    I've seen several approaches to the Travis Pattern on Uke, but yours is by far the best. Thank you. 👍🏻

    4:10 is when instruction really starts
    5:20 Play-along on chords G, ‘Em, C, D11 (2 rounds each chord)
    5:55 what playing it faster sounds like
    6:25 Travis Picking Technique in combination with a melody

    Marco I just want to say you have been my inspiration for 1 year now. I absolutely love your videos and you have taught me so much on the ukulele. You are a fantastic tutor and I love learning your music. I hope you read this message.

    I started learning it your way and then ended up switching and using my middle finger for the A string….I’m happy with it like that, feels more comfortable!

  • @delbomb3131
    @delbomb3131 2 года назад +3

    I really like the way you don't just switch all the way into a chord between cycles of the pattern, it appears as though you plant 1 finger then the rest on the next cycle. I could be imagining things, but that seems like a fun way to keep your picking flow without rushing your left hand.

  • @world2sea
    @world2sea Год назад +2

    2:00. So Marco, I love your videos, and I have learned a lot. But I do have a question about why, with the Travis method, you are only using the index finger? When I first started to finger pick using a 4132 string progression it was natural for me to only use my thumb and forefinger. I have practiced my way out of that to include the middle and ring fingers when picking. Now, when trying to learn the Travis picking method, I keep wanting to use my middle finger on the number one string. So I find myself continuously going back-and-forth between doing it both ways. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to only using the index finger? Thanks for the videos and keep them coming!

    hi Marco, I have been trying to learn this picking pattern for a while now, but no matter how fast I go, it doesn't not sound like the demo that you played. I noticed tyat there are small pauses in your demo, but I am not sure how they work. I'd love to know how you did it. I looked at other RUclips videos, but their tutorials do not sound like your demo. i dont think i have my timing right. thank you for this great video.

      There are a lot of different options. You can strum with the thumb but when it comes to Fingerstyle I would use thumb index and middle finger :)

      @thewabisabicollective7170 3 года назад

      Try to keep your uke nearby and throughout the day (if possible) pick up for even 5-10 minutes at a time. With small, multiple practices instead of one long session you'll notice each time you'll be a little better.

      Question: if I play your melodies in some youtube videos (doing a 30-day ukulele & guitar challenge :), does it mean the videos will be banned by youtube? Is there a way to get a license? My channel is very new but I plan to keep learning from your channels :) and also got a guitar course.
