Thanks Les and M.Ted.Now M.Ted, you say that this style is much discussed on Mudcat; I have found a few passing references to Travis picking, but no real discussion under that title of what it is. However, on the "Can I Play Like Watson" thread there is quite a bit of discussion on fingerpicking with 1 vs. 2 vs. 3 fingers - is that the discussion you meant? If so, what's the rationale for calling it a kind of flatpicking?
