  • Best fingerpicking lesson on the whole Internet, period. Believe me, I have seen them all, David Hamburger is a rare combination of a great player who is also great at teaching.
  • I agree with David Florez, one of the best fingerpicking lessons I've seen in a long time. Very clear and detailed, plus gives you something to use on other songs besides Freight Train. I'm not all that big on playing the blues, but some of the techniques here will be very useful for other genres so not limited to just blues.
  • Well I have been playing the 1st min over and over for an hour! Mesmerizing! ALl jokes aside I am so glad I watched this, I have relegated myself to Townes and Foley songs, this just blew the door wide open. I appreciate you taking the time and having the ability and gift to teach this.
  • You are a great teacher. Been playing and teaching guitar for 15years now but never seen anyone teach with as much clarity as you. No BS as well, straight to the point.
  • Great lesson. This is by far the clearest explanation of the process of breaking down a piece I've seen on-line.
  • I can't imagine a more thorough and clearer instruction on learning to master this classic, deceptively simple, Travis-picked song. Excellent!

    Now I know why I found it almost impossible to change from my 60 odd years of finger picking, and if I may say so, quite good, to Travis style and also many times over that period as a kid hearing and trying to interweave Freight Train. Isn’t it just the best when someone, and in this case, not any old someone honours you with a Light Bulb Moment. Gift gratefully received David. Keb Jo. Nom de blues inspired by Keb Mo another hero.
  • What a brilliantly analytical presentation of this style! I particularly liked the reference to the inner voice of the guitar/chord.
  • Thank you soooo much for your very thorough, patient explanation.
  • Thankyou David, this makes total sense : ) your explanations are spot on
  • @tomplaner1488
    I like your slow approach. I like your explanation of why.
  • @flamzsuck
    Thank you also! I stumbled on also as well as my playing! Going to study all your posts 👍
  • You're a great teacher Mr Hamburger. Have been struggling with this song but this approach makes complete sense.
  • I just stumbled across you David. I really enjoyed listening to what you have to say. I learned to Travis pick from my older sister. But I appreciate the way you're bending my ear and I'm going to study this. Thank you
  • Great job! A lot of knowledge + Patience = Extraordinary Didactics! Thank you - Brazil.

    I am revisiting this song on this episode. I "learned" it some time ago but the syncopation stuck with me better than I thought it would. I remember, being my first attempt at Travis picking, this taking many hours of one section at a time. Now I am realizing I have a lot of work left to do on this song to get the fingering cleaned up and getting control of the volume/emphasis of the each of the notes. There is getting everything memorized and then there is playing the touch David has. I love this song. :)
