This message board is designed for the discussion of guitar-related issues, with particular emphasis on fingerstyle guitar and specifically , the life and music of history's greatest guitar player, Mister Guitar, Chet Atkins https://www.misterguitar.us/forum/
Here's a video of me playing my transcription of Travis' song, "Rose Time". Although there's a pickup in the soundhole, I'm not using it - the guitar was recorded acoustically.
Thanks for watching, and hope you like it. I really appreciate that you all have been watching my videos and making comments.

You're a true master of the Merle Travis style, Randy. I'm so glad to see you and Eddie Pennington help keep his style alive. I grew up on Travis music, in the sense that my Dad was a Travis picker more so than an Atkins picker (I was the only Reed picker in the family). I sometimes wonder if Chet would have been Chet without Merle.
Anyway, I talk too much, so I'll just end with "Great Job."

That's great Randy! Merle's style of playing for sure with harmonics for good measure. Thanks for posting.
