Cannonball Rag and Who's Sorry Now by Merle Travis

Lindsey Buckingham sent me here, he said he got his finger picking style from Merle Travis. ❤

Steve Vai did a video where there are 3 players sharing 3 guitars. Still, Steve V ain't Merle T.🎸

I have a thumb and four fingers on my pickin' hand. Apparently I only need a thumb and one finger. Merle and Django Reinhardt are starting to piss me off!!🎸

Merle’s Gibson super 400 was the most expensive guitar ever made at the time, fun fact.

I think Thom owes his Dad a real sweet thank you for the ability to do what he does. Hated to see him go.

Did you ever tried this? Real masters.

No more words to say what I feel when I watch this performance ! 👍👏 GREAT !

Wonderful

WOW!!!!

He was a great guy and a good friend of my Dad, they played way back when together thank you

Merle's picking is like patting your belly Oh never mind :)

Who is that playing with Merle?

Paul Rudd's talents never cease to amaze. Time traveller, mimic and ace guitarist 🎉

I got a question for you what was the first.............a song 🤣

What is the name of this show?

Who's the beautiful girl? Merle Travis is my favorite!

I'm just here for the Travis pickin 😂

HAHA THANK YOU

This man made a picking pattern for the guitar many folk singers still use today. Its called "Travis Picking", you can hear it on songs like "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" by Bob Dylan and "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" by Bob Dylan too. Those are the only two that come to mind when hearing "Travis Picking." It's really really soothing and relaxing to play for yourself too. It's super simple but it takes a while to really get down

Stunning
