Pattern two would look like this: G (thumb), C (thumb), E (thumb), A (first finger), repeat. In two-finger style, you can also use your thumb to control the first three strings, and control the top string with your first finger. Pattern 1 would look like this: G (thumb), C (thumb), E (first finger), G (thumb). First, your thumb will control the G and C strings, while your first finger controls the E and A strings.
Let’s take a look at what pattern 1 would look like with two-finger style. When you get these patterns down with all four fingers, then them again with the two, three and four finger styles. I would recommend trying each pattern with each finger. Once you master these patterns with your thumb, you can go on to trying them with your other fingers. It looks like this: G (quarter) C E C E (eight notes) G. Start with a quarter note on the G, and then play eighth notes for beats 2 and 3 on the C and E strings a couple times, and then come back to the G string. Once you’re familiar with this pattern, try working through some of the chords that you know, but keep plucking these strings as you change chords.Īgain, start with just the open ukulele, but then work on changing chords as you go. Try these patterns using only your thumb: 1. These three strings will give us our drone that we can create with our picking pattern. We are going to use the bottom three strings (G – C and E) which spell out the C major chord. You don’t even have to hold down any chords at first. Here are a couple patterns that you might want to practice. You could strike the strings in a random order, but that would not necessarily be very musical. The main difference is that instead of strumming all of the strings, you use your thumb to strike particular strings. You may be used to thumb strumming, and fingerpicking with the thumb is not much different.
