I am already a Travis picker so this was easy to do, the D9th and slide up on the E really made it for me and just keeping the bass line going really makes it..

Thanks for the comment, Jimmy and keep on picking!

Really enjoying your "how to play" videos. You are a great teacher and the graphic layout with the chord shapes and progressions are a huge help. Thanks a lot !

@BluesGuitarInstitute 3 года назад

Glad to hear that and thanks for the feedback about the graphics.

I just tried the medium gauge from Black Mountain, and they're just as amazing as the heavy.

@BluesGuitarInstitute 3 года назад

That's cool. I favor heavy gauge so the first one was great for me but now I'm thinking I should give it a shot...

Thank you! Life as a poor man; lessons don't come cheap, self-taught, needed this to improve my improvisation. Thanks a million.

Hey! Amazed by your knowledge, and ability to communicate it. Not for nothin’, if you were to edit these videos for folks a bit beyond beginner, you could even timestamp certain points of this video. so awesomely informative, but I’ve had to skip around a lot to get to the meat of it, your technique creates the sound but I already know the chords! I’m not at all complaining or critiquing but I think you could make videos of all lengths and talents! Thanks for your hard work!
