for those that are having troubles with picking, here is a few patterns that are mostly used:
Picking Patterns
Here are some picking patterns (arpeggios) that you can use to add more to songs.
Pick the strings in the order shown while holding a chord (A string = 1, E string = 2, C string = 3, and G string = 4).
* 4 2 3 1 (repeat as needed)
* 1 2 3 1 2 4 (repeat as needed) Used in: Herb Ohta Jr.’s version of Europa and Jake Shimabukuro’s version of While my Guitar Gently Weeps
* 3 2 4 1 4 2 (repeat as needed)
i was browsing www.liveukulele.com, and i saw it and realized that i never found out how to pick very well.
just thought id share the love ^_^
