Just play what sounds good, find a pattern and stick with it! Sometimes it will sound pleasant to end on the bass note of the chord, other times the opposite may be so, it really depends on the song you are playing.įor future reference in this article we will label the strings as such: Grab your Uke and play the chords C-G-F, but instead of strumming, pick your way through them. If you are still having trouble with that you may want to hold off on fingerpicking for awhile, otherwise it is difficult to be focusing on both hands at the same time. One of the keys to fingerpicking is actually having memorized your chords and being able to switch quickly back and forth in a progression. Below we will discuss some basics on fingerpicking, however there is nothing wrong with just doing whatever works for you.
