hi,
any frustrated fingerpickers out there?
i've been obsessed with trying to learn fingerpicking on my baritone uke.
after over a year trying to pick with 3 fingers of my right hand (i'm lefty) and then 3 months of 3 fingers on my left hand, i switched back to my right hand with just 2 fingers.
though i haven't perfected it yet i find the 2 fingers for me much stronger and easier to control. i'm sticking with it for now and making good progress.
here are a couple of encouraging videos of famous 2 finger guitar pickers. Merle Travis and Reverend Gary Davis. if they can do this with 2 fingers and 6 strings there's hope for me with 2 fingers and 4 strings:

anybody know of any other good 2 finger uke or guitar pickers?
thanks for listening!
