Hi Klaus,

Thank you so much for your reply and for posting these finger picking pattern videos. I will review patterns # 12 and #13 and get back to you if I am unable to figure them out. I still have so much to learn…..

Hi Gilles,
If there are 4 or 8 notes in a bar then it’s a 4/4 time signature.
If there are 6 notes in a bar/measure then it’s a 6/8 time signature.
If there are any other examples you can’t figure out let me know.
Give me the example number and I’ll explain.

Best,
Klaus Crow

Nice PIMA patterns. However, pattern 12 is NOT what Merle Travis played. I watched Travis almost every Friday night between 1954 and 1964. Start with the fact that Travis played with his thumb and index finger only! Tom Bresh, his son, plays with PIMA, but not Travis. Demo Cannonball Rag with your thumb and index only and then talk about Travis style. And don’t forget to use your left thumb to fret both the 6th and 5th strings.

I’ve been doing good on these but the D chord is confusing to me. How do you play a D chord in patterns where the 2nd pluck is on the D string? i.e. pattern 6.

I have been searching for a long time and have gone through no less then 15 videos.
So far I haven’t found what I am looking for, even on many Chord Charts.
I am looking for Chords that will go with Finger picking Cmadd9.
All the Videos and Charts show the Wrong Shape for the Cmadd9 chord.
The correct Fingerpicking Shape is
Index Finger is on the 4th String and 2nd Fret.
Middle Finger is on the 5th String and on the 3rd Fret.
Ring Finger is on the 2rd String and on the 3rd Fret.

The wrong shape,has a Pinky on the 1st string on the 3rd Fret.
The correct Finger picking shape will not have the Pinky on the 1string on the 3rd Fret.

Can you give me some Chords that will go with the correct Cmadd9?
