Travis Picking Hybrid Rudiments - 16th string crossing exercise - The Landslide Series

[@russellscott1151]

This is a tricky little sucker especially the 4th phase, great stuff. Enjoying this series immensely thanks a lot.

+Russell Scott If you got this far, you're already a boss. They seem to get exponentially harder as you go, the last phase I don't feel like I have hardly at all. Anyway, it all comes with time. Balance your input with the time you have and allow yourself to get as far as you do.

Jon, you really are an inspiration. This whole series looks like it would be hugely beneficial for any fingerstyle arrangements (not just Travis). I've been learning some of your pluck and chuck series too and I'm having a blast with Mario Kart Love Song at the moment. I still have a way to go on pluck and chuck, but I can see how that series, plus increasing my mastery of travis picking with this series would give you a very good grounding in fingerstyle. Please keep it up. I'm sure you will build your subscriber base if you keep up with this level of teaching. I hope you are promoting yourself on social media too.

Gary Weddle I'm putting in that work, no question about it. Still teaching, but soon I've got a really cool original project that I expect will add a lot to what I'm doing. I interview people and write songs about it. In an ideal world, I'll make lessons and a documentary around this songs as well. Just exploring and adding what I can to the dialogue. Thanks for writing!

Jon Michael Swift If there was one recommendation I would make, it would be to put the chords in the description below the video. Sometimes I forget what they are, and rather than just watching that section again it would be a lot easier if they were written out. Keep up the good work!

[@jonmichaelswift]

yeah that has been mentioned to me before. I'm going to bear that in mind as I improve things. Thanks for the tip!

Thx bro great lesson your all series thx a lot god bless U

[@heavenlyuttrakhand2397]

If possible try to make a lesson on how to write song or arrange song in fingerstyle and uses of scales

[@jonmichaelswift]

+Lalit Rawat That, my friend, is not a subject for one lesson. If I knew more about what you wanted to do I might be able to condense it into one lesson, but to cover all the bases that would be a bit much. Shoot me an email if you want to talk more.

[@heavenlyuttrakhand2397]

Is it nessery to use fingers toy ?

[@jonathanbojan828]

+Lalit Rawat nope. They just help get my nail sound more consistent. I recommend doing what you can to keep the sound clean and strong, but you can do that with natural nails too.
