Travis Picking

Unread post by MahlerGrooves » Wed Mar 30, 2005 12:37 am

I have been really getting into the music of Paul Simon lately, but his fingerpicking style has somewhat stymied me. A friend told me he does something called "Travis Picking," but then did not go into further detail.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks!

this is also a sick site for paul simon tabs as well.

Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

This was already discussed by the Tranman recently and I believe the same links were posted.

Peace,
