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. :)

[@annekedegroot-bertina8054]

Hi Kevin, since 2 months I am following your lessons. I got my first uke for my 72 th birthday in august and never played any instrument before. You have great way of teaching. It is not easy, especially at my age, but I am playing daily and having a lot of fun! Thanks a lot! Greetings from The Netherlands.

[@CousinAAE]

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

[@lynnemarriott8755]

Agree with Richard putting the picking to actual songs would be brilliant 😊

[@anjuvideos]

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

[@DieterLo1]

Thanks! Very good teaching! Greetings from Germany!

[@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.

[@AllForUke]

Keep it up Thanks so much for learning with me. If you like this, grab the practice tracks and pdfs from the AllForUke site. - Kevin | allforuke.com/lessons

You're very welcome and thank you for becoming part of our KZbin family! Practice slow and pay attention to achieving the best tone possible along the way. - Kevin | allforuke.com

[@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

[@99timewaster]

This was a nice series! Would be awesome to have level 2 or maybe do a fingerpicking series dedicated to blues, rock or jazz

[@bekacynthia]

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

[@crystallifecoaching4822]

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

[@MrLioneldsouza]

Kevin 🎸 I have learned fingerpicking from zero to hero with your 5 days learning pattern. What awesome lessons you crafted. Once again thanks a lot for helping the ukulele community. We will learn more down in the track. Good on you 😊

[@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

[@michaelr2969]

Another great series Kevin. Thank you. Barre cords are a challenge so any help would be appreciated. How about the proper use of a capo? I also like the idea of a series about uke maintenance. So much to learn.

[@AllForUke]

Thanks so much Michael - I think a barre chords series would be very beneficial right now. So much to cover :)

[@arundhati4084]

Loved this series!!!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AllForUke]

Have you checked out any of the others? Kickstart, Strumming, or Barre Chords? Pdfs on my site for this one too - Kevin www.allforuke.com/lessons

[@magbeauregard]

Thanks so much for the fabulous series. Your videos are super well organised for beginners with the right pace between comfortable learning and fun challenges! Thanks also for the constant reminder of how to properly hold the uke, the last video was a great reminder also to hold the uke tight!

[@peterhanlon8324]

Been in a ukulele group for a year. Excellent music leader (shame Uke players looked down on by the guitarists in our mixed group-all very subtle but there) Really enjoyed the beginning of picking-at one time I thought ‘I am doing it!’ The videos helped me commit time and effort

[@AllForUke]

Very cool! Thanks so much for learning with me. If you’d like more learning materials, drop by AllForUke. All the best - Kevin | allforuke.com

[@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+.

[@brianrevell8413]

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

[@MikeBrown-dk7or]

Really enjoyable, Kevin. I'm always up for a new fingerstyle series. A big thank you.

[@idave147]

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!!!

[@Novismom]

I have found this series really world opening! It breaks things down in a way that is doable and adds so much to the ukulele toolbox. Thank You.

[@AllForUke]

Thanks for learning with me Lea! Have you checked out the strumming series yet?

[@Novismom]

@@AllForUke Yep! One of the first ones I did when I began on 10/1/19. I'm 4 months in. Here's my progress as of this week. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmKxi2Z5mNNgipY

[@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!

[@stevegreve3487]

OUTSTANDING set of lessons, Kevin. Thank you very much!

[@abhishekechakrabortty5712]

Kevin,I completed this series a few months ago.It has improved my fingerstyle technique a lot!!!! These days,even if I see a bit difficult fingerpicking patterns,I'm not afraid! And,thank you for it! Love from Bangladesh ❤ 🇧🇩

[@brianrevell8413]

I would like a short series on Ukulele maintenance, and how best to set up nut and saddle hight. Many thanks to you Kevin.

[@pameladouglas7685]

Hey Kev, a quiet Thursday evening and i revisited this episode now that i have improved. This is such a great place to be, its so relaxing and lovely to tinkle with. This was before Covid and I’m so over the bad news TV. This is much preferable.

[@sultrysyl]

Your lessons are excellent and as an older person I appreciate your patience and diligence !

[@steffipaunikoski2795]

Thank you Kevin so much for this Ukulele Fingerpicking serie :) I have learned so much and enjoyed, still lots to practice but i enjoy all the uke-adventure! Looking forward to see more of your coming series! Always very helpful! Keep up the good work! ;) Greetings from Finland

I can't say I'm a good student but you are indeed a great teacher Kevin! Thanks much 💕

Hi Kevin, thanks for fun series. Some tutorials fingerpicking with some songs would be amazing.

[@Islandgirl1948]

More fingerpicking with a tune please Kevin. Loved this series, more please.

[@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

[@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!

Thanks so much for 5 vids on fingerpicking....this is gold! Helps me a lotttt. Greetings from Indonesia

[@X31-k9b]

Great series,thank you very much. This series was done about a year ago so I have seen that you did a barre set. I would like to see a series about maintaining the uke with changing the strings would be nice, I would like to see something like that from someone I trust to actually have experience at it. The amount of people that are on here teaching the ukulele when they just learned it two years ago is frightening,and yes it does show. Thanks again.

[@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.

[@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!

[@marciaoffhaus8310]

Changing those strings looks like it needs a series !

[@joaquinfolgado5800]

I loved this series! I am practicing every day and I see a huge improvement! Thanks a lot!!

[@benoaix]

+1 for Barre chords. Such another great series it was, with day 3 as tipping point for me. It all got much easier once I felt at ease with that specific day. Thanks again & looking forward to the next session!

[@laurendeetig]

loved this series!! This is a great starting point for learning finger picking thank you!!!!

[@abcdefghijklmneha]

So happy that I found this channel

[@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.

[@_mac_bob_]

It would be sick to see a series on adding finger percussion to songs 😊

[@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.

[@iohkyntinongspung9364]

Thank you Kevin.... I'm gonna practice it every day 😊

[@Harmonicsoul22]

Wow, I sound awesome! Thank so much for these fingerpicking tutorials. I’m finally doing it :)

[@Devoted2v]

Another great video, Kevin! Thanks a ton! I love this series and i've learned so much from you. I love practicing every day because every picking pattern sounds so beautiful the more I play it. I just have to work on being more consistent without losing the pace and pattern. Transition is also a challenge for me. I can't wait to progress through more of your videos. They're very easy to follow and informative in so many ways. Thanks for the tip about fingernail length. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@AllForUke]

Thank you Lily - makes me so happy to hear that you're ENJOYING PRACTICE. I think of it as playing and it never feels cumbersome. Keep that attitude and the sky's the limit. Consistency will come with more reps so just keep with it and you'll get to a comfortable place. Thanks for learning with me :) ~Kevin

[@AmandaSnoise]

These have been great, even four years later 😊

[@georgejohnson9718]

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

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 :)

[@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!

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.
