Can anyone help me with the proper picking pattern for Gordon lightfoot...If you could read my mind. Thanks
PS I play in low G
 
Not easy ... the original arrangement is a six-string guitar arpeggio with a relatively heavy bass (lots of thumb), a facility the ukulele just does not have.

My recommendation would be to find a guitar arrangement that includes the chords, apply these chords to your ukulele, transposing if necessary to suit your voice, then fit a suitable picking arrangement on top of that.

It's unlikely you'll be using the same chord shapes as the original, so any guitar picking pattern you find probably won't suit anyway, even if you choose to ignore the missing bass.

YMMV - Good luck :music:
