Hundred percent 👍... I've only started to teach myself since last lockdown and the guess work involved in trying to figure out where to position my fingers was definitely the most frustrating part. I will be returning to this channels videos again for future practice 😁
I totally agree with you on this point. Whilst I've taken good advice from around the internet on many aspects of finger picking, I'd not heard the definition of seeing a triangle between the fingers and thumb. Excellent advice and shown from the correct perspective to understand too. Bravo.
Inspired me I was informed yesterday that I'll probably check out between 2 ~ 6 months thanks to kidney cancer After watching the complete video 📹 I just set a goal for myself to be able to correctly play this at speed on video for my family in 3 different sets 6 string guitar 12 string guitar 11 string lute Amazing lesson 👏 thanks
@@salmonella7993 That is just awful. This wretched cancer is everywhere. We have had a similar robbery in our family. It feels like a nail in my own coffin. Surreal. Unable to fully accept it. So sorry. God's strength be with you.
you are the first person online that knows the right way how to teach!... you just understand the people in front of you, by making an extra effort and showing a different camera angles, explaining every little move!... I already know how to play this one, but very impressed of your method!... THANK YOU!!!
THE BEST yet for a total beginner never picking up a guitar. The angle and repeats, the rest on UA-cam says beginner but they are all rock stars, 800 mph can’t even understand.thank you for this.
What an excellent guitar lesson - close up camera angles I've never seen before and play along speeds from slow to fast, beginning to end, and all with a metronome background - fantastic Tristan, thankyou so much.
Great camera angles .. everything is super clear to understand.. Although I play . Several styles . And always favored Bluegrass. I recently came back to Bluegrass a d at the age of 65 , learned how to flatpick. But never properly learned the Merle Travis roll .. Now at 66 ..I finally will . Never too old to learn Folks .
I'm now 79 (Imperial, not Metric) years old and still going strong with a dozen or so harmonicas ("Blues harps"), 16 tinwhisles, 3 native American flutes, one Peruvian "Quena", 5 guitars, 2 violins (which magically become "Fiddles" when I play them barefooted), and two keyboards. There's probably more instruments - but at 79, who cannot forgive me for a receding memory? Oh, I just subbed - the publisher gave me no choice whatsoever.
How incredibly smart to use that camera angle!!! That is so very helpful! I’ve always had a hard time Travis picking. I believe I’ll be able to get it now. You Sir, are an outstanding teacher, thank you so very much! 😎👍🎸
Thanks so much. I’ve been working on Travis Picking for about a year now. This really is a simple, but effective song to do Travis Picking. I had tremors in both hands, but I had a new procedure called focused ultrasound which seared a specific point in the brain and now my left hand is tremor free and I can deal with the right hand so I’m able to play again. This song is great therapy.
Love how you break this down! And… you let your students forgive themselves if they aren’t ready for tempo - so it’s the slow steady progress that gives confidence and ‘perfect’ practice and not get sloppy!!😅 Thank you!!❤
Teaching is a skill, it's not about how much information is being given but how much is being understood. This explains why there are so many teachers but only a few skilled unique teachers. Thank you sir for being inspiring and helping others to learn about one of the musical legends.
One of the best guitar lessons I have ever followed. Time well spent. You have a gift for teaching. Thank you! I love how you said something to the effect we are on this together.
Hi thank you, you’ve made my day. I woke up and accidentally YT showed me your tutorial. It was really fun and it was super simple to follow your awesome instructions. Everyone shou follow you how to properly make finger picking tutorials. 6 hours later am on 192bpm. Thank you sir 👍🙏
Thanks much Tristan.... Your teaching method and the angled video to show all is just Great... And Thank you for taking the time and patience to help us beginners.... I hope you will continue to produce videos to help others, like myself, get started into Travis Picking... Thanks again...
Well, this will keep me busy for the next year. Great video, I've been looking this up and yours is the only one that shows clearly the strings and angle of the fingers.
Your right hand is my left hand and your left hand is my right hand! Fretting hand and plucking hand!!!thanks for the lesson it’s a great lesson and your playing is great!!!
Wow,great lesson. Not just the clear progression, but also really well thought out camera angles. Refreshing to see a lesson where the focus is entirely on the guitar lesson and less on self promotion. New fan right here!
I’ve been playing for 30 years and never properly learned this song. It took two full days just to the beginning u we’re demonstrating! Great great video on the subject!! Ty for your efforts and sharing!!!!
Absolute best youtube tutorial for guitar that I've seen .. thanks so much for taking the time to share this.... It may take me years to perfect it, but you've given me the map.
New subscriber here! At last a teacher that teaches picking the way it should be. Even an old git like me can now learn. Excellent lesson and tune choice.
Hello Around!!!! Applause and more applause!!!! Your video lessons are excellent. Congratulations here from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thank you one more time. ❤❤❤❤
That was wonderful! I just started trying to learn the guitar about three weeks ago (I’m 63). The finger pattern you demonstrated seems easy to me but I’m thinking it’s because I took banjo lessons for a year when I was 20 so holding my hand the way you showed must have been imprinted on my 20 year old brain and is still stuck in there somewhere (in my now, old brain). - I love the way you filmed this so one can see exactly what you’re doing. I wish you would do more videos. Hint,hint…the Ah Ha song, “Take on me”.
Hey . I just turned my phone on and here you were working on one of my favorite songs . I bought a classical guitar about six months ago and have been working hard on these hard cords and is frustrating . But working with your simple great meted was really refreshing . I was playing along with you and this is my forth American song that I am plying specially with classical guitar sound interesting thank you so much and I am looking forward to do more work with you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm a 77-year-old disabled Vet and have been playing on and off for years. But my left hand can't play like it used to. I love to pick and taught myself very early on before the internet or computers were the norms. I use to listen to Bob Dylan and such and that's how I learned. I love this Travis picking and you teach it so great and so easy to follow, thanks, JIm
Thank you for this. I have been practicing along with the video every day for almost a month. I still have to get faster, but I have made a lot of progress. Your teaching method is the best I have seen on UA-cam.
Excellent lesson! Really great, organized teaching style with clear, careful development that we can follow and learn from. Super camera angle on the strings. Thank you so much. I hope you are continuing to create lessons for us.
Tristan spot on with your camera angles, finger positions, and use of the metronome to help gage when learned all the steps to sound really good. Very patient method of explaining and helping your students build confidence.
Brilliant to see the angle showing which strings to play.I never catch it when the teacher says either finger names or the strings New subscriber ! Thank you.
Finally a guitar teacher with the correct camera angles to easily see what fingers are hitting which strings.
Glad the view is working!
@@TristanBellerive it is

Why isn’t everyone teaching like this? Thank you so much! So much easier to follow ❤
You are welcome!
because not everybody is beginner....anyway...well done, for beginners
Inspired me

Amazing lesson 👏 thanks
You are so very welcome ❤ Your comment hit me in the heart. Prayers to you 🙏

Wow! Thank you very much for your comment. Your words inspire me to create more of these videos. Thanks again
@TristanBellerive Yes, by all means, please create more videos! I have tried to follow other teachers on UA-cam, but yours are easier and the best!
And real in person teachers. Making progress Both ways!! Working on art and practice turning to speaking stories through song. Thank You.
Thank you so much! I can't understand why more people can't present like this! So much easier to understand for a beginner.
This is the best lesson on Travis Picking I've seen on UA-cam.
Thank you for the very kind words!
Dust In the Wind is one of the all time iconic songs and listening to you play it at different speeds (or whatever it’s called) was most enjoyable.
❤ best guitar teacher I have ever seen
Mate, your camera angle and explanation is Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for your efforts 👌
