Hey everyone - just checking in to see how this series is coming along for you. What do you find to be the most difficult aspects of fingerpicking thus far? Which patterns have you conquered a bit faster? I love hearing from you all so let me know, k? ~Kevin
Mine is just making sure that I'm picking in the right order. I find that I do great at certain tempos but then I loose my fingering after I repeat the pattern for so long. Any suggestions?
hey kevin , love love love the fingerpicking series. im a beginner on uke and feel I have done pretty well with the picking, although a bit of a mystery working it into a song is there any way you could do a follow up lesson with a few examples of songs for each pattern you taught. thanks
Most difficult is getting the strings to ring out property. It was hard enough with the strumming but the fingerpicking brings out all the flaws. Any suggestions?
I just found you and I'm still working on the 1st picking lesson but I LOVE your channel. Your lessons are so clear and easy to follow & all of the pointers are very helpful. Thank you 100 xs
It is awesome that you go slow for us newbies. It makes me feel dorky to practice alone, and to the contrary, it is very nice to have a real person to play along with. And, its especially great to be reminded to smile, because even though I have to un-knot my fingers every few minutes, I do enjoy playing when you remind us that we are accomplishing lots of good things for ourselves by learning a musical instrument. They are good for our physical bodies, (brain & heart especially) our minds, our emotions, and souls, as well. Thank you for being so encouraging.
Hi from the UK.. I have diagnosis of early onset dementia so I decided to keep my brain cells oiled as long as possible by learning to play one of these… What a minefield of teachers in UA-cam..? So, watched you and it sunk in straight away, and more importantly for me it stayed! I can’t thank you enough. Blessings and just know your little videos will become a major part of my week as I use them to help me overcome and hold back the demise of my memory. John Pops.
I am a piano teacher and I appreciate the pace and length of your tutorials. You keep to the lesson and throw in helpful hints but don’t waste any time chatting! So...thank you.. I think you are awesome! Ms.Donna
I'm taking ukulele face to face lessons and fingerpicking came up. I came home and tried to do it but learned an awesome skill. PINKY! Put the PINKY on the face below the sound hole. OMG that was epic. I did your first lesson and is going to your Day 2 next. Thank you for your tutorials.....🤩
I have been fingerpicking almost exclusively since I started ukulele about 1 1/2 year ago. Your kickoff with travis picking was a surprise. It is something I want to learn to. I find it challenging but your comment about inside/outside string visualization was very helpful. You are a wonderful teacher Kevin. Thank you for helping me to up my game
wow I feel like attending online class... and the teacher made me hook and stay focus. "We gonna do it slow.. and then we gonna do it fast." .. "ok this time is twice..." i really nodding to whatever you are saying. Thank you :)

Thank YOU! If you’re interested in more learning tools to accompany these lessons, drop by my new site. I have practice tracks, song sheets, and worksheets available for you that will really help you improve your skills. All the best - Kevin | www.allforuke.com/lessons
I think I can get this now, being inspired by you, as a continuing beginner. I find it a comforting challenge using your expert detailed finger placement and paced lessons. Just what I was needing. Thanks Kevin.
Good to hear! I was trying to keep it consistent w/ the strumming series as far as format goes. Any other things you'd like to see (or know more about) in this series?
I've finished the Step Up Your Strumming Series so now I'm here. 😀 Just want to let you know you're a wonderful teacher and thank you so much for all the work you've been putting through all these videos. I make sure to watch and finish the ads completely when they come. ❤️ From The Philippines
☺️☺️ thank you! Best of luck with this series. If you’d like more learning resources, check out my new site. All the best - Kevin www.allforuke.com/lessons
Been playing the uke for about 7 months now, youtube and selftaught. Never really felt comfortable enough to try fingerpicking but this first video gave me confidence to try and at least dip into it. Going to go through the 5 days and see where it gets me :-) Thanks a lot !
Wow, I just learned how to play chords and fingerpick at the same time. Im trying to learn ukulele since a week or so. That dog tail, too cute. Knew I had to subscribe. Love your style of teaching and positive vibes. Bless you all!
Yup, just playing the bottom of the chords for this play along so the focus can remain on the picking hand rather than thinking about moving full chords.
@@AllForUke It quite disturbed me to hear it didn't sound the same on your uke and on mine. Maybe would it be a good idea to tell us you're doing it differently than what you said...
Thanks Kevin! just found this channel - have been playing the Uke for a nearly a year and kept shying away from finger picking, but a friend nudged me to give it a try, so here I am! day 1 x2, so far so good!
I'm so excited! I actually dedicated April to learning fingerpicking and I was made so much progress. Especially the beginning was hard, but as soon as I got good at one pattern the others also got easier. I then found out you also have a fingerpicking series and I actually managed to play along with you here!! That makes me so happy!! I might want to do the whole 5 days of fingerpicking for the reminder of april, just to see how good I can get until the month is over. I can't emphasize enough how rewarding it is to see gradual improvement and speed in playing an instrument. I have been so committed ever since I bought my baritone uke this year, and I always find more reasons not to want to put it away. Thank you so much for providing your incredibly helpful tutorials! :D
Found your channel and I am doing the intro to fingerpicking. I am new to the Uke and enjoying it very much. I am retired and I pick up my Ukulele every day and pick some notes on yousician and then I go to your channel and practice my fingerpicking. I like your instruction style. I am a retired science teacher and I have just completed my first Ukulele. It was made with the help of a woodworking laser in my workshop. I have the inside outside finger sequence down pat, it is my chord transition speed that needs work. Thanks for your help.

