Exercise 2 for Beginning Travis Picking. Sit across from me and play this with me at 80 bpm.

Exercise 2 (Changing between 3 chords at 80, 90, and 100 bpm). Tune your guitar to standard tuning and sit across from me while I play this chordal progression for nearly three minutes each at 80, 90, and 100 bpm. I'll provide chord diagrams and the picking patter for you to see while we play. Don't proceed to 90 bpm until you can play at 80 bpm without mistakes.
1:48 80 bpm
4:23 90 bpm
6:08 100 bpm

... You’re welcome. I hope the tutorials are helping. Remember, 15 minutes every day.

Dennis on some fingerpicking pattern diagrams you show an alternative base note on the 4th string and on others it's the 3rd string. Why is this please. Mick Shotton

Good question. When I developed the color-coded scheme (green, red, purple) I changed the pattern for simplicity sake so students could grasp the concept faster, With this pattern, the only thing that's different is downbeat 1, whether the root note is one the 4th, 5th, or 6th string.

@@DennisAnthonis still a little confused because one pattern shows strings:- Base 4 3 base 2 4 3 and another shows Base 3 2 base 1 3 2. Please please explain further.
