    A super demonstration of how to fingerpick Graham. I like how you emphasise how important it is to be patient and take your time when trying to mastering the skill - this video has certainly inspired me to give it a go.

    I’m sooo pleased that you’re using your thumb for both G and C strings, many teachers don’t and then ‘Travis’, type patterns become so much more difficult for us, late beginners. 🎶🤗🌷

    Thanks very much Graham - very good advice. I am inclined to get a wee bit disheartened with finger picking. More practise needed and patience! For 3/4:time is it 4,3,2,1,2,3? Many thanks and all the best.

    • @EagleUkes
      @EagleUkes  2 місяці тому +1

      Just keep at it Lisa but don't stress..it's not an essential skill..just playing your uke and having fun is the main thing....and yes for 3/4 or 6/8 songs the 432123 or 432132 pattern works really well...good luck..💞💕💖

    Hi Graham, I've never been a finger style player on guitar, I usually stuck to my plectrum although sometimes I'll pick a bass note with my thumb and pick out two or three strings with a single finger. I've never tried finger picking on a uke but I really must have a go. I was listening to you and thought the sound of a finger picked uke was very reminiscent of the sound of a harp and that would be perfect to accompany a nice Irish tune on the tin whistle.

    • @EagleUkes
      @EagleUkes  2 місяці тому

      Thanks Ian....the uke does sound very harp like when finger picked and greatly adds to its sound...I love mixing and matching in between strumming...thanks for watching and for your great comment...👍🙂🎶🥰

      @annatomasi9826 ...Yes I do Anna I much prefer the sound of having a Low G....I used to fit a Fremont Squeakless wound Low G string and my other strings were Aquila...but now Aquila do a set with a Low wound G which is fine and keeps the costs down....👍🎶🎵💖🥰
