DESCRIPTION:
I've put together a pretty basic lesson on arranging songs for fingerstyle/finger picking guitar. Hopefully it will be helpful to anyone looking to play songs in a similar way.
It's just a rough guide but it will give you an insight into how I do it and you should be able to take it from there if you want to. The song I use as my example is The Smiths - There is a Light That Never Goes Out and you can check out the full video for the song here:

I hope you enjoy it, any feedback would be great.
Edit: I've uploaded a second part to this video that goes into what to do when the melody goes much higher than the first three frets. Here's the link:

Thanks!
