David, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, and I think your guitar skills are superb. I am 78, self taught, having been playing for about 13 years, probably making the same mistakes repeatedly, and need to sharpen my skills. I play a “hybrid Travis pick,’ a sort of style I need to get rid of. I like fingerstyle, but also do some thumb strumming as well. I wrote a few songs, Christian folk Gospel, and did a few hymn covers of songs in public domain. I post both on KZbin. I have to work on the Travis pick. Hope I can get it down half as well as you do it. It is a challenge, being a mediocre guitarist stuck in a rut. Thanks for sharing.

So I have to say, Excellent lesson. Seen a lot of vids for sure! But trying to play them rarely seems to pan out, but this is an easy flow and visually sticks in my head. I retired 5 almost 6 years ago and looks like my search for a site is over. Also this is one of my all time favourite tunes. I am slow to learn normally.....But not today! Cheers and Thank You.

Hi David….question, when you say you practiced that a lot, what’s a lot? I seem to practice and practice and practice, and I still have troubles. Playing about 20 months, age 71, cognitive function excellent and no arthritis in my hands..lol. Just thought I’d throw that in there.

Townes Van Zandt is an excellent choice.

At 76 years young, I love listening to your lessons. I am relearning after 30 years and taken travis picking. I am not a subscriber yet , but I still work part-time, so I will get my act together soon. Could you consider, for this old Ausie dude, a lesson on Bonnie Raites song Not because I wanted to. This current lesson has got me of my GCDEm comfort zone, and I love the easy F. Cheers Jim.

Thanks David! I always get tripped up trying to learn a Travis picking song when they change the pattern with every chord. Just getting these four patterns down should help.

Awesome! What separates you from most over guitar teachers on KZbin is that you actually sing as well while playing … subscribed!

Pattern will work for Stand by Me too! You had a strumming lesson for this song using the key of C.

Isn’t this the same pattern you used for Landslide?
