Five Ukulele Fingerpicking Patterns You Should Be Practicing Right Now.

Hello Marco, just joined. Do you have the gp file for this?

Hi Lisa, thanks a lot for the message. Enjoy the lessons

I am in the same boat as Lynn. I have just started the ukulele. Your lessons are so awesome!

Hi Lynn, thanks a lot for sharing your goals. I am sure it's inspiring for others to see how you have organized them. Also, thanks a lot for suggesting the video. I am sure I will take the time to record a similar video in the future. Enjoy the lesson and keep us posted on your progress :)

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, Steve. I will try!

I enjoyed this very much. Would like to see these applied to specific songs. Thanks.

Thank you Marco for this lesson on Fingerpicking Patterns. I really appreciated having a general overview, though admittedly it was quite overwhelming. As an older adult with no experience on a stringed instrument the dexterity needed to play with each hand doing completely different things and in time is surprisingly challenging. Add in having to read a chart and learn a melody is a daunting task. I want to get familiar with the fret board. It is so different than a clarinet or a piano. Focusing on hands, fingers, rhythm and sound without needing to be attached to a specific song chart (though appreciated) is preferred. Some of my Goals for practice: +Get intimately familiar with the fret board. +Develop the fluid finger control that you demonstrate +Be able to play the pattern without looking at either hand or the chart +Derive as much as possible from your experience, knowledge and expertise +Experience continuous incremental progress, reevaluating my progress each week. My primary reason for playing the ukulele is for my own musical pleasure and satisfaction. And because it seems achievable. I want to experience how Music theory works on the ukulele and how SONGS work on the ukulele. Discovering my own voice and style, composing my own songs, and learning how to get certain sounds are all musical goals. The ukulele is so friendly and it is relatively simple to get a lovely sound regardless of what you’re playing. I like the step approach where I can hear and achieve discernible progress in my playing while making music. Suggestion: Could you develop a practice routine lesson for the PIMA with a repeated line of just 3 chords like C, Am and F. For the next line add an incremental challenge like adding G7 and G. Construct a third and fourth line for the Key of F and so on. Can you develop similar kinds of progressions for the other fingerpicking patterns. I know just enough to pose the possibility, but I can't do this for myself and you may be able to draw on your musical knowledge to create some interesting practice routines. Considering my practice goals and my general music goals, I'm eager to see what you might come up with. I appreciate your use of Patreon and the opportunity to comment with commitment. I really enjoy your manner of presentation and I admire your musical knowledge, interest and skill. Happy to pay a higher tier in Patreon for a customized learning process.

Thanks a lot, Paul. Enjoy the video.

Enjoy the video.

Hi Josh. Absolutely. Take it step-by-step. I will probably record a beginner fingerstyle uke video soon.

Incredible lesson Marco, you have really given us so much to learn and practice here. Every pattern you demonstrated has your special touch and feeling in it... love this lesson and thrilled to learn these techniques from you!!!

oh. I was wondering when you would make a uke version. just in time. Thanks Marco :)

I can't play all or even many of those patterns but I like listening to them very much. I'll start with the most basic pattern for now and hopefully progress. Thank you.
