Here is my cover of Cannonball Rag by Merle Travis. I thought I would experiment with this video and throw in some more camera angles. Yall tell me what you think about it!

Fantastic ! The REAL Travis-Picking, only thumb and index, with those very particular "thumb rolls" that made Merle's playing so special ! BRAVO ! 😍😍😍

Thank you very much! I try to keep it as close to Merle as possible.

Obviously this has been up a while but It's the first time I've seen it. THAT is exactly Merle Travis style. Thumb and one finger. Opposite thumb over the fretboard. Excellent, excellent excellent job.

When I close my eyes and think of Merle Travis's music, I now think of Caleb's playing! That boy is GOOD!!

I have to say that 'Antoine Payen' took the words right from my mouth when he commented: "Fantastic! The REAL Travis-Picking, only thumb and index, with those very particular "thumb rolls" that made Merle's playing so special! BRAVO!" I was going to say the same thing. Listeners got so wrapped up in your picking they failed to comment on the camera angles...lol! I like the camera angles. I think it keeps things fresh and more enjoyable to watch. Good work!

Glad to see Merle Travis style lives on. Many followed him , like chet, Jerry, and dozens more. Keep up the tradition.

One of the few that can do the authentic Travis rolls with the thumb and 1st finger. Great!

@Tamas Varga No true. It produces a different "Travis" sound than doing it with 3 fingers.

My thumb is too short for making chords over the top of the neck. So I play it a little differently. But nice to see how it is supposed to be played. Great Job.

This is incredible!! I’ve just begun learning this and can’t find anywhere to get an authentic tab of what Travis does! Where did you go to learn?

@calebcootsmusic 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! My grandpa taught me how to play and I just listened to Merle’s versions of it and just played what I heard. My grandpa is Eddie Pennington and he is the greatest teacher I could have had. If you don’t know who he is you need to look him up on KZfaq as well!

@calebcootsmusic 7 ай бұрын

Well if I am honest I don’t know how TAB works. I would think if you found different versions of the tab you could use the locks to work it out. Thank you for reaching out and I apologize for not knowing
