Thank you for publishing this book… The art of contemporary Travis Picking. I play the guitar, strumming, and I really want to learn how to finger pick. Hope your book and web page will help. I am 75 years old in November and and just finish Chemo and radiation treatment and so I have time on my hand to practice all of you lessons as I recover from the treatment.
Good luck, Melvin. Keep your picking hand relaxed, and go slowly and play quietly at first. That will help with relaxation, No need to be speedy initially. Practice along with the recording for steadiness and tone production. I hope the book helps with your recovery! Mark
I am returning to this Travis picking book after an absence of many years. (I had the earlier edition w/ the CD). I’m really enjoying the videos for additional practice and the streaming audio samples that can easily be looped and slowed down. Most of this is review for me and I can play “Over And Out Rag” from memory. My goal is to get “Hesitation Blues” under my fingers. Thanks for a wonderful update to a guitar book classic.

You’re welcome, Diana! Thank you for rediscovering it. Then onward to Art of Solo Fingerpicking! That will take you to a higher level!
