Thanks again Kevin. Travis picking is a gateway to so many classic acoustic hit songs. It’s so easy to sound good just noodling once you get the patterns down.
He Kevin - I just got my email from you, little history of myself - I’m 68 (soon to be 69 LOL). I have been playing tenor and baritone ukuleles 7 years and my husband surprised me with a Zager easy play guitar for Christmas, so I dive right in to playing and loving it so now I’m try to fingerpick and it’s not going the greatest and by a miracle I found you on TH-cam 😉😁 - I spent the morning going through some of your songs and you are so easy to follow so I think I’m back on track. I have been playing a lot of country tunes and gospel tunes already and was happy to see you do more of the oldies rock. Thank you and bless you for all you do.
Hi Kevin,Vicki and Little Maggi Mae. Thankyou so much for the Travis picking lesson.Kevin you are the best teacher, you make it easy to follow and you are very clear on how to. Thanks to you I'm getting better at playing guitar.I even bought a new carbon fiber 6 string.A,real Kool lindo.i have a beautiful Canadian made Norman that plays beautiful.My wife even likes how well I've progressed. Thanks again Ted
Great lesson. At 54 yrs and now 3 months into this journey, I’m glad I was pointed to your channel. The Fender app runs its course in another 30 days, after which I’m happy to subscribe so you can keep this up!
Thank you. MY Son has been playing the Bass and Guitar for 10 years. He loves it so much. He was stricken with Schizophrenia and stopped playing. I went and purchased a Drum Set and began to learn the Drums, Bass and Electric Guitar just so we could play together. I have been playing for about a year now, practicing five to ten minutes a day ( I work a lot of hours). We play together Fridays and Saturdays. Thank you for showing us in such a calm and practical way.
Thank you Kevin. I'll work on both methods and let you know when that happy "breakthrough" comes and I have it right. I'm thinking it's not unlike learning to ride a bike or learning how to swing a golf club. Again thank you. I'll click subscribe since I know that helps you. Best wishes, Steve
Hi kevin & Vicky The Travis pattern your playing as you say is great I have been doing the same pattern for the last two weeks A great song for this is ( loves gonna live here ) by buck owens All the very best John .s Manchester ENGLAND
Kevin I like your lesson. Thanks. For some reason I find it easier and natural for me to do a two finger thumb and index Travis picking. Will that give me the same sound as the three finger method you're doing? Do you have a two finger lesson? Again thank you
It can. Just have to move your fingers more because your index finger plays different notes too. If it sounds good it is good. :). I don’t have a lesson on that yet.
You are right. I find that way a little more advanced. This is more of a beginner lesson. Good place to start. Have another Travis picking lesson in the works that sounds more Prine.
@Relaxandlearnguitar Ha! I'm just trying to get into a bit of picn and thumb n index seems so much in the KISS that I like for me. (Keep it simple Stupid) system that I rely on!

Hi Ted. You are most welcome and I love hearing that you are learning and playing that new guitar!
Just want to say one thing - Gotta love your teaching style! I’m getting a lot out of it. From a retired old fogie learning to do some picking.
That’s great! Happy to help
Love this and I'm so happy that your channel is catching on. 🙂
Thank you!

By the way, I started at 53.
You are so welcome and thanks for sharing your story! Keep on picking! Thanks for tuning in :)
Thanks for posting these videos, I may or may not perfect it , but you opened the door to understanding the how to.
You are welcome, glad we could help!
Good stuff, as always! Travis picking is my favorite! Very soothing melodies and pretty easy to learn!
Glad you like it! Have fun with it.
Wow, thanks Kevin
Will do.
Take care.
This is a wonderful tutorial. Thank you!
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
Awesome lesson!
Thanks and thank you for watching!
Really delighted I found this, thank you.

Awesome video! I love the simplicity of it. I started out on your "I'll Fly Away" video and this is a perfect lesson to advance to.
Happy to help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Kevin.

Hi John. Thanks for tuning in and all the best to you.
Thank you 🙏 very good video waiting for the next 🙏🙏
You are welcome. See you soon!
Really appreciate the lessons thank you.
Glad you like them!
Sounds fabulous ---do you have any TAB to practise Travis picking technique?
Thanks. I can make a not. I currently offer tabs for all of my lessons inside our membership.
Really prefer Fingerstyle for playing Guitar. Many thanks Kevin. Vicky and Maggie Mae.
You are welcome
Great. Your shirt reminds me. Imagine would be a good song..!!
Thanks. And here is that amazing Lennon song th-cam.com/video/ZrC-Xu-SC-U/w-d-xo.html
Kevin
I like your lesson. Thanks.
For some reason I find it easier and natural for me to do a two finger thumb and index Travis picking. Will that give me the same sound as the three finger method you're doing? Do you have a two finger lesson?
Again thank you
It can. Just have to move your fingers more because your index finger plays different notes too. If it sounds good it is good. :). I don’t have a lesson on that yet.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support! We appreciate it
6342 for G 5342 for C I am 72 and just recently got a Yamaha . Am retired.
Hey Kevin, I've watched Merle pick and like John prine. It looks like they only use their Thumb and index. Can you have a look at this.
You are right. I find that way a little more advanced. This is more of a beginner lesson. Good place to start. Have another Travis picking lesson in the works that sounds more Prine.
@Relaxandlearnguitar Ha! I'm just trying to get into a bit of picn and thumb n index seems so much in the KISS that I like for me. (Keep it simple Stupid) system that I rely on!
Why do half the video teach the bass alternating differently? The other half teach 5,4,6,4 for a C etc instead of 5,4,5,4 Which way is correct?
Both are correct. The alternating bass is for folks further along.
Some teachers do 5243
You do 5342
Does this matter? Will I not get confused later on?
Both are correct. There are different patterns. Travis picking is when you alternate those bass strings with the high strings.
Hi Kevin, Vicky and Maggie May. Love this fingerstyle BUT........Aaaaaaaargh 😵💫🥴😂
A little each day…..
@@Relaxandlearnguitar 😂🤣😂
Try practicing the patterns in front of the 📺 😊
@blueser100 Thanks Blueser 😊
Right there with you Rosie lol
What does the thumb play on a D chord?
Alternates 4 and 3

What is the pattern for a D chord?
Strings 4 3 2 1. A little tight.
Would 4231 (D) not follow the 6342 (G) and 5342 (C) logic? Humbly asking. Love your tutorials Kevin. José
@@joserosenberg903 yep. Sorry about that. It is 4 2 3 1. Thanks for the catch :)
