🎸ABOUT THIS LESSON
Hey guys, welcome to another guitar lesson.

Today I want to show you how to take the Merle Travis picking approach, change it up a bit, and make it super melodic.

When we pluck the strings using the Merle Travis style, the thumb will be plucking on two bass notes in a steady rhythm.

Then, we can add chords on top of that bass line.

Now, Merle Travis was a Country player, so he used this technique to play Country songs mainly. His way of plucking the strings was unique; in fact, he would only pluck the top strings with the index finger.

We are going to use the Travis picking with thumb and index and the middle and ring finger.

You don't have to play the chords as fast as the instrumental I played at the beginning of the video. I played the chords that fast to give it a lovely groove, but you can use this chord progression and plucking as an exercise to improve your finger-picking technique.

We have a lot to cover, so let's just right in.

🎸FAQs:
Are you a full-time YouTuber?
Yes, I am on YouTube as Marco Cirillo, and I promote my videos on my website BlitzGuitar.com. All the courses I post online are available on my Patreon page https://bit.ly/2rMAPYG

How long have you been playing guitar?
I started playing guitar when I was 10 years old, so it has been more than 20 years. I have always loved fingerpicking guitar, so this is why all my tutorials focus on this topic.

Why are you on Patreon?
Patreon is great! It allows creators to make money doing what they love. On Patreon, I can share my guitar lessons with my Patrons and get paid for it. As a creator, I feel like Patreon really made a massive difference in the way I share my content :)

Do you do concerts?
I used to do a lot of gigs in the past. London is a great place to play music almost every day. When my YouTube channel started to grow, I decided to go all-in and try to help as many people as possible learning guitar. This goal takes all the time I have available, so I am not doing any gig or concert atm.
