I am new to the ukulele and have been playing for under a week now. (Lanikai LU21T) I can play a bunch of basic chords (C, G, Am, F, D etc) but am looking to now figure out the best way to individually play notes, rather than just strumming full chords. I have been biting my nails forever, and have recently stopped for the sake of playing with my fingers. What is your preferred finger picking style? I can do the in-out pattern that was described on UkuleleMinutes but am looking to find out how people individually pick notes. Do you use your thumb nail (which I don't really have yet?) I noticed from some videos some people pick the ukulele almost like a bass guitar, with their four fingers facing completely downward. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
