Obviously this has been up a while but It's the first time I've seen it. THAT is exactly Merle Travis style. Thumb and one finger. Opposite thumb over the fretboard. Excellent, excellent excellent job.
This is what RUclips was meant for, major talent like this young man! Somewhere, Merle is looking down at you smiling ! That was absolutely beautiful, I really enjoyed your playing! 👍 🎸 🇨🇦
I have to say that 'Antoine Payen' took the words right from my mouth when he commented: "Fantastic! The REAL Travis-Picking, only thumb and index, with those very particular "thumb rolls" that made Merle's playing so special! BRAVO!" I was going to say the same thing. Listeners got so wrapped up in your picking they failed to comment on the camera angles...lol! I like the camera angles. I think it keeps things fresh and more enjoyable to watch. Good work!
Fantastic performance.superb tempo.u got full control over the song .I love the guitar u played.what make is ur guitar ? what is the name of it ? Thank you.
Well if I am honest I don’t know how TAB works. I would think if you found different versions of the tab you could use the locks to work it out. Thank you for reaching out and I apologize for not knowing
Thank you! My grandpa taught me how to play and I just listened to Merle’s versions of it and just played what I heard. My grandpa is Eddie Pennington and he is the greatest teacher I could have had. If you don’t know who he is you need to look him up on RUclips as well!
My thumb is too short for making chords over the top of the neck. So I play it a little differently. But nice to see how it is supposed to be played. Great Job.

Thank you very much! I try to keep it as close to Merle as possible.

Outstanding Caleb. Great technique of finger style shown here. Good Job. Congratulations.👏👍👏👍
Buddy, I could never do it any better than that. Sure makes a old grandpa proud.
When I close my eyes and think of Merle Travis's music, I now think of Caleb's playing! That boy is GOOD!!

Great job!!! I’m sure that Grandpa Eddie is mighty proud of you!!!
One of the few that can do the authentic Travis rolls with the thumb and 1st finger. Great!
Thank you
@Tamas Varga No true. It produces a different "Travis" sound than doing it with 3 fingers.
Glad to see Merle Travis style lives on.
Many followed him , like chet, Jerry, and dozens more. Keep up the tradition.
Very good, more true to Merle style than most
Thank you very much.
Absolutely stunning !
Most excellent Caleb! Great technique, perfect tone and I loved all the little tricks you threw in. Perfect sir!
That’s some incredibly good pickin’ especially doing it the way Merle did with one finger!!
Excellent
Thank you
Excellent job on a great Merle Travis song! You sound so much like Merle with a little Chet on the side. Great job, loved it
Beautiful!! 🎉🎉🎉
That was something else. Congrats on your level of playing. A true motivator for me
Thank you so much!
Thank you for keeping it alive! You know Travis and Chet, Jerry Mose Ranger and other Thumbpicker are smiling. Thank you!
My goodness that's good!!
Fantastic performance.superb tempo.u got full control over the song .I love the guitar u played.what make is ur guitar ? what is the name of it ? Thank you.
Great job on a great Ovation guitar!
Very good playing, that was beautiful!
I really appreciate it
Killing it man, Tempo
Ey man. Brilliant! Nice touch
Hey Caleb good job man!! Big like 171!
Great job man! :)
Wow! Well done Sir! I'm going to go burn my guitar now..........
Awesome Man!
Merle comes out of this body !
😘 from France.
Thank you so much! All the way from France!!
Awesome finger and chord work!
Thank you
ツーフィンガーで奏でる所はマール・トラヴィスと同じでかなりの鍛錬が有ったのでしょう、お見事です
Great job 👍
Excellent work 👍 What tab source would you recommend to combine all the different versions like you've done ??
Well if I am honest I don’t know how TAB works. I would think if you found different versions of the tab you could use the locks to work it out. Thank you for reaching out and I apologize for not knowing
Btw. I just heard your gramps play this song. It was fantastic
Great job good tone too
Thank you very much
WOW!!
Fantastic
Well done!!!
Really good. Chet and Jerry would approve
Excellent
Thank you
Sounds really cool. Where is possible to get tabs or notes for the song?
Thank you! I am sorry but I am not sure where to find tabs or notes.
Dang you really got it.
Thank you
This is incredible!! I’ve just begun learning this and can’t find anywhere to get an authentic tab of what Travis does! Where did you go to learn?
Thank you! My grandpa taught me how to play and I just listened to Merle’s versions of it and just played what I heard. My grandpa is Eddie Pennington and he is the greatest teacher I could have had. If you don’t know who he is you need to look him up on RUclips as well!
Excellent!!!!........Roger
Thank you
Great Travis picking.
thumb and index only! wow!
Muy bueno , destacable ✨🎸👌
Mucho gracias
My thumb is too short for making chords over the top of the neck. So I play it a little differently. But nice to see how it is supposed to be played. Great Job.
Respect!!!
You could only play this way if you love the guitar....GOD, you are good.
I absolutely love it. Thank you so much!!
Yep

Thank you so much!
Uauuuu!...
Great 👍
Thanks!
Let me be the first to "LIKE/LOVE" this!!!
Thank you very much
Excellent better than Merle as he knows how to keep good time.
2 FINGERS ONLY ?
Just thumb and index
@@calebcootsmusic how Did you learn it? How long, tabs?
Like Merle Travis? Only 2 fingers and sounds as though he had 10 …😂
Nice pickin!
Thank you so much!
Ovation!
I wish I had learned to play guitar.
All you need to do is put your mind to it. Knuckle down, buckle down. DO IT, DO IT , DO IT.
I see one part was to advanced for you to play the bass notes on 😂
I am loving your music!
Thank you so much
You sound so much like Eddie!
Good job!
Thank you
Excellent
Thanks
