Play 1000's Of Songs With The Travis Picking Pattern - Part 1

great video !

this is an amazing intro to Travis picking.
AND a practice routine too! super helpful.
thanks you for this.

This really is the best introduction I have seen to Travis picking. Too often tutors skip the most basic elements of what can be a tricky guitar skill to master. Without good foundations it will always be a struggle.

ive been doing this because it sounded cool didnt know it was a thing

Thanks for the lesson. I’ve been TP for a while but did not know a lot of what you explained. Ta 🎶🎸🎤👍

😲I'm learning 🙂

Awesome lesson! Thanks so much!🙏🎸

Excellent 😮instructions. Thanks

Is there a part two?

FINALLY A DETAILED EXPLANATION:) SO MANY JUST PLAY IT AND EXPECT A DYSLECTIC LIKE ME TO SEE IT:) SO MANY ARTIST DO THIS; I.E. JOHN DENVER , DYLAN, OTHERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH .

Danny Carey can play guitar!?
I didn’t know he was Australian!?
🙂🙂
But seriously! This was a great video, especially if you’ve watched every instructional video about Travis picking.
Thank you.

"If Carlsburg did guitar lessons "to ,you know the rest

Very helpful. Thank you.

Verry slow and boring, just get to the freaking songs.

More playing, less talking .

Thank you for the lesson. Your a great teacher.

You give to much information for a nitwit like me who is 57 and learning only now.
Please... just tell what the pattern is....👍

Perfect as it is.thanks

Thanks Simon, I don’t use a plectrum (can’t hold it well enough) so this is a very welcome video.

Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers...Just saying! 😉

With Travis picking you do mute the bass strings with your palm though

a worn aussie Maton guitar and jazz in the bookshelf -- obviously someone who follows real talent instead of just guitar basics or pop

Thank you! I do love learning new picking pat'ns.

Merle Travis played with 2 fingers, thumb and index only.

What do you do with the D chord?

What about the 5 chord???

Explained very well and easy to understand the principles. You're a great teacher. Thanks!!

OK?

Great lesson, thanks!

It is really annoying to see this alternate bass line being called a "Travis pick", after Merle Travis, its so-called inventor, when should you ever go on-line to "Freight Train" by Elizabeth Cotton, you will see she is playing this bass line before Merle Travis was even born, and doing it on a upside-down guitar without changing the strings.

I say the link for your lessons in the video but I don’t see it anywhere now. Could you send a link to the finger picking lessons your offering? I really like your style of teaching

👏👍🙋‍♂️🇮🇪🎸

SOOOOO much talking.

Nicely and clearly explained

You dropped tons of theory and variation before even showing the pattern itself slowly. :) it’s like you’re revealing complete chemical theory of carbon in quantum physics to show how to draw a line with pencil. Useless approach.

Nice lesson well presented and subscribed, look forward to learning this, thanks.

Thanks! I sent this to my son. Does every Aussie play a Maton? Lol

Thank you so much. It's been a week since i started watching trevis style contents... this video was the missing key and now i can keep a simple tune.
I really don't know how to thank you.

thanks from ireland

I'm going to get this. This is great! You explain it is easy Steps! Thank you. Will be watching you over and over again!!

Looked at a multitude of Travis picking videos. Ty. You excell. Makes it straight forward. Got you closer to a 1000 subs. You deserve it.

as an aside, I've always liked dear prudence over blackbird, but I was more of a lennon fan anyhow

Please make some videos for percussive guitar! ✨🎸

Great video, thanks Simon! :)

Excellent. Thanks Simon.
