One finger at a time

I have started interspersing chromatic scales between songs, so as to build up single-note skills and avoid, in my friend's words, becoming a permanent rhythm guitarist. Fingerpicking these is much easier than up-and-down strumming with the pick -- for that, it really would be nice to be able to see the top of the guitar. I found a good little solo to practice today, "Fields of Gold." I think the Police may be a good source for these -- so mellow that there's nothing too high on the neck or too dauntingly fast.
