Great explanation here especially for us blind players who can't check out the tabs. The explanation on the Travis picking style made a lot more sense to me than other videos I've checked out. Take care.

The explanation of Travis Picking was just what I needed - showed me I was so close and just not quite right on my timings - and a lot of the rest was stuff that I’ve been doing for strums over the last 4 decades….. but this put the various bits of my knowledge together…. A good video!

Thank you for breaking this down. Your visually, verbally and musically supportive lesson was challenging, and then, as I practiced, a blast. I am making this part of my practice routine and feel I have made some advances in both skill and confidence. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

The C and D sections are a little bit more tricky to get down perfectly. The Travis pattern is a breeze it’s those tricky embellishments that are taking more time .
steady as she goes nice and slow !!! Great video,
Love this vibe and Paul Simon. The G section I already knew from a Paul Simon song, lol.
