| Lesson 11 · Travis picking |
Hey Tomasz, The hardest note in this one is the one you don't play. It's the pattern from day 14 of the new twenty-day course. Have it now.  Six quick notes, one lone thumb note, then space. The space is the instruction. There's no new move in here. Every one has been under your fingers this week. What's new is the gap. Most people rush to fill it. Leave it there. Same bar, new order  Day 13. The same four bars, C, G, Am7 and G, picked three ways. Only the firing order changes. That's the whole twenty days. TRY IT NOW: 6 MINUTES Hold C. Play the six quick notes, the lone thumb note, then leave the space empty. Then alternate: pattern 1 for a bar, pattern 3 for a bar. The pass mark: the gap is still there when you speed up. The three doubts "Travis picking is for advanced players." You just played a pattern 3 bar, and nothing in it was new to your hands. "I haven't got the time." That drill was six minutes. Course days run the same: one exercise, at a speed you set. "I can't read music." There's none in it. Tab only, with the picking finger printed on every note. If none of those three was your doubt, reply and tell me what it is. I read them.
The new twenty-day course, the player that listens, and every other course in the school.
