So insted you just want to teach yourself while listening to certain guitarists?, if so then please try my recomendations. :)

Well i most certainly would like to learn tom waits, but im unaware of his overall difficulty

A lot of his music is hard to learn on the guitar because its transposed from piano, and can be quite complicate on a six string. I learned a bunch load of his stuff and I will honestly say that his guitar tunes are much easier than his guitar tunes. Invitation to the Blues - which is one of my favorite tunes to play, took a very long time to learn, but it was quite rewarding when I did.

I assume you meant guitar tunes and much easier than his piano tunes. He always seemed like a better pianist than guitarist, but then again, he did most of his Jazz on piano.

And yes Invitation is a killer track from a CD that doens't have too many (imo), and the only competition on that as I can recall is The one that got away.

I am trying to learn "Chocolate Jesus" right now, that seems simple enough...no?
