I did a few videos and wasnt sure how they'd be received. Thanks for this comment. It's honestly inspired me to do more. Back on the saddle. Appreciated, Solomon!
I am already pretty adept at Travis picking, but I like it when you tell me how 'awesome' I am. Now if only I could convince everyone else of that fact! 🤠
haha, Well i believe it, RW! Explore the rest of the channel, I've got all sorts of advanced fingerpicking tunes I dive deep into. MJH, Townes, Doc, etc.
Thanks, Pepe. The newer videos are of much better quality but am still very proud of this old content. Keep picking! Please sub and like! And what song next? Where you pickin' from?
Its nice to get a good laugh while simultaneously learn. Also, the you surprised me at the end with your voice when you played a short demo of the song - I didn't think anybody who has reached your level of madness would be able to sing, but you didn't just sing, you sang well! Well done.
haha, thanks Jeff. I appreciated and laughed at this comment. I have spent a stupid amount of my life playing guitar and singing as well. The singing came later but I still got pretty decent at it. What song can i teach you next!?
@@MikesMusicMethod If you're asking, there are two Gordon Lightfoot songs I would like to learn. For Lovin' Me and / or The Last Time I Saw Her. I saw him in concert a few years back and noticed every song he played was with a capo on the 2nd fret.
Love it. I am enjoying your fingerpicking lessons so much. Usually have done Marty and Justin, but you are becoming my new favorite. I have a request sometime, Tennessee Flattop, Rosanne Cash. Always enjoyed that lick.
Thanks, Tomy. Much appreciated! Please sub and consider a contribution to help me make more and spread the pickin' knowledge. Any songs you'd like to see done next?
@@Tomy_Yon I've have to double check on my Kansas but it's darn similiar to the point where not many would notice you faking it. ;) As you improve you'll start to realize how many patterns are either the same, or simply moved to a different string, or reverse order, etc...Only so much variability. Unless your John Hurt, or Doc or something. Good luck! Any song or topics I should cover next?
You are my favorite. Thank you for making this video. I promise I will give you some of my money when my kids stop taking all of it. Anyway, wish I lived in your neck of the woods, because I would totatally take lessons from you. Keep up the great videos!!
Andrew, haha. Yes, my 3 kids are pretty good at that too. Hey, i have a ton of students who do it on Zoom, so let me know. I know it's not for everyone. where ya from? and lmk how the picking goes on this one!
hey, thanks! I slowed down making these thinking they'd just end up lost in the ether, so it's great to get words of encouragement! Anything in specific you'd like to see me do a video on?
Still coming back to these lessons, I really love learning the guitar this way. I'm trying to get this finger picking pattern to work with dreams by the cranberries, my gut tells me that there's a different beat to make that song work tho...
yes, fingerpicking is a great joy! Glad these are helpful. Yeah, Dreams is a bit different. I just listened. It's not really fingerpicked. but that's the beauty of music. It's an art form. And you can reinterpret a song however the heaven you want!
ha. good question. I'll have to pay some attention but there's at least a good handful of live tracks of Jerry doing Travis style. I'm not a deadhead so I'm not the guy to ask though.
Oh sweet man! I learnt this years ago but probably incorrectly - one of my fav tunes of all time.. perhaps a little more basic than the pancho and lefty tutorial, but interesting thoughts just the same :)

Working with the know-how and gear I had at the time. My latest videos have improved greatly in quality! Check 'em out. Thanks for the feedback though, Ivan. I'm sure even my latest videos could be improved so if you have any feedback please share.

Down the rabbit hole I go!!
38 views but still doin a better job teaching than any other video. long live the macbook camera booth. keep it up dude.
I did a few videos and wasnt sure how they'd be received. Thanks for this comment. It's honestly inspired me to do more. Back on the saddle. Appreciated, Solomon!
Haha. Yes. I finally got a better camera!
Thank you. You are hilarious. And a good teacher.
thanks Aleson! Sub and let me know what other songs you'd like me to do.
Just now finding this video. Very helpful! Keep them up!
thanks, much appreciated. No, i dont. I'm not good with tab software, and I feel like me handwriting out tab doesnt get across what these videos do.

Thanks, Tim! Much appreciated. I'll keep trying to drop some good content. Tennessee Flattop...I dont know it! Let me listen.
This is fantastic
thanks, man. please subscribe and let me know what other tunes you'd like broken down.
Okay, you are the most funny music teacher here on YT and your lessons are also very useful. Good job. 😃👍
Thanks, Tomy. Much appreciated! Please sub and consider a contribution to help me make more and spread the pickin' knowledge. Any songs you'd like to see done next?
@@MikesMusicMethod I surely will. Btw, are these other picking patterns as Dust in the Wind?

@@MikesMusicMethod Hey, mister Mike, I do like Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor and John Denver. :)
@@Tomy_Yon What SnG song should i do next? And yes, i need to do a James Taylor song. Any suggestions.
You are my favorite. Thank you for making this video. I promise I will give you some of my money when my kids stop taking all of it. Anyway, wish I lived in your neck of the woods, because I would totatally take lessons from you. Keep up the great videos!!

@@MikesMusicMethod just keep doin what you do :)
Love your videos men, thanks hihi
Glad you like em. How's the playing coming along?
1:24 that make my day hahahaha u are trully awesome!!
haha, oh man. There was a certain charm in these early videos! I'm still goofy, but it's always evolving, for better and worse!
Damn this is a crazy travis picking lesson.
haha, thanks.
Still coming back to these lessons, I really love learning the guitar this way. I'm trying to get this finger picking pattern to work with dreams by the cranberries, my gut tells me that there's a different beat to make that song work tho...

Man you are FUN FUN FUN
Ur funny Mike. Keep going!
Thanks, have been since this video and will do!
Super cool and helpful, man! Now to scour for Grateful Dead tunes which use Travis Picking.. if any.
ha. good question. I'll have to pay some attention but there's at least a good handful of live tracks of Jerry doing Travis style. I'm not a deadhead so I'm not the guy to ask though.
Oh sweet man! I learnt this years ago but probably incorrectly - one of my fav tunes of all time.. perhaps a little more basic than the pancho and lefty tutorial, but interesting thoughts just the same :)
nah, this one is great. kind of simple, but not really. always something you can improve with speed and accuracy and fill in with more frills!
i love u, mike
awww. thanks

I got a bit of a "rest of the f***ing owl" effect at 6:56
hahaha. that's hilarious. But your fault not mine. It's an INTRO Travis picking lesson. Read the "rest of the ducking title" ;)
u r fucking cool bra
haha, the coolest. glad you're enjoying the content. Let me know how else I can help.
i dont hear the gutar at all, just yor voice.
