If you want some further help with fingerpicking then IвЂ™d recommend taking a look at Terry CarterвЂ™s Fingerstyle Mastery video course. Using many familiar songs students learn common chord progressions for different musical. HereвЂ™s a good song to try your fingerpicking on. My ukulele lessons focus on rhythmic strumming and finger picking. Pick some easy songs that use 3-4 chords to begin with and rather than strum them, fingerpick your way through using the pattern youвЂ™ve just learned. Now youвЂ™ve got a simple ukulele fingerpicking pattern, apply it to some songs that you know the chords for. To combat this slow down to the speed that you can comfortably make the change and then speed the whole thing up as you get better. YouвЂ™ll probably find that initially you stutter a little at the point of the chord change. Play through the pattern above for C and then immediately switch to the F and play the pattern. Once youвЂ™ve got this solid, try and alternate between the C and the F. Again this shouldnвЂ™t be any trouble for you if youвЂ™re comfortable with the pattern. This should be easy for you, but again go for pure consistency. LetвЂ™s start with the ever popular C chord (third finger of the third fret, first string) playing the same pattern as before. Once youвЂ™re comfortable with the pattern and your picking hand is doing what it should you can start to introduce a few chords. Only increase your speed once youвЂ™re completely comfortable. Play slowly to begin with, aiming for a steady tempo that keeps the spacing between notes equal. That will give you a good starting position.
