"The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel played out of C is an excellent example of the travis picking technique.

Who wrote me and my uncle originally? Love that tune hear it on pandora and have the name written down but the composer (whom I can't recall at the moment) didn't come up in an iTunes search...

Hey bro. I have tutorials on Dear Prudence and Julia. They both use travis picking. I break it down pretty good in the vids (so I've been told anyways).
Also I have a lesson on "Never Going Back Again" which is also travis picking. and Landslide which is a little bit different picking pattern but quite similar. Start with Dear Prudence and Julia and you'll get a really good understanding of what's involved. Landslide is a simpler pattern (although it has some tough sections) and then try Never Going Back Again, although it's much more difficult. Good luck bro! Dear Prudence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZv8mi-Lvs8 Julia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-U4l-7vAXc Never Going Back Again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rLZ-LIx09I Landslide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CYKtIu2oro |

Thanks for these tutorials, love2play. I look forward to checking them out.
Luke, the Grateful Dead popularized Me and My Uncle but I believe it was written by John Phillips.

I'll second that
Also try Townes Van Zandts "If I needed you" or Blaze Foleys "Clay Pigeons" and possibly Iris Dements "Our Town" |

Chords I use for "The Boxer" are C, Am, G, & F

+1 for Mark Hanson's 'Art of Contemporary Travis Picking'! I'm currently working through this great book, full of great songs and I've noticed a big difference in the quality of my pickin'!
