💬 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?
Thanks sir

Helpful
Thank you!!
Lot of People play very beautiful guitar solos and songs.. but non ever explained to a new comer, but you did. that means a lot when someone do really nice thing with a real intention. appreciate your work. thank you.
I absolutely LOVE that you use an actual song as context for your lessons.
This adds purpose toward a real goal, and not just plunking chords without direction. Subscribed.
Hi I'm from USA and México, 67 years old learning guitar, love your lesson thank you.
Finally, somebody who shows you everything when teaching and goes slow! Thank you!
I've played for decades, but never finger picking. This video just popped up. It's time!! Thanks.
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!
Hi from the UK. I'm 58 and just picked up a guitar for the first time. Thanks for the inspiration
AS a late starter (65!) and a retired elementary teacher, I appreciate a well laid out scope and sequence. Thanks for your brilliant breakdown. Just what I was looking for.
I am a late starter too. Better lat than never!
Pattern 1-2:08; 2-6:13; 3-7:38; 4-11:23. 10:12 progression Thank you very much, Jared. Excellent teaching.
0:00 Introduction
2:08 Pattern 1
6:13 Pattern 2
7:38 Pattern 3
11:23 Pattern 4
My friend Jack, taught me one of the three, back in 1971. To say we mis-used that pattern would be an understatement. 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.
You're the absolute best teacher...It makes such a difference providing the tab and keeping it simple. I really do appreciate it!
I enjoyed your lesson. I like the "Inside-Out" pattern. First lesson on UA-cam 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 UA-cam are just too much. Thank you. May God bless you.
I had a 1966 000-18.... until I got into Bluegrass... then it was a D 18... this is a really good demonstration!🎵🎶🎵
Awesome, thanks Stephen! :)
Another wonderful lesson. Simple, doesn't attempt too much in one session, short enough that we can view it over and over.
Glad you liked it, thanks so much! ::
Fun fact, your video is in Griffpatch's Quick and Fun Scratch Tutorials! Its completely unrelated and I think it was an accident but its still a fun fact!
Excellent teaching! Thanks for the introduction to Travis style.
I've been trying to master these patterns forever. True understanding come from your head. This video finally cracks my thick scull.
I must watch all of these instructional videos. His diction is so clear and explanations are easy to understand. Bravo!
Great lesson. Concise, interesting, and thorough.
Very clear, concise, and musical. Excellent lesson thank you!
Just some absolutely beautiful soft picking. What a great instrument
A super demonstration! Thanks!
Thanks Jared - Been wanting to get into this for ages. Your lesson has helped me break the ice. Here I go.
I tried learning fingerstyle to no avail, but your video gave me a break through. You really broke it down and made it easy. Thanks so much.
Hey, Jared. I've been struggling for days to come up with a fingerpicking riff for a song I'm writing and this lesson was an epiphany. Thanks for helping me come back to the basics. 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!
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!
just started using your Chords with Color chart and it's amazing. I have never seen this type of resource and it's going to have a HUGE impact on my playing. Thanks!!!
Thank you very much Jared. A superb video and your chord chart is excellent and much appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Great lesson, congrats bro..great dynamics and teaching!
I'm going to learn all 4 patterns, thank you for posting !!
I just want to thank you for this great tutorial. Wow, well done. Thank you, once again
I must learn them all so starting with the first pattern. Thank you, Jared.
Thanks. Working on developing my finger picking patterns and your video was just what I needed. Working on inside outside first.
Descending arpeggio was my favourite, but I love them all. I knew basic Travis picking and will add all of this now. Thank you.
Finely!!, ive been looking for so long for someone who explains what youve actualy got to be doing, thanks sooo much!
Great chord chart - really useful thanks!
Nice presentation! The complex distilled to simplicity. I plan to share this with my adult guitar class here in northern WI. Thanks!😊
Beautiful video and super well described and examples, can’t wait to give it a go!
Thanks, Stuart! I hope you enjoy given them a try :) Cheers -Jared
This is the video where things are finally starting to click for me. Thank you so much!!! And, the Chords with Color chart is an amazing tool for changing a chord that sounds like it just needs something. My fav(s) are the inside/outside and the outside/inside. Have yet to play with the last two. Subscribed. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for the chart! It's awesome! Taking my playing to the next level. I liked and subscribed.
Thank you Jared finally somebody shows me exactly how to do fingerstyle picking yay appreciate you
Jared, thanks for making this video. Your a great teacher. I've been playing guitar for 3 years and am still learning. This lesson will help give me more more to learn.
Thank so much you are gifted. I will practice this.
Great lesson and as always you are great to follow and understand. This is really worth spending some time on the techniques, thanks for sharing Jared.
You're welcome, Stuart. Glad you liked this one, thanks! :) -Jared
Thanks for your great amount of help we all appreciate it 👍
Happy to help, thanks for watching! :)
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 👍🏾👍🏼🎯🤝🏼.
Thanks David! Glad you found this helpful. I have a few more fingerpicking lessons coming up over the new couple months too. I hope they all help with your ultimate goal. Cheers, -Jared
@@soundguitar Sir, did u use acoustic or classical guitar?
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.
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.
This video lifted me up and I am practicing with my guitar now . Great start to my day. Thanks for the video remain blessed bro
Love this finger picking pattern video. Thanks
This was great! My favorites were the pinch and the descending arpeggio, I will practice those.
Thanks it was concise and very clear.

