I'd go along with GUEST a few posts back who suggested changing your tuning to DADGAD... and then finger pick. Try to play as few notes at a time as you can! Less is definitely more in different tunings....

I've been playing the guitar for nearly forty years and try not to be falsely modest about my level of achievement... ie I'm ok... but it was only in the last eighteen months that I tried DADGAD and it has opened up a hugely liberating way for me to play. It certainly does have its limitations: it's very easy to fall into the same note patterns for accompaniments etc, but just as a way of freeing up your mind and your fingers I think its fantastic. And playing in that when then has an positive effect when you use conventional tuning.

Oh, and the other thing is that with 6 chords in normal tuning you're pretty much there especially if you've got a capo. There's no shortage of chord books around. As long as you've got a "Key's worth" of chords you can just slap a capo on and play in pretty much any key!

If that doesn't make sense to you then do pm me and I'll explain more clearly what I mean, but most chord books will offer you chords related to the keys in which they work.

Best of luck
