I have found some Coldplay, In my Place and Green Eyes. Not many chord changes if I can get my head round the phrasing. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star would be a start, ha ha..... Also ordered the "You can teach yourself fingerpicking guitar" to give that a go. Believe me I will try anything.

I thank you all for those thoughts. Its good to know its not just me....I was learning alot of chord changes in my lessons and also started on tunes that I didnt know the phrasing for, like Georgia by Ray Charles. So many different versions of that tune that I couldnt get my head round it. It was so infuriating and thus my motivation was dwindling quite a bit because of it. Thats why I decided to go it alone. I have taken your advice and picked out a couple of my favourite songs that I play on cd in the car, I play them over and over to get the phrasing in my head and am going to have a bash at them. Let you know how I get on.

I have been taking lessons to play my acoustic guitar for a year and have now taken the big step of cancelling and going it alone. Now I am so confused with all the different stuff out there I dont know where to start to learn something new. I am still very slow in changing chords so not looking for a classical symphony to play. Just something simple. Any clues where to start to help my confidence and motivation levels.