I like how you take the time to play slowly even though you could clearly play it in a second. It really helps me to take the time to practice slowly. Also you look like Chandler from the serie Friends :p
I am in awe of JESUS & all the gifts & abilities HE bestowed upon you Kevin. I am most grateful for these basic instructions for fingerpicking. Easier to progress as I practice. I bless you in the name of JESUS for all you do for the benefit of all Ukulele Musicians!!!
I just started learning ukulele 5 days ago and stumbled upon your page, your teaching is very easy to follow and thoroughly explained. Great teacher!! Thank you!
You're very welcome! If you're looking for more learning resources, drop by my site and check out the song sheets, chord charts, tabs and lesson worksheets. We also have a nice library of practice tracks that you can play along with to practice these lessons. Thanks for learning with me! - Kevin | www.allforuke.com/lessons
I have had lots of group classes where instruction isn't always specific, I love your approach to picking, something I am fascinated with and hope to get better at performing. thank you
Kevin, how much time do you think someone should plan to devote to each "day" before they actually have it? It took me a few weeks to go through your strumming course, and truthfully I'm still not very good at using the strums in actual songs, although it was a really helpful spaced rundown.
Hey Danielle - it basically comes down to this: the more time you spend w/ the instrument in your hands, the more comfortable and confident you're going to become with it. That will show up in your playing and you'll feel more like you 'have it." I like to start my day with some practicing and then play/practice sporadically throughout the day whenever I have a few minutes. It's just more time with the ukulele in my hands. For the strumming series, space out the 7 days for as long as you want. Maybe just focus on one or two patterns for a while and try to play them with a song. When you have them down add a new pattern/song. Thanks so much for asking a great question!
Hi danielle, i finished kevin's 7day strumming in 2days. Try the song cant help falling in love and learn his strumming pattern DDU UDU so u get the urge to learn all 7days vid for not too long :)
Hi Kevin I am going back to the kickstart and strumming series. I am amazed by how much I have absorbed through these few weeks. I am also amazed by how much I can learn the second time through. As for the video set, I miss seeing the birds in the old set. Plus, you need to have some art on the wall. Stephen M
I have a question: Why is it that when you are playing the F and D7 chord, you aren't pressing the 4th string?? Please someone help me I am really confused
Thanks for this Kevin, I've recently taken up the uke and love learning finger style, your lesson technique is brilliant, I will practice this before I move to lesson 2. Thanks again.
I am thrilled to have found this site! Wow! What a great teacher you are, Kevin! I got so much more from this lesson than any other I've checked out!! Looking forward to getting good on this little music machine!
Hello my friend! So, from one Educator to another, I LOVE your teaching style. You are patient and repetitive with the sequences. With my adult ADHD, it has been so easy to follow along and see my progression in skills, on my uke. I did want to point out that, as you are doing your chord progression, you have an F chord in there that should be an Am chord. I kept playing it, retuned my uke, double checked that I wasn't mixing up my chords and I couldn't figure out, for the life of me, WHY my didn't sound like yours. Then, I slowed down your video and noticed that you only had your finger on the Am chord and that your index finger was not even touching the top string, like it would in the F chord. This threw me for a loop. Just happy I figured it out! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR AMAZING LESSONS! :)
Thank you for posting this. I found this helpful as a new player. The way you lead us into the practices was simple and easy to understand. It was great you inserted little tips here and there. In addition, you spoke in a clear and structured manner. It was a little confusing when we got to play the F and D7 chords cos they sounded different. But some of the comments below elucidated the reason. Thank you again and I will be watching your next video.
Great, detailed lessons. Very helpful in getting started in fingerpicking. Thank you for explaining and showing hand right hand positioning, that has helped so much.

