HarleySpirit Fingerstyle Fast/Shredding Travis Pick'n (33) RE: Fingerstyle Fast/Shredding Travis Pick'n 10 Jun 08


Two or three finger trills are ok, where applicable.
For Travis, Bluegrass, Swing, Blues, or Rock music, try using very fast "down/up/down/up"
index or middle finger strikes, much like you would if you were using a flatpick for single note "speed picking".
I find this works best with barefingers, and somewhat shorter nails.
Works well on classical guitar too!
To get you started, practise the pattern indicated on this page! Give it a try!
You jus might like it!
