i would suggest classical gas by masson williams. awesome song, i learned it after about a year of playing. its a pretty hard song, but well worth the time. when i learned to play it, i found many different version of tabs online. i looked through all of them and took out the best parts of all the tabs to make my classical gas tab. it follows the acoustic version of classical gas (on a p2p near you!) have fun!

Code: Select all

James Taylor is good to play, too. His stuff sounds really nice and it's not very hard. You'll probably need a capo, though.
