Travis Picking Ukulele Tutorial - with helpful camera angle!

Travis picking is named after country guitarist, Merle Travis. The thumb alternates between the lower strings and the other fingers pluck the higher strings on the off-beat. It is commonly used in folk and country songs. Let me know if you found the tutorial helpful.

My muscle memory hasn't picked this up yet. I can do for a few seconds and then my fingers go crazy. LOL! Thanks for this.

@MelbourneUkuleleCommunity Thank you. This pattern is soneasy but so hard at the same time since muscle memory parttern repetition is key there.
