    4:10 is when instruction really starts
    5:20 Play-along on chords G, ‘Em, C, D11 (2 rounds each chord)
    5:55 what playing it faster sounds like
    6:25 Travis Picking Technique in combination with a melody

    I've seen several approaches to the Travis Pattern on Uke, but yours is by far the best. Thank you. 👍🏻

    I started learning it your way and then ended up switching and using my middle finger for the A string….I’m happy with it like that, feels more comfortable!

    I really like the way you don't just switch all the way into a chord between cycles of the pattern, it appears as though you plant 1 finger then the rest on the next cycle. I could be imagining things, but that seems like a fun way to keep your picking flow without rushing your left hand.

    Thank you so much for showing not only how to do the picking pattern, but also some fun ways to use it in songs!! I'm not very creative when it comes to playing around with picking/strumming patterns and found that so nice :) Great tutorial!!

    2:00. So Marco, I love your videos, and I have learned a lot. But I do have a question about why, with the Travis method, you are only using the index finger? When I first started to finger pick using a 4132 string progression it was natural for me to only use my thumb and forefinger. I have practiced my way out of that to include the middle and ring fingers when picking. Now, when trying to learn the Travis picking method, I keep wanting to use my middle finger on the number one string. So I find myself continuously going back-and-forth between doing it both ways. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to only using the index finger? Thanks for the videos and keep them coming!

    As said before many times here this again was a great lesson. I already know the Travis Picking but how much the melody adds to this sound is new to me. And these are the things that make you different from many other teachers. Thank you so much, Marco. By the way, is this out of your fingerstyle course?

    • @thewabisabicollective7170
      @thewabisabicollective7170 3 роки тому

      Try to keep your uke nearby and throughout the day (if possible) pick up for even 5-10 minutes at a time. With small, multiple practices instead of one long session you'll notice each time you'll be a little better.

    hi Marco, I have been trying to learn this picking pattern for a while now, but no matter how fast I go, it doesn't not sound like the demo that you played. I noticed tyat there are small pauses in your demo, but I am not sure how they work. I'd love to know how you did it. I looked at other UA-cam videos, but their tutorials do not sound like your demo. i dont think i have my timing right. thank you for this great video.

      Question: if I play your melodies in some youtube videos (doing a 30-day ukulele & guitar challenge :), does it mean the videos will be banned by youtube? Is there a way to get a license? My channel is very new but I plan to keep learning from your channels :) and also got a guitar course.

      There are a lot of different options. You can strum with the thumb but when it comes to Fingerstyle I would use thumb index and middle finger :)
