    I used to be a legendary guitar player in my youth, I could play Wonderwall on repeat. One day my favourite pick went missing, guitar was never the same again for me.
    Years later, and thoroughly over my troubles, I'm walking down the city streets, I look up and hear a crack and a thud. Breathless, and bleeding on the pavement, I get a glimpse of my killer.
    My old pick, with a rifle zeroed in on me.

Also, my recommendation is to try playing Tears in heaven and Bard's song... they felt really difficult when I started, but improved my playing immensly and felt really satisfying to conquer!

      Pedro Henrique R. M. Romeo and juliet is brilliant and quite hard. He has the tastiest fingerpicking style I have ever heard. There's a video of him explain how he "dropped the pick". Also Bert Janch is a very interesting fingerpicking man. Jimmy Page took a lot of inspiration (a bit too much even). I think Blackwater Side is the best of his and there are good old videos of that too.
