I used Travis Picking in my video, alternating my thumb between the 4th and 3rd strings. If you need help with the picking, refer to the first three examples on my Fingerstyle Tutorial.

“San Francisco Bay Blues” is a folk-blues song written by Jesse Fuller in 1954. It tells the story of a heartbroken man who has lost his love and is left reminiscing about her while watching the ships in San Francisco Bay. The lyrics express sadness and longing, as he hopes she will return to him one day. The song features a lively, upbeat melody despite its melancholic theme and is often performed with a combination of guitar and kazoo. Over the years, it has been covered by numerous artists, including Eric Clapton, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Richie Havens, solidifying its place as a folk and blues classic.
