Hi- I just got a my first ever Uke- a Concert Ukulele.
I've played guitar (electric) for 40 + years and tried many times to switch to acoustic, but I never took to it.
But the ukulele seems like a perfect fit.
Currently (on guitar) I'm playing instrumental music. Mostly (but not all) single note stuff, like Irish tunes, Classical and Early music.
Right away I started Jonathan Lewis's Campanella style offering. It's real nice, but very slow going because of it's unorthodox fingering.
SO- is there a good finger style technique other than Campanella style that would be good for intermediate/advanced single note (not chord strumming) Uke playing?
Sorry for the run-on explanation!
Also- I can play both finger style (w/four fingers) and picks (I wouldn't scratch the wood).
Thanks!
Kurt
