Holy shiyy , 9 years ago Here i am in 2020, try to practice my uke in this pandemic shiyy

[@LillaMartin]

So many people that say 'dam you make me wanna quit and throw away my instrument.' but i say instead... wow you make me wanna play even more with my ukulele. You inspire me. Everytime im not working on a song i sit and just do these techniques, and it have given me so good resaults in just 1 week. Thanks alot! More techniques!!!

[@Margareth20648]

This is the best finger picking that I have ever seen so far! Thank you so much!

[@lilaviator1]

This is phenomenal, thank you so much! Although I feel sooo slow compared to you. However, I'm going to leap in and trust that over time, I will continue to pick up speed. I hope. Anyhow, really loved the tutorial, can't thank you enough!

[@theboyjames3065]

Sounds like “a whole new world” in Disney’s Aladdin. Magical. Awesome skills. Keeps me motivated to keep practising with uke! Thank you!

[@MsNickie1001]

Very nice Cory! Thanks, this will keep me busy for a while!

[@thelmalewis7870]

Wow just come across this , took up playing my uke 2020, love the finger picking style. Iam retired so this is a great to be back with music again. Awesome session

[@jonasgroh5762]

Your uke sounds amazing!!

[@isad5666]

Just got a banjolele and wanted to learn some new picking techniques. This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you so much :)

[@JoLeng205000]

You are the super clear and easy to understand ukulele player!

[@david1575cm7]

THis is a great video man thank you. There aren't enough of these medium-high techniques.. they others are either too easy or too hard.. this is money in the middle!! Keep them coming. Ive been playing for 10 months.. this helped expand my repitoire.. lol

[@dahniuru]

Great lesson. I practice each of the pick patterns during commercials if I'm watching TV just to get my right hand working properly. It took about a week, 30+ minutes per day, just to learn them; picking slowly for the first couple of days before even trying to build up speed. Since I don't much care for TV, I sit on the patio and watch the squirrels while picking.

[@852AKong]

VERY nice and helpful thank you

[@chizniky]

Thanks for motivating me to learn more picking patterns!!

[@RcjThelol]

Thanks for these techniques. I just ordered my ukulele and i'm already testing my fingers on my old air ukulele.

[@batmanandrobin250]

RcjThelol Did you ever learn this technique?

[@batmanandrobin250]

Did you ever learn the techniques in this video?

[@turtlesoup672]

Update?

[@Wladimir578]

How long do I have to practice to get skills like you? I've been playing uke for about 2 years and I'm trying to learn something harder, so your lessons are really great for me. Good job

[@redt-rex3808]

Youve been lenient. Push

[@AstroSalamander]

​@@redt-rex3808lmao

[@minzapfeffer4710]

thank you for this amazing video! you play incredibly well

[@Kwood10]

Nice Cory thanks ! I hope you give more lessons in the future.

[@glecko9241]

Perfect level of difficulty. Thanks a lot for your tutorials

[@JoLeng205000]

We love your teaching! Please come Singapore to open a school!

[@lamp3515]

Finally I found this! THank you!

[@Uke4U2]

Great tutorial. Speedy fingers.

[@BeeBait]

Just started learning to play the ukulele on March the 6th, Saturday when I broke my heart. I'll try to get this down soon. I want to make the ukulele sound like my innermost cries. Mahalo, hope you're doing well!

[@deeman524]

really separates the sound of the Uke from other instruments

[@tombrooks4167]

Your ukulele has such a great tone! What kind of strings do you use?

[@willimaese5843]

great tutorial thanks man!

[@MsNickie1001]

Wow, that's fabulous! Thank you.

[@juddeemaxwell7590]

Thanks, Corey.

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

@chizniky I think we will explore that more soon with the tutorial on "lets dance".Stay tuned. Until then, just practice that 1st and middle finger plucking the A string twice for every one thumb stroke.

[@HelenOlivas]

Thank you for this!

[@Frank233FJ]

Sounds like Stranger Things intro 😂 great 😁

[@itsmejerkface]

Third Second Fourth First Fourth Second...then back to Third.

[@enbardis]

thanks lol much easier to read it

[@itsmejerkface]

Yeah, I'm a visual learner. (:

[@nanettegalang7826]

[@TheNightTriker]

It’s really just picking the strings in their open note order. On a High G ukulele, the 4th string really fits between the 1st & 2nd

[@johnnygibbs8181]

i saw this video about a year ago and have been casualy practicing it since. i have no idea how he gets so fast

[@armanj4514]

hows it goin now

[@thanhngo3667]

My ears go “yeah” My fingers go “no” The speed is crazy

[@tolraan]

thank you so much!!

[@Racheleio]

Thank you very much!

[@amarant9634]

thanks to you man

[@batmanandrobin250]

what tuning is he in during the first pattern? I'm in GCEA and his E string (or what should be the E) sounds very different than mine when playing the staircase C maj. 7 chord. Does anybody know what tuning he is in?

[@08015647d]

love you!

[@jameswebber-salmon7105]

These are all in 6/8. Can you put that in the title description please, as Im looking for 4/4 finger picking patterns

[@k.p.6444]

so very nice :-) thank you

[@majapanasewicz2625]

THANK YOU! I normally don't use caps lock, but damn, this tutorial improved my playing a lot:))

[@spicycurry1190]

Wow!!!!! Awesome!!!!

