I have been really big on the slide guitar and finger picking played by Doug Martch's (Built to spill) on his solo album 'Now you Know". I have been trying to figure some of these out but the syncopation is really throwing me for a loop. I am decent at Travis picking but this seems to be a little harder for me. Here is a link the a video of him playing "Dream", a song I would really like to learn.

The song Dream: If you fast forward to about 3:20 that is when he starts the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrbVSECZGNw

I have also been trying to figure out the song "Stay" from the same album. Again the syncopation is confusing me.
Here is a link to the album: http://www.amazon.com/Now-You-Know-Doug-Martsch/dp/B00006I09L
