Oh and Sungha Jung's version of Sweet Child of Mine would be a good challenge.

In fact anything by him would be worth trying

Anything by Tom Petty is a great place to start, Free Falling for example.

Mason Williams “Classical Gas” is an impressively sounding finger-pick for any guitarist to have in their repertoire ….!.

You could also try rearranging songs written for electric guitar to acoustic or even songs that were never intended to be played on guitar primarily.

I'll second that, Justin's great. I've been playing 25 years and got stuck in a rut, but have learned lots of new techniques from watching his videos. Just as good for beginners too.
