Fingerpicking

Learn some basic fingerpicking patterns to change the dynamics of the tunes you play. We will
go over good fingerpicking techniques so your body is in a good ergonomic position to play
and doesn’t create tension in the neck, shoulder, or wrist. We will learn a four finger forward
roll and how to apply it to Bob Dylan’s Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright and a forward reverse roll
to play Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.

One of the virtues of the ‘ukulele is learning just how much we can do with so little. We take it one step further and focus on just 3 strings at a time to help visualize the fretboard a bit differently; with constraints. We’ll walk through a small tune and do some finger-picking to help train our fingers and ears to traverse the fretboard. High G and Low G friendly :) 

An introduction to the clawhammer technique! Want to play your ukulele like a banjo but don’t know where to begin? Don’t worry, it’s not as hard as you might think. We’ll break it down finger by finger and by the end of the session you’ll be plucking away (slowly...) with the best of them!