[@steeltunes]

Totally cool.

[@a.wilkins1708]

I'm glad you rest your pinky on the uke for support too. I got told off for doing that by someone who teaches the uke (not me though).

[@rodericksibelius8472]

Hi Corey, is that a TENOR Ukelele, and what BRAND / MANUFACTURER is it... Would love to take lessons from You. Thanks.

[@guybartlett9587]

thank you

[@aremieroll1990]

is there any software for ukulele like 'guitarpro'?

[@letitsnowization]

"Of course, you'll have to pratice that first" well put man

[@4baggin]

I would luv to see this done on low G

[@Guitarm4n99]

awesome video i sound like a pro now

[@Fujiman808]

@Goosy321 Yeah I think the strings may have slipped a little. I put those strings on that day.

[@cam2994]

what type of strings do you use?

[@uttamkrishnan1183]

What songs can i play with this fingerpicking technique please

[@i701Dev]

What uke is he using?

[@premasru]

Ah yes, thank you. Your reply to someone 3 years ago was, " Practice 1st and middle finger the A string twice for every one thumb stroke" That's what I was looking for, to know.

[@Guitarm4n99]

What kind of strings are on that uke

[@emilygrace1960]

I would give the world to learn how to play my ukulele like I sit down and play the piano - or similar to how people would play a classical guitar. Soooo many youtube channels on here that are great for chording and singing along, but I'd sure love to learn a finger picking style to simply sit down and enjoy just playing pretty songs on my ukulele. Do you offer that? (I'm looking for actual videos that teach how to play popular songs with finger picking...)

[@Hacks536]

I know this is a year old , but you should really search up finger style ukulele if you wanna play songs like that Also, I see some advanced strumming patterns n KZbin that are absolutely amazing to play, I know not the same thing , but the advanced stuff really get you somewhere Also just because it’s advanced doesn’t mean it’s hard. Some of them are way more beautiful than the so called ‘basic strums’

[@thelmalewis7870]

Hi Could you show the tab on screen, in the order you pick the strings please.

[@pondza999]

-ขอบคุงคับจะไปฝึกบ้างคับ

[@Fujiman808]

@Goosy321 Thank you!

[@mekhoisup]

effortless

[@AnthonyGargini]

Whoa

[@matyaskrejci1259]

my jaw just dropped when you said we can do it faster

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

@jlaci tenor

[@johnygamingNL]

How the quality so good its 10 years ago

[@chizniky]

I was wondering if you could go more in depth with a flamenco lesson? Or maybe you already have it on the site somewhere?

[@rusta1]

R u using low G string?

[@gillisclarke3764]

It's high, use your ears man

[@lalit8674]

1:14 "speed and strength in your fingers". I looked at my palm 1:19 it went 0-100 within a second, beware its Need for Speed : uku version

[@LaraTang]

The bit from 1:37 made me think of Starlight Express!

[@SteveMartinUSA]

Where can we find a lesson for "on fire, pure heart"? That sounds like a great application to practice these exercises.

[@mxDragon18]

I know right? they should put up a tab of gerudo valley

[@aimak3]

3241 4123?

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

@Goosy321 GCEA

[@boboi670]

[@jodiezhao7316]

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

Nothing on my anatomy has ever moved that fast

[@andrzejjankowski2372]

POZDRAWIAM . POLAND . WARSAW .

[@jhelumroy538]

[@neerajpandeyrocks]

[@8000cheese]

[@michaelbonner5397]

[@I_am_w_I_am]

It doesn't work with low G (((

[@manus.572]

Денис Загребельный of course it does

[@lindsayhayford2204]

N

[@MrFredzzz]

ok....I don't have a pinky...O.o

[@DaleDriven]

this looks hard to do. lol

[@LeoFeliT]

@510musicmaker hard??? that's impossible!! hahahhahah

[@1theguitarfreak]

It's not the same pattern but...

[@AileenEverlast]

Wow, you are cute! Wish you were my personal uke teacher, I'd pay you in kisses ❤️💗

[@spartan4732]

honestly you're a great ukulele player, but a terrible teacher. you need to slow it wayyyy down and put up a tab so that us viewers can follow along without having to rewind the video constantly to see what the heck you're playing.

[@vanceoliver]

@HawaiiMusicSupply Yeh you might be a tad out of tune.. maybe. But aesome lessons

[@mikelheron20]

If you're teaching finger picking it would be more sensible to use easier chords.

[@pelitilini6737]

'Advanced Fingerstyle'

[@herbertwells8757]

No, do NOT rest your fifth finger (or ANY finger) on the body of the instrument. What kind of idiot, by the way, calls the index finger a "pointer" finger? That's sickening.

[@kamuq7597]

why not? are u better then him he is more qualified then u i bet

[@gonnzoGonnzales]

shut up herbert

[@Oprah30]

Herbert Wells lol whoa.. take it easy Steve vai..

[@novaman8534]

Silly boy. It's not the index finger. It's the booger hook.

[@happyplucker5515]

Herbert Wells totally wrong Herbie old chap. Anchoring the finger ensures stability in volume and intonation and has little if no effect on overall sound projection.
