Hello friends,
Welcome back to Swiftlessons for another fingerstyle guitar tutorial. In today’s session, we’ll go beyond basic strumming patterns, and learn how to create a rich and complex musical statements using the classic travis picking technique. Made famous by the late-great Merle Travis, this fingerpicking approach entails using the thumb to perform a steady alternating bass-line as your free fingers weave in bright syncopated melodies.

???? Today’s Goals:

• Learn a basic country-blues travis pattern.
• Apply the pattern to 1.4.5 in C, played using a single dom7 chord shape.
• Master the criss-cross variation.
• Add flavorful embellishments such as palm muting, dynamics & syncopation.