Hellow, am from Papua New Guinea. I love finger picking on the guitar even though they laugh at me. I love your style of teaching the guitar playing.

Hi Jared - Eddie in the UK here ! Thanks for a truly great and really helpful video lesson. Keep 'em coming please !
Cool thanks I've played for years but never really mastered picking patterns. You have a nice calming voice too for teaching and singing. Learnt pinching principle thanks.
So grateful for you Maestro🙏🙌
I'm grateful for YOU :)

Jared I love your easy way you put the lesson across to me..
I am trying to learn Your style, it's going to take time,,
Thank you and stay safe.
Joe.
Excellent lesson, I thank you very much
My favorite pattern was the 4th one. The reason is simple; it's the only one I didn't know. I knew the other 3 and constantly play 2 of them. So I have to start using #2 and add #4. Thanks for this. 😄
I'm hooked..excellent lesson..thank you.
Glad you liked it, thanks Keith! :)
Awesome lesson
This was great. Thank you😊
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 UA-cam 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😁👍🏼😎🎸🎼🎶👍🏼
Your are a great teacher sir, love your chord chart they're beautifully arranged at one place 🔥🔥✨💕
Thanks for the download
Thank you! You've made it happen for me.
Great video, thanks very much.
Great little lesson
Thanks! :)
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL
Great stuff😀
After three days an hour a day of work, I' manage step 1,2,3 but still a lack of consistency, aspecially when I try to sing, but how great this lesson is !
It's also easier after a glass of beer ^^.
It's the third time I try to get the travis picking style and it's the first time, with this approach (step one first, then step tow, then step three) that I'm starting to feel it. The other two lessons started with step 3.
I found pattern 1 and 2 harder to switch between chords even if it's easier at first as there is no "wait", Pattern 3 it's so beautiful.
If you come from The Fingerstyle improvisation video and you are intermediate or beginner player, I strongly recommand to master this lesson first before, starting the improvisation part.
I think the thumb consistency with a certain mastery of the other finger variations is something we have to manage before thinking of improvising with this style.
Thanks again.
Superb video. Thanks, Jared, from England!
Love this one 🙏🙏
Hi Jared.Thanks for the lesson.👋👋👋
Great lesson. The pinch pattern goes best with the song. The descending arpeggio has more of a John Denver feel. Nice Tele solo. As a Bakersfield Sound freak, I really dug this.
Thank you for the download.
Great video!!!🏆👍🎶
Will be practicing last two.
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
