Ukulele Lesson: Fingerpicking Blues Pattern #1

[riversidefurn]

love you and your videos brother! Peace!

[womanteria]

thanks :)

[letitsnowization]

hey brett thanks a lot for these videos (and website of course). one question: why do you recommend this exact assignment of the plucking fingers. i have gotten so used to the one you show in the your beginner video on fingerpicking (T-->4th, I-->3rd, M-->2nd, R-->1st), and it seems to be working just as well. cheers

[uketricks]

@letitsnowization great question! Either finger position works well. It's good to mess around with both. I chose to use this position for this blues fingerpicking pattern because it's common to alternate the bass notes with your thumb in the blues. In this way, it's a bit more intuitive to pluck the lowest C string on the ukulele (second to top string in standard tuning) with your thumb.
