Our journey continues as we learn to play fingerstyle ukulele solos with campanella passages, and beautiful chords as we learn lot's of cool tricks that will make you a better solo player.
Just like I do in my Christmas book: "A Ukulele for Christmas: Fingerstyle Solos," I'll show you both right and left hand fingerings!
Proper right hand fingering helps you play more efficiently, get some great new sounds and make for a much more beautiful performance.
In this piece we learn to pluck chords and dyads and we play a simple run with alternation of the the fingers on the right hand.
Tabs are on screen on the video with right hand fingering
WATCH (FUN TRICK AT THE END):
NOTES:
You may want to watch some fingerpicking videos first to understand how to hold the uke and proper right hand position as well as start to get those fingers moving...
Here are a few:
Top 5 Fingerpicking Patterns - here I demonstrate how to properly hold the uke and proper right hand position. The fingerpicking patterns make great exercises to get you ready for fingerstyle!
5 Next Level fingerpicking patterns - more patterns and more great exercises.
It is best to play along with the video to get this piece down with the proper fingering techniques.
Once you get the basic plucking of the chords down this ones a piece if cake.
