This is one of the most common guitar fingerstyle patterns to learn, and features in many classic songs such as Dust In The Wind by Kansas. Funny enough the guitar part for this song was written originally as a guitar fingerpicking exercise – so makes for not just an awesome song but also a good technique builder too. What this episode covers: How to build up the Travis picking pattern step by step How to adapt the picking pattern to different chords and to change smoothly from chord to chord Learning this pattern will enable you to play many acoustic fingerstyle songs so I very much hope you enjoy learning this one and that you find this video useful. Whilst easy to play once your hands have worked out what to do, this pattern is not very intuitive to learn.
