Trust us on this one, Shane--there is a bit more to i it than your method book brings up, though it may be that he is presenting it a little bit at a time. Probably a good idea, since learning the ins and outs of Travis picking could keep you busy for the next 20 years, at least if you gloss over some things;-)

Anyway, welcome, and don't hesitate to post whatever comes into your head(everyone else does)--The best part of Mudcat is that you can ask a music question(even one you think is a little dumb) and get an answer fast!! I am most amaze when someone posts a few words from a forgotten song(of any kind) and the name of the song, the lyrics,the history, and often links to MIDI,streaming audio, or MP3 files appear in only minutes--
