Are those all your electric guitars? I don’t see any acoustic guitars on the wall.

Been looking at different videos on Travis picking,I picked this as the best lesson I’ve found…

Sounds like the body is made of plastic.

Travis picking is not easy. It takes years of practice.

Great clear, lesson! Thank you very much for posting.

One of these days.....

Great overview on the Fiore! But.. It sure looks like a 2-Piece body to me. Right when you lift to show the body and several times through the video, I keep seeing what looks like a line that gets highlighted at just the right angle and lighting. This seems consistent with what most have said. 2-Piece body but most often very well done and at times almost invisible.. Beautiful guitar, and Im driving out of town this weekend to pick one up!

Merle Travis used his thumb and index finger to produce his amazing sound. Rev. Gary Davis played in a similar manner.

Gotta agree. Too many tone wankers having a sound flog out there!

Eh bien c est vraiment réussi Super son ! Comme l original . La strat est bonne et l ir svp . C est quoi . Merci

Yah tell em cork sniffers what's down brother and that should straighten out their cork sniffing ways

Made in China ?

Where can I a nut for the strat woodstock

Also ankering is important…

A very talented musician and teacher, but too little focus on the chords themselves, because which bass strings you pluck clearly depends on which chord you're playing, right? I'll see 6-5, 6-4, 5-4, etc., none of which helps unless you know which chord, which unfortunately, your video does not show.

A60 sounded best to me...best bass which I tend to gravitate to playing dreadnoughts for years.

Thank you for actually fingerpicking a guitar that begs to be fingerpicked! Too many demo/review videos with just strumming

Can we rest our pinkie on the picking hand-? Supports the picking hand ?--you don't --!

Why not show that mystery chord you are paying in the first part of the lesson ?

Nice review! Tagima is a japanese name. The company's creator is called Seizi Tagima, he is a Japanese immigrant.

What’s happening with the left hand at 13.08?

ใช้สายเบอร์อะไรครับ

Best lesson ive had thank you bro

Finally I can play this finger Style.. Thank you for sharing

excellent review, my older ears cannot hear a difference between the models. If I move in this direction, I'll go with the 40 and save. Thanks!

Oh my god… now they went up from $685 to $950. Fucking inflation is crazy bad. Ughhhh 😔😔😔😔

I’m 84 yrs. Old I have over searched and still tough on has & melody simultaneously. I can certainly repair much of my technique by following this protocol. Who is this doc Watson 3 time learner what a jerk. Doc Watson,Tony Rice

So glad I didn’t buy one

Thanks. Well thought out lesson. Hello from Asia.

Easily the best tutorial on Travis picking. I often come back to this video cause once you’ve nailed it you think to yourself wow it really is easy 😂

A month ago I bought a TG-530 on a whim for $300 (guess I wanted to REALLY support my local music shop). Had never even heard of Tagima. Took it home and discovered I really loved it. More than my 28 year old PRS CE-22, more than any of my other guitars. Upgraded the pickups to Wilde Noisefree Strats (not because the originals sound bad, but because there is way too much 60Hz in my music room) and a Freeway Switch (for fun) and liked it even more. Wondered if I was putting too much $$$ into a cheap guitar, so went to music store and played more than 30 new and used Fender Strats up to $3000, and none of the necks felt as good (to me) as the Tagima. Next week I'm getting a new nut because the old one does look like a plastic piece of junk with bits of shaved plastic still hanging off it (not that it seems to matter to the sound or playability) and asking the luthier if I'm insane to keep sinking money into it. But I'm just blown away by how good this guitar feels and plays.

Mine is not one piece. Makes no difference to me, but…

Guitar sure sounds good but you swing that tune just right

Easy in concept, not so much in execution 😂 great video helps a ton!

i've learned several doc Watson flat pickin songs online. I have some great teachers. Bryan Sutton etc. You suck!!!!

Has anyone cared about dive bombs after their 15th birthday?

Great video! Your fingers remind me of a crab walking when you get going fast. The fingernail info was nice to know.

Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,I'm,um ...

Jerry would look good on a PRS acoustic..

Sounds great!!!!

Thanks man. This makes sense. I've been doing that repetition thing for the last couple of days rather than wandering aimlessly around the fretboard. Has changed my thoughts and approach to solos. Also it gives you ideas for riffs which in turn can be turned into a piece.

Nobody seems to do "Travis Picking" correclty..Merle only used his index finger and his thumb..

Don't know who Dickey Betts is? Better go back to your rock 🤣

Too fast, I'm afraid. Sometimes things can be over-explained.

13:08 what's the name of song this movement is from?

I have been finger picking for decades. When I tried placing my thumb in relation to my index finger as demonstrated here, my wrist has to be bent at a 45 degree angle. This feels and looks very unnatural and is uncomfortable to hold for any time. If the guitar is held nearly vertically, it is a little easier, but not much. I'm going back to what works for me. Otherwise, a good lesson.

Thanks for the lesson

so easy!! thank you

May be, but not for the older folk like me... I've been trying to no avail... hahha
