New Sub. here! This is just what I need because I'm an older, newbie to guitar. I really like Fingerpicking. The poor 'Heavy Metal' players missed the enjoyment of this (in my opinion)! Hahaha! 😊👏🏻🥂. So - I'll be practicing this pattern until I get it down, solid.

Good lesson sir. I'm just beginning to learn how to "Travis" pick although I've been playing for a good many years. It is a challenge but also rewarding in those fleeting moments (so far) when the thumb actually goes on auto-pilot!

Glad to help! Keep picking!

Remind me of a Fleetwood Mac Buckingham guitarist who doesn’t use fingerpicks or nails, but part of his finger. I keep breaking my nails and I’m trying to learn to use the fingerpicks along with the thick. I have the thumb pic pretty much down. It’s trying to Travis pick using Fingerpicks that’s a challenge but so was Travis Pickys

Wagon wheel are you talking about Travis picking?

Nice lesson, but it's better when you start by playing the piece one time completely to show it and so we can understand the lesson better.

Okay you're right about Ma Belle Carter she did use that type of picking as well as Chet Atkins Merle Travis did not he only used two fingers hence the term Travis picking what you're showing us is not Travis picking not that I'm trying to hate on your video I really enjoyed it

Thanks for watching. From everything I’ve seen and read, Merle Travis used two fingers AND his thumb. If you can show me a video of Travis fingerpicking that doesn’t use an alternating thumb I’d love to see it. Thanks!

@@wesleystace9962I went back and looked at some people’s videos on Merle Travis picking and you’re right, Travis only used his thumb and index finger. Thanks for the clarification!
