I'm learning Cosmic Square Dance to work on accompanying myself.
I wish my fingertips weren't so pudgy. Also the coordination. Much easier on a piano where syncopation is often split between two hands. On guitar I have to think of it as the low E and A strings are the bass and played by the thumb pick, and the rest of the strings are the melody and each one gets a picking finger. High E is played by my pinky, B ring finger, etc.
Of course, being a guitar you have to break this rule and occasionally share the D string with the E and A on the bass (and thumbpick)
It's a lot to get my head around but I'll get there.
