Travis picking guitar lesson - how to learn travis picking technique

In this week's guitar lesson I'll show you how to learn travis picking technique from scratch if this is entirely new for your picking hand.

This was inspired by a song request I had from a Skype student recently. The song requested was 'Just Breathe' by Pearl Jam and it's a great study in the travis picking style with alternating thumb bass notes and the fingers picking in between the thumb picks.

This is a very methodical approach gradually building up the fingerpicking patterns. I always insist upon using the metronome to ensure you keep good time and as a way to easily monitor your progression with each practice session.

Take your time at each stage and gradually build the speed until you reach the target tempo.

The biggest takeaway from this lesson is to be musical as you practise your picking technique (or indeed any technique). The important this is to repeat and repeat a picking pattern so it become instinctive. The best way to do this is to keep playing one particular travis picking pattern in the picking hand but change the chords or notes within the chord so you don't get bored!
