”For me, learning guitar as a kid was a fun, natural, and very gradual process. But the thing that really grabbed me was Travis picking. I had learned to change chords and strum and sing along folk songs with other people, and occasional bass runs and arpeggios, but when my teacher came in with this Travis tune that was it! How cool was it to keep a bass going and play the melody at the same time!

But it wasn’t until I was an adult many years later that I actually heard the music of Merle Travis after whom the style was named, and I realized that what he was doing was really quite different from the Travis picking I learned as a kid. So, what I’d like to do is give you an intro to Travis-style picking and also work in some of those cool little details, some of the things that he was doing to give it that Muhlenberg County authentic sound”

You’ll start the course with a quick primer during which Muriel will give you seven lessons that you can do to achieve a more genuine Travis picking technique: Muting the bass and “choking the strings” as Travis called it, Using the Thumbpick, Bracing the Pinky, Moving the Thumb in Little Circles, Hitting More Than One String on Beats 2 & 4, Bass Notes, Use of the Thumb on the Neck to Fret Notes and Play Bass Runs, Two Fingers are Enough, Syncopation, and Good Solid Beat.

Muriel will then guide you through 5 Travis Picking performance studies, progressing from basic to more advanced applications of the technique.
