In the last video, I introduced you to my approach and why it’s so powerful to help you learn how to fingerpick the ukulele because I show you exactly what to practice, how to practice, and when to practice.
And that’s exactly what you do in this video!
Today we get started with a simple fingerpicking pattern that will be the foundation of the solo you will eventually play.
You’re going to learn things like:
- How to find a relaxed playing posture
- How to position your fingers to pick the strings
- Which fingers to use to fingerpick
- How to play a simple fingerpicking pattern
- How to fingerpick and change chords
Be sure to watch this video and practice because in the next video we’ll be taking what you learned and playing your first fingerstyle solo!
Students on the early-bird waitlist for the upcoming Fingerpicking Tricks course will be the first to know when this video is live.
How to Get Early Access to Fingerpicking Tricks and Guarantee Your Spot
Unfortunately I can only work with a handful of students at a time. Unlike some of my other courses, I limit Fingerpicking Tricks registration to provide the best support and experience for my students. Some of my past programs have sold out in as less than a day.
When enrollment opens, you need to sign up as soon as you see it, because spots tend to sell out very fast. One reason I’ve created an early-bird waitlist is so you can get access before the public. But to secure your spot you need to act immediately when you get an email from me.
Here’s how to make sure you get in:
- Open your email inbox on Sunday, October 30, 2022 at 1:00 PM EST
- Refresh your inbox until you get an email from me
- Open the email and click on the secret early-bird registration link inside the email to join the class
- Secure your spot in the class immediately
It’s likely there will be a rush to the registration page on Sunday since there are so many people on the early-bird waiting list. Show up on time on Sunday and follow the instructions above to make sure you get a spot.
Registration for Fingerpicking Tricks is opening soon. Please enter your information below to be added to the early-bird waitlist and you’ll be the first to know when we open enrollment.

“Fingerpicking Tricks has given me a lot of pleasure in learning ukulele without any of the stress and confusion that comes with learning solo. It’s because Brett gives quick answers to any questions and has laid out the course perfect for beginners like me. Before I discovered Ukulele Tricks I tried learning solo and ended up putting my ukulele down before getting anywhere. Now I have goals set and finishing a lesson gives me a great sense of achievement. It’s very rewarding and I’m very happy with my progress. I actually bought Fingerpicking Tricks as my first course because that’s the style I love. I highly recommend the course.”
