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".
