5 Day Series | Ukulele Fingerpicking Patterns | Day 5 | Tutorial + Play Along

[@shakhawathossain6415]

Please do a new fingerpicking series kevin. Loved the 5 days series.

[@cynthiabeen7870]

Your fingerpicking was awesome, when I practice I start with day 1, move up the ladder, then pick a few songs I've been working on and trying first strumming, your strumming 7 day series ,then 2nd time fingerpicking. You're series are just awesome, and just love your teaching style!

[@amyhughes8629]

You are a fantastic teacher. I have owned a ukulele for almost 2 weeks and after watching your videos, I am feeling so confident that buying one was the right choice. I am spending all my free time playing on it and it's improved my mental health so much. Everyone is amazed how fast I have progressed, myself included! I love your teaching style, thank you for everything. :)

[@CousinAAE]

Coming to this a few years late, but wow, what a great series of tutorials. Thanks Kevin.

[@tuckeroo59]

You are such a humble unpretentious teacher. Patient and consistent throughout. Giving out so many clues and never giving in to your music ego by racing ahead, yet passionate in your playing

[@bekacynthia]

My ukulele has never sounded so beautiful. Thanks for those lessons, it was fun!

[@2408bertrand]

Merci beaucoup ! You'are the best uku teacher I found on youtube, very clear and professional :) even if I am french your english are very easy to understand as well, thanks a lot for this 5 days fingerpicking

[@lucywelker7825]

I love this series! As a music educator I commend your pacing and progression through the fingerpicking process. It was so easy to follow along. Can’t wait to watch the others!

[@veronicafernmoss4537]

Awesome picking pattern!!! This is a fabulous series!! of the many uke teachers on youtube you, Kevin, stand out. I so appreciate how you make lessons truly accessible to beginners. It's much more fun to practice -and then I'm excited to play/practice more - when I can actually get it. Thank you sooooo much xoxoxoxo

[@anjuvideos]

Loved the finger picking series.Please do a series with simple songs with tabs

[@abcdefghijklmneha]

So happy that I found this channel

[@annemaryrussell2239]

This series was so helpful, thank you so much for teaching us all these fantastic patterns, I can't wait to try them in some songs!

[@davehickey2293]

This series has been great. I've been through it twice and plan to go through it a few more times. Where I'd really appreciate going from here is, "integrating fingerpicking with chords - how does one mix the two in a song, such as Joni Mitchell's 'Circle Game'?" Something along that line. Thanks for this great series!

[@upasana4763]

Loved the series. Very happy.

[@lisacompton3661]

Absolutely loved this fingerpicking course Kevin. You are such a good teacher, thank you so much. As a beginner I found them all challenging but with slow repetition very do-able and enjoyable. It would be great to learn some simple songs with tabs and also maintenance of our ukes would be helpful. Very best wishes to you and your family and all my fellow uke players all around the World. Keep safe.

[@friscomk]

Fantastic thanks. yes, would love some song suggestions to go with finger picking

[@georgejohnson9718]

Great series Kevin, thank you. Would be fantastic if you could suggest a couple of songs that go well with each pattern.

[@debbie9095]

Amazing series - I had so much fun! Hope you have more fingerpicking tutorials (songs?) in the future! :)

[@snehapanja5534]

Just loved this series❤️

[@mrahmanpotter]

Thanks Kebin. I play everything you teach along with your videos and then I take notes in my ukulele notebook. I took several lessons in a single day and practice all of them later days continuously. I don't think I would able to strum anything good in my ukulele if I don't have your lessons. Thanks again. -from Bangladesh.

Thank you Kevin Just watched while in bed 5.45 Western Australian time. Love it now ready to print out and get started. Thank you so much for the effort and you must put into making it possible us to get a grasp on learning to play the uke. Thank you again. Just love the Akalot ukelele thank you for showing me it. Can’t wait to see what you have next. Regards Norm

[@AllForUke]

Hey Norm - very much appreciate you learning with me. This is a really fun pattern and we're just scratching the surface of fingerpicking. Did you just recently pick up an Akalot uke? I really have been enjoying the bamboo and will be receiving a solid mahogany top tenor from them very soon. You may see it in the barre chord series :)

[@normanmundy2565]

[@nanaeuamsc]

Kevin, thank you! I love finger picking patterns. I use the ones I new from acoustic guitar but I would not say I am advanced. Not a beginner though. I found the second class easier than the first. But the third pattern will have me studying it for a little longer to get the grip. But it is the most beautiful one! Thank you so much!

