These days the term "Travis" Picking is often used to describe a pattern that uses your thumb to alternately pick the bass notes (Merle Travis only used thumb and index finger).
In the video I show a template for a picking pattern, a G-C-D practice riff and an up tempo riff
using Hammer Ons, Pull Offs and G to C chord transitions.
CC translations in Chinese, French, Hindi, Spanish and Swedish are available, just click on
Settings (the "gear" widget), select "Subtitles/CC" and select a translation.
