Hello all!
Here’s a great video on Travis Picking, which hits on what I always thought was the trademark of the style, the damped bass line:

Actually stumbled upon that while looking for some stuff on Joe Walsh, who is my new mandolin hero.
Yep, that’s what I consider Travis picking.
I have come to the conclusion that to much of anything is nasty except music . can’t get enough of it. so I will play and not 2 worry about terminology. We don’t have enough time to do much else but learn new tunes or songs and enjoy them . It is fine to discuss it but don’t get to caught up in the theory of music ,play it, hear it, embrace it . Most important of all laugh at yourself when you miss a note, go on to the next . . the listeners can’t tell LOL http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/86.gif
