There's a tuition video on Travis picking by that French guitarist who was brilliant but sadly died young.
He states quite clearly that you'll have to learn to do it to get that Travis sound. I've seen Thom bresh talk about it too. Marcel something was the French chaps name. Generally, I've seen lots of people do it and learned to do it myself too. Nick |

Now thats the only thing i could find but i've seen tommy emmanuel do it and talk about it. Anyway i dont think there is really a way to do it other than working hard on it. I'm sure you dont have to be conservative about the forum. |

Very good video, but I find it difficult to listen through Marcel's accent. I believe the closest lesson to Merle Travis' style is Thom Bresh's video from Homespun - "Like Father, Like Son" As you may know, Bresh is Travis' son. Bresh shows Merle's style to be very loose and free, you just have to know Travis' unique fingering. His techniques show it can be a lot easier than the tab makes it appear to be once you see the tricks that Merle used. best, Rick
