watsup! well i set myself some goals to learn a couple songs that i love. and im still working on others and i started wondering...these songs might be too hard. wat do you guys think about:

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Since i've been loving you - Led Zeppelin
NIB - Black Sabbath

i am still a beginner although i know quite a few songs. and i am still working on other songs but i will move on to these soon. since i've been loving definitely seems like the hardest one.

how long you playin?

Nothing Else Matters i found to be a tricky one. But it can be simplified particularly through the verse, instead of the finger picking patern, i just strum open chords, Em D C x 3, G B7 Em x1 then C A D... it doesnt sound the same, but i have seen a live accoustic version where Metallica did the same thing.

Thats the only one i can actually play out of your list, so i couldnt comment on the others.

i think a good begginner song is country roads, as it has few chords, but it sounds like you have been playing for a little while

If you want to sound real cool without too much trouble, try Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. Lots of open strings on that one.

thats quite a reach isnt it?
i have the verse down but i the rhythm needs work and i have a little trouble with the chords in the chorus and thats as far as i have gotten. havent tried the interlude yet.

Pinky and Ring finger fret at the 5th and your index will find the 2nd easily.
