'll be ready to go!

Here's Level One in a 10-level tutorial. Feel free to jump ahead if some of this stuff is already familiar to you.
