Great video. Merle was my uncle. He was married to my aunt Mary. I remember as a kid going to Mose Rager's house, in Drakesboro, KY. where I grew up. As kids we were always surprised who would pull in at Mose's house. Chet Atkins, Grandpa Jones. Mose entertained us all, in the summer he would set on the porch and play. Thanks for the video, it's a good video when I can break it down in my tiny brain. Nice playing.

Excellent player and excellent teacher .Thank God for you and your video gift for all to see... You got talent and you got the gift and you got IT. Thank you for giving it to all . Sitting here on Sunday afternoon thanking Jesus for your gift video.

Great lesson. Thank you, Commander Riker!!!

Alonzo, excellent! Thank You - from Hazard, Ky. and I have been a 5 string banjo most of my life. A few months ago I started to get serious about learning Travis pickin' - Your videos are just exactly what I've been looking for! I just happen to find this one #26. I will be going back and watching them all! Again, thank you so much. You are an excellent instructor, sir. Best wishes, tadd

Thanks for the great instruction. There are many great players but only a few good teachers.

Nice lesson Alonzo, You've simplified it into easily repeatable bits. Thank you.

I love the sound of his guitar.. That tone is amazing

Thanks Alonzo!! Cheers from Central America. Guatemala City.

Hahahaha! Yeah, I'll go to the pattern lesson first so! Brilliant, thank you!

Thank you !;: very good lesson ! even a Frenchie like me can understand . I like the "performance"

This version works better for me rather than thom bresh's and his dad's version because I have a short thumb. So thanks for the video.

Great stuff, many thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much, I'm going to nail this one day, give me 5 -10 years

great video !! thanks for the pointers

There is that many versions of this song !

Very good lesson!!!

Could you just please tell me what microphone you're using to talk into? I'd really appreciate it if you could, it sounds very good, but I know this is an older video, so maybe they have a much better one now, anyway come on hope to hear from you, and BTW, I really think you're a great player.

Big up fr uk

Nice lesson and playing. Out of interest, are you using 10 gauge (thin) strings? I ask as your guitars bass/treble seemed a little thin for this style. However, it could just be the recording ..or my speakers here :)

thx, big help!

Which model of gibson guitars is that??

Are these chords written down somewhere? I get reeeally frustrated trying to use my eyeballs to figure out which fingers play which frets on a video.

hello, tiger rag / I'II see you in my dreams ???

I have gone to the end of the earth in search of a video of how to do the Travis Pattern B and I cannot find it anywhere. If anyone would be so kind as to leave a link to a video, I would be eternally grateful.

WHERE DO YOU GET THE TABS

Not an ideal lesson as your guitar is out of tune, and you're playing a lot of the chord voicings wrong, including unnecessary open strings ringing.
