I am still a beginner, but I am working through Irish and English folk tunes so that I can play at my local sessions. Sometimes I find that they use similar notes and movements, and I have found myself wanting to learn tunes that force me out of my comfort zone.
A good example would be that I only play a couple of songs when I need to use my pinky for that 7th fret E-string B-chord (The Kesh Jig for instance). I also tend to only really play across the D and A strings, with movement up to the E string for the B section of songs.
I rarely, if ever, use the G string which is a shame because I rather like the minor chord sound of songs that use the G and D strings.
So, do people know songs (perhaps 2 or 3) that they recommend for improving elements of play?
