I'm confused.
The Travis picking in Dust in the Wind . . .
I've downloaded the sheet music . . . .
I've seen videos on how to play Dust in the wind . . .
And there's a conflicting video that shows the Travis picking different from the other videos and the sheet music yet it still sounds right. Even beautiful.
Here's the conflict:
The Travis picking I've seen explained has the string sequence:
1. A & B strings (plucked simultaneously)
2. D string
3. G string
4. A string
5. B string
6. D string
7. G string

Yet this video has the sequence for 6 & 7 reversed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NggF9RzA8p0

This video contradicts all the others and the sheet music that Claudine linked me to (PowerTabs).
So my question is,
What's the right way?

Dust on my Brain,
Ken

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

I think I got the answer.
I went back to YouTube to read the comments on that video.
And I found a couple of postings that said he had the 6 & 7 reversed.
Just as I thought.
Good thing because I just locked down in "finger memory" the correct Travis picking.
And I don't think there's a reset button on finger memory.

Remember Yeehaw?

and I'm a grinnin' . . ."

PS Ricochet, Actually his "wrong way" sounded damn good!

Exactly what I thought, that it'd work either way. It's nice to have variations on riffs, actually. Who's to say that the Kansas guitarist always did it the same way?
