Thumb Movement on Three Strings | Module 6

Hey guys, let’s keep going with the Technique lab Vol.2 dedicated to the Travis picking technique. In this lesson, I am going to show you how to play the Travis picking thumb movement on three strings. This is just an introduction to the three strings movement before we try something more challenging.

The exercise is in C major, and it should help you understand the thumb movement on three strings. We will start with the thumb only before adding a super simple melody on the top two strings.

Overall this is a straightforward exercise that introduces a challenging approach.

If you are a beginner, take it step-by-step.
