    💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
    I've been wanting to make this lesson for a while.
    In this video I teach the top four fingerpicking guitar patterns in the travis picking style.
    If you're interested in fingerpicking or travis picking, then these are the essential right hand patterns to learn.
    Here's what's in this lesson:
    • I describe and show the tabs for all 4 fingerpicking guitar patterns
    • I play each pattern through a common chord progression (slow, then fast)
    • I demonstrate each pattern in the context of a song
    • And I even sneak in a guitar solo (couldn't help it!)
    I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful.
    Let me know in the comments which of the fingerpicking guitar patterns you like best :)
    Thanks! :)

      This was a WONDERFUL lesson!! ❤
      I have been working on the pinch pattern now for months...but I know I'm doing it wrong. I have to change my technique...You're really the ONLY person on here that does such a fine job of showing! It could do with a little bit more zoom in though...and I really didn't understand what you meant re:.fingering the chord? Don't play the 3 fingered G, only 1 finger? And don't that with every chord? What about like the F 4-fingered Barre, or B or F#m barre?

    I learned those picking patters when I was 14 and I can still play with them today, even after forty years of ignoring the guitar. However, now I practice two hrs every day and I’m so happy that those picking patterns made it into my long term muscle memory. Small victory in the war to become better player. Thanks!

    Travis picking was the first thing I learned when I started playing guitar. That said, I learned it using the thumb and three fingers, so I had to adjust my picking for some songs by leaving out the third finger. "4+20", for instance, is played with only the thumb and two fingers, while ""Guinevere" uses three fingers and thumb. This video is well done and explains it very well. Thanks.

    @davidappleby7214 Před rokem +8

    Good stuff, man! I watch a lot of youtube, and I see a lot of guitar lessons, and I appreciate your approach. I really think the pinch pattern is the most versatile, although the descending arpeggio works well for gospel and hymns, which I play a fair amount of, as I play mainly at church. I like to use a combination of finger picking for intros, strumming for the main body of most of the contemporary worship songs that I play, and then sometimes a slower picking as a coda or outro to give the songs a more contemplative feel. I actually end up mostly playing a hybrid picking pattern, maintaining the root as the bass, outlining the chord with my other three fingers and incorporating elements of the melody. I'm always striving to get better, so I subscribed today. I see you've got a lot of great stuff! Oh, and thanks!

    I enjoyed your lesson. I like the "Inside-Out" pattern. First lesson on CZcams that I could actually sit through and not feel like I'm switching off. At the end of it I actually got it and know I will confidently practice them. You're really good and clear and bearable to watch. Some on CZcams are just too much. Thank you. May God bless you.

    Great lesson, Jared. I taught myself the basic pinch pattern back in 1965 from listening to PP&M records and developed the rest on my own over the years. I've been asked to teach my style but I never really broke things down, I just play, often using a mixture of all 4 patterns and more, with variations, within the same chord progression. Your lesson is a great starting place that I will pass on to friends who want to learn Travis Picking.
    A few years ago I tried to teach myself Skruggs style 5-string banjo. At first the rolls drove me nuts because they have a very different rhythmic feel and are kind of backwards from guitar (55+ years of muscle memory will do that to you). Although I never finished learning banjo, I incorporated aspects of banjo rolls into my Travis Picking to great effect.

    • @ilblues
      @ilblues Před rokem

      Same story for me - just a couple years later than you started. I vividly remember sitting in the open door way of my cabin playing the pattern over and over until it became natural. I don't remember another thing about church camp that year. The PP&M song that hooked me on folk style acoustic guitar was the Ballad of Spring Hill on the LP A Song Will Rise. Bob Dylan's Free Wheelin' album was also a huge inspiration.

Have yet to play with the last two. Subscribed. Thanks again.

    I like the idea and the way you teach reading music I want to your channel you’re a good teacher we need more people like you on CZcams that are teachers and not showoffs I’ve been playing for many years since 1974 I’ve had my ups and downs with a guitar until I learn how to read music I am a finger style guitarist because I can’t sing so I play all the harmony and all the melody I guess my family thinks I’m a natural at it sometimes I don’t think so I still have troubles like every other guitarist music never ends always something new to learn thanks for your video you’re a beautiful teacher😁👍🏼😎🎸🎼🎶👍🏼

I gotta keep telling myself: Keep it simple, stupid. This lesson really was a huge help. My new favorite--the 3rd, pinch pattern. I always love your videos. Don't know why I haven't subscribed, but I just did. Bless you, man!

    My ultimate goal has been to play Fingerstyle guitar and to understand what I was doing beyond just memorizing songs so that I might be able to play any song I like with an appropriate Fingerstyle motif. I like all four patterns you've demonstrated in this video, favor the 2nd & 3rd patterns (pattern 3 minus that 8th note ~ the bounce). Thank for this lesson & the printed materials 👍🏾👍🏼🎯🤝🏼.
