Fingerpicking on the guitar sounds (and looks) harder than it is. If you're willing to take a few minutes to get each component, putting it all together takes very little time. You can do it!
This is the two-finger Travis Pick, based on the style of legendary guitar player/singer/songwriter Merle Travis (1917--1983). I believe Travis usually used 2 fingers, but it is easy (and fun) to add another finger (or two).
