Travis Picking Essentials: 10 New Pages of PDF Guides!
|
NEW PDF & 6 STEP-BY-STEP VIDEOS! First up, an update to one of my older lessons. Back in 2018 I managed to finally get over the Travis Picking hump, thanks to John Prine's classic Clay Pigeons. In lesson #173 (below) I outlined the step-by-step series of exercises I created to get the hang of things: Today, I'm excited to share some new additions to this classic lesson. I overhauled my 7-page PDF guide from scratch, giving you detailed step-by-step guidance with tabs for each of the exercises I practice to build up to the full Clay Pigeons intro arrangement. I also recorded 6 new zoomed-in playthrough videos, where I demonstrate each of the exercises with tabs on screen. You can find my free video lesson and the bonus PDF & zoomed videos on my lesson #173 webpage » JUST ADDED! I've also been busy building out my Travis Picking Essentials course, which I've been working on between weekly lessons. Today, I'm happy to share 5 new PDF guides to accompany the first batch of lessons in this Travis Picking course. This gives you 10+ pages of print-friendly guidance to accompany the existing video lessons: You can access the 13 video lesson I've already recorded for this course, plus the 5 new PDFs, on the Travis Picking Essentials course page » ⭐️ MEMBER BONUS ⭐️ Lastly, I'd like to share a few in-progress lyric & chord sheet as a special thanks to members of Song Notes Premium... that means you! I haven't made video lessons or instructional PDF guides for these songs yet, but I'm happy to share these handy one-pagers in the meantime:
