    Wow, very powerful excersise. Like you said - it's nice to play songs and all, but let's not forget about the basics. Thanks a lot, I'm going to add this to my routine, it definitely will help me improve my playing!

    Learning this was transformational for me. I notice you rest your thumb on the string lower than you play, and pick with fingers 2 and 3. Very cool.

      Yes. I always had that! It helps get rid of the resonating noise of the strings :)

    Hi Marco I love this exercise it’s just what I need. Can you tell me on my tight hand, do I use my thumb to start as I go up the fretboard and start with 3rd finger as I go down or is it the thumb both ways to start? Thank you 🙏

    Another way to the 1-2-3-4 pattern, keep your fingers on the fretboard as you move the 1 finger to the next string. The point of this exercise is to keep your fingers close to the fret board the whole time

  • @kapoochapow8765
    @kapoochapow8765 Рік тому

    I tend to use my chording hand to hold up my ukulele which involves mostly using my thumb or palm to holdup the ukulele up as I move down or up the neck. I'm not entirely sure how to utilize my chording hand properly, but I am noticing that the chording hand is not supposed to use any effort to hold up the ukulele at all to help you play, so how do you keep the ukulele up as you play?
