Thanks for the perspectives.
Been strumming, flatpicking 3 years, thought I would fingerpick. I say to my teacher: Ready to learn a new song, he says Dust in the Wind. Travis picking.
I gulp and say ok, I like that song.

4 weeks later, I am Travis picking.
Not fast, but basic pattern at 50% speed.

It's the chord changes with the picking that are the new muscle memory challenge.
But it's a great new journey.
And, teacher says I am not a real guitarist until I learn
