My First Try At Beginner Travis Picking (At last I hope it's a form of Travis Picking!)

[@daveanderson8214]

You need to use the double thumb technique so when you are picking the thumb alternates on the 6th string and the 4th string generally. That combination will vary slightly depending on which chord you are playing. Keep it up, you will get there. I taught myself the picking off a Joan Baez record in the 60's. I turned the record player down to 16 so I could clearly hear the notes. Took me forever as there were no books out at that time that showed the picking sequence either my the musical staff or by tablature. The sequence is a total of 6 notes with an extra note between the first note and the 6th note. This will all make sense when you get farther along. I belived there are some youtube videos that show how to do the picking. Good luck
