I learned Travis picking many years ago. I'm so glad I put in the effort. I use it in many songs - even if the original uses a different pattern. In many cases it's close enough. Learning these patterns is so worth it. Thanks

[@GuitarAtWork]

I absolutely agree. Thanks for that. Cheers, Shane

[@otytrini]

You’re so EXPLICIT, NO STRESS !! In your teaching Thanks a million ❤

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks for that - glad it’s working for you! Shane

[@lindasmith6668]

I appreciate how you give many patterns, and you also show us what mistakes to avoid. I can watch this video many times over and get so much out of it each time.😊

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hi Linda, thank you - that’s so great! Have fun with it my best to you Shane

[@maureenhanley2361]

Shane, you are awesome. Thank you so much for your videos. I'm so glad I found you on UTube. You make learning fun

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Maureen - very glad to have you here with us. Cheers! Shane

[@lindasmith6668]

This is an excellent video that doesn't just explain one pattern that can be practiced over and over again. Many, many thanks to you 😊❤

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks again Linda greatly appreciate it and happy to have you here with us! Shane

[@frankgobell5025]

So essential! This is something I really needed, and it benefits anyone learning fingerpicking. And emphasizing the cluster and the displace helps immensely. It's so easy to just sit on a pattern and not move on from it. Thanks!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Fabulous - thank you SO much Frank - that is exactly what I am trying to get across on this video. I appreciate you taking the time to comment - Cheers! Shane

[@jimmyv6703]

I figured out why I think you’re the best guitar instructor. No matter what the minutiae , you make it exciting and doable. Thanks again.

[@GuitarAtWork]

That’s a really nice comment to receive Jimmy. A big thank you and all my best, Shane

[@JimmysGarden]

I came across your channel labout 2 weeks ago. I haven't played a guitar in about 40 years. Because I enjoy your videos, the ease of your teaching method, your love of playing and teaching I went out and bought a guitar. I'm working the videos of Eagles stuff. I will join your patreon once the pain in my fingers get use to the strings 😂😂 Thank you

[@GuitarAtWork]

Really great Jimmy - thanks for that - it really makes my day to read a comment such as yours. My best to you and let's all have fun with it! Shane

[@JimmysGarden]

@@GuitarAtWork your welcome

[@billytheearthworm573]

Useful motor memory practice techniques for the uninitiated... 👍

[@GuitarAtWork]

Absolutely Billy - thank you for that. Throw a movie on and repeat these patterns until you own them thoroughly. Best to you, Shane

[@sandragirard8054]

[@vodkaone1053]

Thank you. I had a bit of trouble following you as I'm used to numbering strings instead of fingers. Worked through until I got it right.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Very glad to hear that - my best to you. Shane

[@hypekillacsplaya]

Yea this stuff for sure takes time and you can just pick it over allllll notes so i love that. And you can never really practice enough. lol I need to really learn to relax my arms and hands, sometimes i feel like im to tensed up.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Eric - keep at it! Shane

[@hypekillacsplaya]

[@TheRealSandleford]

Wow did you go to broadcasting school or work in radio? Your voice strikes me that there was something like that in your past.... had a run in with some glass and never really messed with FP too much cause of the nerve damage but fun to start working on it!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Ha! Nope - no broadcasting school - hope you enjoy and get your fingers moving! Shane

[@pegloor]

I'm going to start using "cluster pluck" in an other context. Thanks for the word.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Ha! Love it, Shane

[@johnvancedar5354]

Great video for those interested in learning fingerpicking, where were you when I started fingerpicking ?

Hi Shane, I’m dying to know what Taylor model you’ve got? Thanks for the wonderful lessons.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Tim - it’s a Taylor 814CE (2019). Cheers, Shane

[@JOHNKIRK100]

Greetings from Sherwood Forest England - Can you do a vid on the Detectorist theme by Johnny Flynn please, cheers John

[@oddshot60]

Any chance you could do a breakdown of James Burton's lead guitar work as well as the acoustic guitar chords on the studio version of Judy Collin's Someday Soon found on her Who Knows Where the Time Goes album? Thanks to her voice, Buddy Emmon's pedal steel and Burton's lead fills and solo this was a massive hit for Collins and helped get Country Rock started. Although you can find vids about Emmon's Steel parts, NOBODY has ever discussed Burton's stuff ... and it only appears on this record.

[@GuitarAtWork]

I will have a listen - thanks for that. Shane

[@jamesdorland3831]

Hey Shane. Miss you man. Think of you often.

[@Dutcharmytent]

Your studio looks so dark now with the new low lighting.

[@zivamariediva8082]

Too cute
