I am looking to learn some fast speed picking licks similar to the licks Travis Toy is playing here ------> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEkDavGXah8
Does anybody have any suggestions where I could find tabbed out licks or video instruction focusing specifically on these fast runs?
Thanks

Paul Franklin offers courses on speed picking. I do not know the content, but i'd say he's got pretty good credentials on the subject!s

| One thing you can do is transcribe. Transcribe a fast steel solo you like, also work on non steel stuff to try to find your approach to the fretboard. A great melody to start with is the lick from "tear stained letter" by Richard Thompson. |

Who has a copy of the venerable three-string, two-finger picking trick?

Lotsa people got a lot out of that one (myself included). I still play it as a warm-up now and then. Weldon was a genius. |

Anyone have a copy they would like to share, I lost mine probably 35 years ago.

Jeff Newman's "No Speed Limit Series" is a really good place to start. Parts 1&2 come as a set and focus on major scale runs and alternate string picking and right hand technique. Part 3 focuses on improvisational scales (including the 3 string/2 finger thingy, bar hopping and some others)and bases them all around one song in key of A. I spent my 2 week Christmas vacation working on Parts 1&2 and can absolutely say they changed my steel playing 100% for the better. I have been working slowly on Part 3 for a couple months now and it's coming along. I started playing in a band and it slowed my pracice and progress down due to learning tunes.
I think if you got Jeff's stuff down really well, you could transcribe Travis' stuff more easily. |

I dug through my Cassettes and found "Paul Franklin's Hot Licks for e9".
It is just what the Dr. ordered. Its easy to follow and shows licks over certain chord changes. Say a Speed lick to over a 1 to 4 change. Some really good stuff on this one.

I think of the term "transcribing" as the entire process of learning music in order to write it down.
Clint Strong, a musical genius IMO, says it all very well in this video:
