Such a beautiful song . When I play it at open mics, I strum it and use a capo to fit my voice range.

if it wasn't for you jon, i'd never have learnt to play the guitar, thank you.

You are the man, my friend. So, so cool to see this song here, and I don't know if I'll ever be good enough to master the picking pattern, but I'm sure going to give it a try (probably for at least few thousand hours anyway). Thank you so much!

Love this song and Just learning travis picking. when I get to the point where I want to play like the recording and Im adding in more melody. is the travis picking pattern the same and I just add the notes in with my fretting hand? im referring to the part in the video that starts about 6:30. love your videos thanks!!

Hi Thomas, the picking I show at 3:12 is an important step towards mastering the picking at 6:30. The more confident you are with the 3:12 picking, the easier the 6:30 picking will be !!

Please can I ask... If you go from Em to Bm do you use the index finger first? Then middle, then pinky and ring? What is the best sequence of fingers? This is still a bit of a struggle for me... Thanks!

Song Bike - jkehew1 already practicing barre chords for 1 year. It is just still between open chords and barre chords that I have difficulties. Is it always first the index finger? E.g. D to B minor, you always do first start with the index, right? My left hand is more automatically with first pinky and ring, then middle, then index.... :S Thank you for anwering me. I really do appreciate that!

Did we get the fingerpicking for the chorus? If it's the same, I don't think we got one for the D chord?

Hi Marbles, I believe the picking is the same. I would use the C finger-picking pattern for the D, just to keep things simple. Hope that helps!

Hi, can you please describe what you do with the d chord? I'm blind so can't see what you are doing and can't make it out by ear alone. Thank you.

Hi Louis, I really respect your efforts. The guitar is tough enough without the extra challenge you face. There's a lot of interesting guitar-playing that goes along with this terrific tune. I'm not sure how to describe it in words, but you should know that there are several chords beyond the D chord, such as B minor. I wish I could send a great guitar teacher right to your front door becuase that would be the best way to learn it - with a teacher right there with you. I wish you all the best, Jonathan

Song Bike - jkehew1, hi, thank you for replying. I know there are other chords in the song. For chords rooted on the 6th string, the thumb hits 6 and 4. For chords rooted on the 5th string, the thumb hits 5 and 4. What do you do for chords rooted on the 4th string? That part of the alternating bass is where my understanding falls short..

@jkehew1

4 жыл бұрын

You can alternate with your thumb between the 4th and 3rd strings or between the 5th and the 4th. Personal preference!

Ok, you are driving me crazy.... the final advanced picking pattern starting off with Em you have th pinch 6 and 2 open string then 4th string 2nd fret and then 3rd string second fret ? Is that correct

You start by giving the Em and C chords, but then refer to them as Em and G. And when you show the strumming pattern at 4:30, you don't really give a lot of detail. After playing the first Em and C(?), I feel a bit lost. Is there anyway to clarify things?

@jkehew1

Hi Johnny, I watched the video again, to better understand your question. I think if you watch it again, it will help. I use the Em and C chords as examples to illustrate the general finger-picking pattern used in the song.

Sorry if my question wasn't clear. I guess that's what I was asking. Is the pattern the same on every chord?

The patter on C is repeated on what chords? The pattern for E is used on what chords?

What about the chorus?

Hi Daniel, thanks for watching. I reviewed the video and I see where I provided the chorus chords and an appropriate finger-picking pattern for the song, including the chorus. I think that's all you'll need! It's the intro that is the most "spohisticated" part, if I remember correctly.
