This month Acoustic guitar magazine has a Cat Stevens tab sheet lesson on "into the mystic". I am not great at finger picking and not sure if it's something on my level. Of course I will try anyway but i was wondering if anyone has played this song and how difficult it is. Love cat Stevens....
Thanks!!!

The best way to improv is by doing something that´s just above your confort zone. If it´s too difficult, maybe you would want to try an easier finger picking song like Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. Great tune! also Silent Lucidity bu Queensryche.

Fortunately and oddly enough I like both cat Stevens and Metallica! :0)
Right now I'm digging on jack Johnson too...
