Fred Sokolow - Travis Picking For Beginners - DVD
Merle Travis' brilliant fingerpicking style inspired Chet Atkins and
generations of country, folk, bluegrass and rock guitarists. Travis picking is a
very complete use of the guitar: when you play steady, alternating bass notes
with your thumb and pick melodies with your fingers you're playing lead, rhythm
and bass all by yourself. But how do you keep that thumb-bass independent so it
doesn't get derailed when your fingers pick the melody? Fred makes it easy for beginners or intermediate guitarists by breaking it all down and taking each
song step by step. First you learn the melody, then add the bass, then add the
syncopation that makes it swing. Split screen versions of the songs with
close-ups of both hands will help you learn Travis style - it's a great
introduction to fingerpicking! Songs include: "Nine Pound Hammer, I Am a
Pilgrim, Windy and Warm, Whispering, Mack the Knife".
