At nearly 40, I’ve decided to learn the guitar. I’ve been at it for about a year, and recently found my way to Travis picking, a style of fingerpicking named after Merle Travis.
Knowing that I have a while before I get in my 10,000 hours, I like to watch videos of Merle performing the style that he made famous. Also: I want to smack the guy on his right when he says, “That’s all you have to do”.
