One of Carens lessons I would suggest you look at us is the song "Foolish Games" by Jewel which was done on piano but Caren converted for us on guitar. There's only one chord in there she uses the third finger so it's a great lesson to get started on using it.

Hey Moe,

Thanks for the tip on "Foolish Games". That's a challenging and fun song to play (more of the former at the moment). Chris Schlegel recently posted in response to a Travis picking question and said that use of the pinky is common for those who dare brave the unforgiving world of Classical music. I'm sticking with Jewel!