[@jasneskis]

I can play some cords, I can do some strumming. I can count and do cords and strumming. All at beginner level. I cannot put lyrics to cords and strumming. I really have a hard time singing the lyrics with the cords and strumming. I don’t know if it will come or a series would be worth creating showing how to sing and play. I appreciate all your efforts. Many thanks.

[@05afnanabdullah87]

How are you doing now? As a beginner i am curious. :)

[@Islandgirl1948]

Hi Kevin, I much prefer Finger Picking to Strumming but don't know which FP pattern to apply to songs. As others have suggested, could you pick a song and do a FP Tutorial on it. Many thanks for another excellent series. I love them all but this is my favourite.

[@jefffaucette8050]

Just joining in today, 10/5/2020. Really appreciate the clarity of explanation with just enough detail before jumping in to practice picking. A little challenging for me at first as I just purchased a new Kala baritone uke of Ziricote wood, which is tuned DGBE. You are teaching to GCEA so I have to use fingerings that are different just to make it sound in tune with you. That's ok, because I must adjust. I'm getting there. Great lessons. I look forward to more. Thanks.

[@AllForUke]

[@TerryClarkAccordioncrazy]

Should you see what you're playing? As an accordion player I got used to absolutely not seeing what I'm doing and relying on feel.

Having feel is the best, but having a visual for precision on the fretboard is even better. For more learning resources such as practice tracks, song sheets, and exclusive content, drop by the AllForUke community site and have a look around. All the best - Kevin | allforuke.com

[@daveh1663]

I keep muting strings when trying the more complicated chords. Is there a way that I can seat my fingers to prevent that from happening?😂

Push your thumb lower on the back of the neck so you can get up on your fingertips more. That will help!

Fantastic series, I did it one day at a time, instead of bulk learn and I can honestly say my skills have improved so much, thank you

[@caylynnl]

Hi! I enjoyed this series - it was easy to follow. I know you mentioned briefly about applying these to songs, but I was hoping you could give a couple ideas. There are some songs that come to mind with these patterns - such as “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, obviously - but when I go to apply these picking patterns to those chords, it just doesn’t work. Too many repetitious notes. Also, would you usually use the same picking pattern for an entire song? Would you even necessarily pick for the whole song, or do you intersperse some strumming as well? I apologize if these questions have already been asked, but there are way too many comments to read through! Thanks again for creating the series.

[@robertdaviddonaldson637]

I really enjoyed this course and I am just going to keep going from day 1 to day 5 each day until I am proficient. Thank you.

[@josephsantana3094]

Uke maintenance and barre chord series would both be awesome. Would also be great if you expanded on some of the previous series by doing series intermediate strumming, fingerpicking, ect to grow on some of the foundational stuff we've learned in so far in these series videos. They dont have to be as long, maybe 3 parts rather than the usual 5+.

Like the idea of a Ukulele maintenance series. Very much liked the fingerpicking. Please keep them coming.

[@bobreid9146]

Thanks so much, Kevin, for a great finger picking series which I have just completed. I will, of course, have to keep practicing daily in order to make it part of my muscle memory. What I would really like to have Kevin, is a number of tunes which I can play with finger picking and then I can add those to my list of songs to play with more than just strumming, if you know what I mean. I would be fabulous to create a series for fingerpicking which would be songs to be played by fingerpicking in all those patterns that you have taught. We could all then just go to those songs when we want to play for someone in a picker picking style. What do you say? And you could also create more series, with actual songs, for the other lessons that you have already taught, such as blues, etc. We need a bunch, beyond just Chicago blues. I dying to see how to apply these things directly to some great songs, which you could teach. Thanks.

Excellent series Kevin, I very much enjoy learning and practicing your lessons. I went throught the whole series of "Step up your strumming" "Ukulele Kichstart" and "Fingerpicking". Your teaching is the best I found for myself after serious research. Even after finishing each of the courses, I go back to practice through every series, and here is a suggestion: Let's take "Step Up Your Strumming" 7 lessons course as an example. I wish there was an additional lesson called "Revision lesson" where I could find the top cord sequences from lesson One to lesson Seven. That would be so practical and helpful! Thanks again Kevin and keep up the great work!!!

[@ramjet0549]

Thanks for the instruction. How about transitions. I am having trouble with G 0232 to Dm 2210 getting the fingers down together for the first beat at a quite quick dudu

[@AllForUke]

I would remove my picking hand from the equation and solely practice that chord change with your fretting hand for a while. Practice landing with all of your fingers at once since there are no shared fingers to pivot with. Once you get comfortable with the chord change then slowly introduce the picking pattern. Hope this helps Robert - thanks for learning with me - Kevin
