to Merle Travis for developing the form. Many other great pickers furthered the art form, how many can you identify on the cover of the book? One of the most important musical skills is to stay to stay on t he beat, especially when beat, especially playing with a group. This requires listening well and hearing whether you are in unison with your fellow players or if you require an adjustment. Timing is critical for fingerstyle ukulele. A fine blues musician, John Cephas once taught me to play as if your thumb (the driving force behind fingerpicking) is connected to your foot. Keep tapping your foot accurately and let your thumb follow. Watch professional musicians – nearly all will be tapping their toe (or heel) to the beat. So, practice tapping your foot to recordings of other musicians and then find your own pace and follow it. A metronome can help and several are available as free phone apps. Once you have worked your way through the introduction, you are ready to play a song using this new skill. Tap your toe and count the lead in - 1, 2, 3, _ go. Find a song that you like and try to master it, learning the key, chord progression and lyrics before you move on. You might begin with On the Road Again. Your beginning pace should be slow to make sure that you are playing the picking pattern correctly and can change chords in time to get the next pattern begun without changing the pace. Speed will come later as you build muscle memory. When you can hear that your fingerpicking has smoothed out, that’s progress. p rogress. You may develop this skill to the point that you don’t need to think about it at all but can simply “do it”. Songs like House of the Rising Sun or Dark Hollow are Hollow are good starters.

Most of the new challenges will be in your picking hand. For almost all situations, assign your thumb to strings 3 and 4. Play the second string with your index finger and the first string with your long finger. You may find that it helps to stabilize your hand position by resting your small finger on the top of your uke. You also should feel free to use thumb and 3 fingers, each assigned a string. Keep your hand in a compact shape so your fingers have a short distance to travel. In some cases, you may want to rest your finger tips on the strings, muting them until they are needed.

Your Song Song 41 41.. Fingerpicking Fingerpicking practice
Your fretting hand needs to have the chord formed and in place when the first note is played by your picking hand, so you may need to listen to your playing and identify when you can transition between chord shapes. Strategies for moving from one shape to another efficiently will serve you well in your strumming as well. You may want to play the song through, strumming first to get the chord progression and to have the sense of the whole song before working through the picking pattern. If it is a new one for you, seek an original version on YouTube and find the melody and the rhythm. Start with one chord shape and make sure you are playing the correct pattern – it will become automatic for you soon enough. This book was arranged using low G linear C6 tuning - gCEA. In some cases, these songs have been transposed from their original key on guitar to better fit the uke. Have fun,

Fingerstyle Heroes The cover has photos of many that furthered the art of fingerstyle guitar. We will never be able to thank these folks, but we should know who they are – on the cover are: Merle Travis Chet Atkins Thom Bresh Tommy Emmanuel Elizabeth Cotten Fred Neil Bob Dylan Jerry Reed Arnold Shultz Les Paul and Paul McCartney
Others not pictured Reverend Gary Davis Doc Watson Leo Kottke Roy Clark Mark Knopfler Have a favorite?
