Travis Picking Guitar Lesson for Beginners!
???? Check out my Fingerstyle Guitar Course for a deeper dive into fingerpicking techniques: https://goodguitarist.com/fingerpicking-mastery/

In this lesson, I'll share my magic formula for mastering any Travis picking pattern over any chord progression. Travis picking relies heavily on the thumb, laying a strong foundation with an alternating bass pattern. I'll walk you through the basic chord shapes and show you how to apply this technique seamlessly.

We'll cover:

- Thumb placement for each of the basic chords
- Tips to get comfortable with the bass notes
- 2-step method to create common picking patterns

By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to confidently Travis pick over any chord progression.
