Today, I'm kicking off a 6-part video series on fingerpicking the ukulele solo. In this video, I teach you the fingerpicking technique you need to know to get started and an exercise you can begin to learn before I teach you how to play a fingerpicking solo. I'm also going to give you a brief overview of my approach of how I like to teach fingerpicking the solo so you have an idea of what to expect in this coming week. If you've always wanted to fingerpick your ukulele solo following simple steps, then you're going to love what I have in store for you.
A lot of ukulele players put off fingerpicking because they think it's a super-advanced style. Yes, there are some unique challenges that arise when learning to fingerpick, but with the right approach, I'm confident you can learn. I'm going to show you how to play your first fingerpicking solo across the fretboard in this 6-part series.
In preparation for the launch of my upcoming course "Fingerpicking Tricks", my goal for this 6-part series is to show you that you can fingerpick the ukulele in a way you've always wanted. In Fingerpicking Tricks, I'll be showing you how to fingerpick 24 individual songs in four distinct styles in as early as twelve weeks.
You'll learn things like:
1. How to fingerpick the ukulele in a relaxed, smooth manner with correct technique
2. How to fingerpick the ukulele in four distinct styles including chord melody
3. How to play twenty-four fingerpicking songs and pieces-everything from the classics, blues, and modern songs to Beethoven, Bach, Aguado, Tárrega, and more
4. How to play expressively and find your "voice" without singing
And much more...
Registration for Fingerpicking Tricks is opening soon. Click this link to get on the early-bird waitlist and you’ll be the first to know when I open enrollment:

I picked up the uke 2 years ago to play for my wife who had just gone into remission from cancer. We had never been to Hawaii and I wanted to take her and play a song for her there but then Covid hit. We had to cancel our trip in 2020 and then again in 2021 due to a mistake made by our travel agent BUT we have moved everything to June 2022. I think this gives me more time to play and prepare and now I'm ready to do more picking. Thanks for posting these lessons and I look forward to being able to pick some songs for her when we get to the islands. Take care and God bless. Thanks again.
