Cracking the code of folk guitar: 4 levels of Travis Picking revealed 🧐

Описание: Cracking the code of folk guitar: 4 levels of Travis Picking revealed 🧐

The beauty of Travis Picking is playing lead melodies while you finger pick chords.

It gives that iconic sound of a one person band and damn is it beautiful. 💔

These four levels of Travis Picking aren’t universally excepted law, but it’s how I teach my students.

1️⃣ Static thumb + index finger

2️⃣ Alternating thumb + index finger

3️⃣ Alternating thumb + index/ring fingers

4️⃣ Alternating thumb + index/ring fingers + lead melody

Learning this process for myself took forever when I first discovered this sound.

I heard artists like John Prine or Bob Dylan and thought “How the hell do they make it sound like three guitars?”

Since then, I’ve distilled it down into my own step-by-step process that I use to teach to my students.

In a matter of weeks, people painlessly go from no finger picking experience to Step 4.

For the first time ever, I’ll teach this process as part of a bigger course that’ll help you master the 5 Pillars of Folk guitar.

I’m thrilled to tell you that I have an upcoming course for you to learn how to specialize in folk guitar so that you can go from an un-specialized beginner to a highly-stylized folk guitarist.

DM or comment the word COURSE to get your name on the waitlist to be the first to know when I open and take advantage of the bonuses when you enroll.

Are you already finger picking at one of the levels? Let me know where you’re stuck.
