Travis Picking is THE ultimate finger picking pattern. It's possibly the ONLY fingerpicking pattern you need to sound good. ✅ Support Lauren's Channel by Purchasing her FINGERPICKING 101: www.laurenbatemanguitar.com/fingerpicking101 - In this guitar lesson, I'm going to show you how to Travis Pick on guitar.

Travis picking was invented by Merle Travis and while there are some variations to this pattern, I'm going to show you how my guitar teacher taught me how to play the Travis Picking pattern on guitar many years ago.

Travis picking is one of the most versatile fingerpicking patterns you can learn to play on the guitar. It can be used on songs like Dust in the Wind, Landslide, Blackbird and so many more great classics. It's also a great way to folk up a guitar.

Hi Lauren! I'm from Portugal and I'm 48. I always wanted to learn to play and I even bought a guitar 30 years ago but I never really had the time or patience to learn so I gave up. Two years ago I had some health issues and I had to stop working. I decided to start learning to play because it's good for the memory and so I bought a new guitar, some books to learn some theory and of course I watch YT videos. I must say you are my favourite and in a year I learned to play some songs, strumming and fingerstyle quiet well and I love it! So thank you for that and I will continue to follow your lessons because it really became an addiction 😁❤ 11:16

Excellent lesson, Lauren! Thank you. I have just been working on Travis picking for about 3 weeks. “Landslide” was the first song I learned.

I discovered you and your lesson plan two years ago in June; when I purchased your lesson plan. At the time you had a special on some other lessons including “finger picking” which I purchased. I ventured into it about a month ago-actually watching your videos in the lesson. This video “Ultimate Picking Pattern” has inspired me again! I couldn’t quite grasp the inside/outside strings concept you talk about until this video. Thanks, in my book you ARE the greatest!
