I agree! It's a lovely chord! :)

_Notice Marco's dynamics._ Some notes are accented, and some notes are brushed lightly, almost ghosted. That provides the sweet syncopation of the finger-picking, and brings out the melody. If your fingernails are just the right length, you can get a lot of sensitivity by choosing how much of each pluck is from the fleshy ball of the fingertip, and how much is from the fingernail. You will never get this from thinking too much about it. It is more about feel, listening to your own playing, and feedback. Your brain will grow the new necessary neural pathways while you are sleeping.

On point!!! Marco should be mentioning this as well.

[@shem15]

The way the sound is transitioning between the chords is so amazing

I got my ukulele almost 4 years ago and gave up on it after one year due to the lack of calming, beautiful sounds like this one. I have now retrieved it from its dusty box and tuned it back up because of your video. Thank you so much for this!

[@MarcoCirilloUkulele]

Wow. I am glad you are back playing! Good luck with your progress ☀️🎸

[@leaha.378]

I just got my first ukulele... four days ago, haha ... and this is the first thing I've been learning how to play alongside chords. I wouldn't say it's been easy but it hasn't been insurmountable. And I love how a lot of your videos are rooted in simplicity and the fundamentals. For a beginner, like me, they've been so motivating - it makes me want to establish a stronger foundation in new and interesting ways, instead of defaulting to song books before understanding things like progressions. Thank you so much for sharing, I've been learning a lot from you in a short amount of time already! ☺️

Thank you so much for the lesson, Marco ! I began my practice on August 10th, so I’m an absolute beginner and I enjoy particularly your lessons since they are so different from the usual vids for beginners. I mean I like to play Hallelujah and Over the rainbow, but this cords progression is my favorite. I play it every day for 1 hour, and I’m improving my practice with an awesome melody !!! Thank you so very much for sharing this awesome melody ❤. Big HI from France 🇫🇷

I really like this pattern with its particular fingering (adding the pinky on the 3d fret-1st string (Am and F chord) This is the secret ingredient in this pretty fingerpicking piece.

[@leonardogutierrez2059]

I like how he was just smiling at the uke while playing. You can tell he really loves playing this

[@antiyas-6554]

Thanks for the video! So i tried this and for some reason on my (probably cheaper) Ukulele, the G chord at the end doesn't quite sound nice. So i tried something else and for everyone having similar issue, try E7 for the last chord. It gives the progression a whole different feel but still sound really really nice. E7: 1 2 0 2

[@Ozrockerie]

That’s a lovely picking pattern. Thank you for sharing it.

[@dbruinslot]

Not too difficult at all, I’ve owned my uk two weeks and can do this… my only confusion is that almost none of his chord versions match my little cheat sheet, so I hope it doesn’t confuse me later when I play C7, Am, and F. It sure sounds beautiful, I’ll be strumming this I think during private worship. I love the minor chords especially for worship. 😍

do you keep your right hand finger nails longer than your left for easier fingerpicking because i immediately noticed how long they were compared to the left hand.

Yes. I started with classical Guiar so I got used to playing with fingernails.

Do you ever use the pinkie when playing a chord? There are certain chords I use my pinkie for such as B(9) and it sounds nice but I’m not sure it’s the right technique.
