Hey @jerrygriffiths389gmail-com thats a great question. Tony does introduce a lot of different variations of fingrstyle, not just Travis picking. Some of it is blues and other times when hes profiling a particular song. So I think you will definitely get some ideas here. My other suggestion is to pick a song you like that has a particular picking you like and then find a how to play version on Youtube. There are a lot of good teachers on there (and some not so good) and unless the song is really obscure, youre likley to find a few versions that will be at your level of playing, or ideally just slightly above. Pick one you like and put in the time and effort. Now youve learned a new song and also a distinct pattern that you can use down the road.
Personally Travis is my go to, mainly because its th first i learned and so many tunes use it. And I just really like the way it sounds, in all its variations. But Ive also learned a lot of different fingerstyle by learning specific songs that have a very different pattern.
Last thing…keep it simple, doesnt have to be fancy. For eg a basic arpeggio can sound really beautiful.
Anyhow I liked your question and hope this might give you some ideas. Main thing my friend is to keep on pickin and you will bust through that wall. And trust the process.. the more you do it, the sooner it will happen. Good luck and rock on!
