Ukulele Fingerpicking Patterns for Beginners

May 30, 2020

In my latest video tutorial, I show you how to play four different beginner-friendly fingerpicking patterns. Training your hand to play one of these patterns smoothly and evenly takes a lot of repetition so to make things a bit easier, I’ve paired these patterns with my favorite one-chord song, “Li’l Liza Jane.”

Our number one goal when we're making music is to keep a steady beat. And the real trick to fingerpicking (and strumming, for that matter) is to do your best to play past your mistakes. Learning any new skill takes time, but if you can keep the beat of the song going, you'll be just fine.