This is great because I was trying to figure out finger picking on my own and was using my pinky for a brace and was sure I was doing it wrong. Can't wait to get to work these next five days with a proper guide!
Thanks for this series! I’m a beginner doing another online course and this fits in perfectly- as they say at my kids’ school it adds “depth and complexity”. I really appreciate your detailed presentation of positioning and technique as well as keeping the chords very simple.
I'm all about getting more people playing ukulele. Showing everyone things I've learned is the least I can do. How's the first pattern coming along for you?
Thanks for the lessons! They are very clear and fun to practice along. Love the chord progressions you choose to learn the fingerpicking method. Thanks again.
Hey everyone - just checking in to see how this series is coming along for you. What do you find to be the most difficult aspects of fingerpicking thus far? Which patterns have you conquered a bit faster? I love hearing from you all so let me know, k? ~Kevin

The dog is vibing so cuteee and you're so good at teaching thank you.
It is awesome that you go slow for us newbies. It makes me feel dorky to practice alone, and to the contrary, it is very nice to have a real person to play along with.

Hi from the UK.. I have diagnosis of early onset dementia so I decided to keep my brain cells oiled as long as possible by learning to play one of these… What a minefield of teachers in UA-cam..? So, watched you and it sunk in straight away, and more importantly for me it stayed! I can’t thank you enough. Blessings and just know your little videos will become a major part of my week as I use them to help me overcome and hold back the demise of my memory. John Pops.
New here. Quarantine has allowed me time to pick up my uke again after a couple years. Thanks for the lessons!
same here! good luck--it's such a good feeling to pick it back up and use any spare time we have to get better :)
Sameeee😂😂😂
We are at the same situation. Sad....
Hahahah what im in right now 🤣
Another quarantined learner here. At least we get something positive out of it.
This guy had me on his lips for 18 whole minutes, and I can now play myself to sleep with these relaxing fingerpicking tunes
I’m loving this. You break it down nice and slowly, but not too slow.😊
At this point, I'm not even holding my uke. I'm just here, lying on my bed at 3am :))
Me at 3:22 AM ;))
@@haleema_azad me at 3:44 am
Me @3.8

So true broo like seriously we get interest only when the time is not for play
Best ukulele lesson I have ever seen on the UA-cam thank you
I am a piano teacher and I appreciate the pace and length of your tutorials. You keep to the lesson and throw in helpful hints but don’t

Great job. Well organized. Effective. Kudos and thanks.

You had me totally confused!! You never mention in the video that the G string is open throughout! I thought my uke was totally out of tune!!
Sir Kevin, you're the best so far that I have watched. thank you/
This is my first ukulele. This lesson was amazing for a beginner like me. I can’t wait to see my progress as I watch the lessons to come. Great job!!!

This is awesome! I love it that you emphasize going s-l-o-w, it makes a significant difference to my catching the moves.
It's so important and goes such a long way. How's the pattern coming along for you?
Kevin,
Love your style and the pace of your tutorials. Thank you.
Thank you. I'm just a beginner, still getting the hang of it. Your tutorial helped me a lot. Off to practice. Love from India. ❤

On the F and the D7 I can tell by the sound you are playing the G string open. Is that the way we should be doing it?
Yup, just playing the bottom of the chords for this play along so the focus can remain on the picking hand rather than thinking about moving full chords.

Okay i thought it was just me.. I thought my uku was tuned incorrectly or something I was trying to figure it out 😂 like did I break it ?

@ 7:25 got me,
You are a great coach, Kevin. Exactly what I am looking for. Thank you
I love finger picking more than strumming 😁
I love combining them
Me too!

I love how you explain & go slowly.I also like that u explain finger placement

Thank you! Your lesson here is a revelation, so glad I found you.
Thank you so much Kevin - I'm really enjoying this lesson. If I use a metronome what speed to set for the slow and fast tempos.
Hi - I would go 60-70bpm for slow and 80-90 for faster: thanks so much!

I'm all about getting more people playing ukulele. Showing everyone things I've learned is the least I can do. How's the first pattern coming along for you?
