This type of arrangement will vary from song to song because it is based on the melody and tempo of the song. You can also play fingerstyle arrangements that include the melody along with fill notes. You can play fingerpicking patterns as accompaniment while you sing instead of strumming, or you can mix it up by strumming in some places in a song and fingerpicking in other places. Of course the picking patterns have to be modified a bit because of the different number of strings on the uke. ![]() This 3-finger style of picking has been commonly used by fingerstyle guitarists such as Chet Atkins and many others as well as most bluegrass banjo players. I usually rest my ring finger and pinkie on the surface of the ukulele just below the strings to anchor my hand and provide stability for the three fingers that are doing the picking. The middle finger always plays the 1st string the index finger usually plays only the 2nd string (sometimes the 3rd) the thumb always plays the 3rd and 4th strings but can also play the 2nd string, just depending on what’s going on in the song at the time. ![]() In my style of playing I use the thumb, index finger, and middle finger. It’s really not that hard to do though and the results are well worth the practice it takes to get comfortable with it. With this delightful mini ukulele toy,toddlers and big kids alike can enjoy making beautiful music.Since fingerpicking requires the use of more than one finger on the right hand it can be a little more difficult than simple strumming.
