[D] Here's Travis on a baritone ukulele playing a D chord.
I'm playing the Travis 1 pattern, P-M-P-I, P-M-P-I,
alternating thumb between the fourth and third strings.
Now go to [G] a G chord, still playing Travis pick number 1.
[D] Back to D, [Em] now to A7.
Notice that as the chords change, the right hand does not.
Consistently stays with that same pattern of P-M-P-I,
thumb, middle, thumb, index, thumb, middle, thumb, [D] index.
Back to D.
Now Travis pick number 2,
[G]
[Em] [D]
[G] G chord, back [D] to D, [C#] A7, [Em] [D] and back to D.
So you see that Travis pick, doesn't matter whether you're playing it on a baritone,
or a tenor, or soprano, or concert, whatever it might be,
is always the same, thumb, middle, thumb, index.
There's the most basic Travis, P-M-P-I.
And remember from the lesson I spoke about,
try to keep the thumb ahead of the fingers,
[Bm] so the fingers can arch cleanly up into the palm of the hand,
the thumb [G] can come down clear of the fingers,
as opposed to having the fingers up here, and the [D] back here.
So there you have Travis pick on a baritone ukulele.
By the way, I'm playing an Oscar Schmidt here, it's an OU55CE,
the E meaning electric, so you notice it has a pickup, it's got a cutaway.
Even without amplification, it's got an excellent tone,
lots of voice to it, very responsive, nice looking,
and the action on the neck is perfect, just perfect.
And I actually took this out of the case a few minutes ago,
I haven't played it for a while, and it's in tune, I didn't even have to [C#] touch it,
[D] so it keeps its tune [G] really well.
[D] The OU55CE.
Have fun, and happy strumming.
