Episode description
Travis picking never grows old. It sounds as hip today as on '50s Elvis sides like "Mystery Train" and "That's Alright Mama." Steve's lesson is a 24-bar blues that includes four must-know Travis licks. Remember, the foundation for this technique is the strong, alternating quarter-note bass line, played with flatpicked downstrokes. This blues will get you into the finer points of the Travis picking thang.
