I'd like to get really good at playing fingerpicking patterns (like rolls and such), the kind of things artists use to play indie acoustic pop music.

What are your top 10 patterns to learn?

How did you learn them? What tips can you share?

Here's a previous thread that discusses 20 different patterns in the ukulele tips & tricks section.

and I just found this resource too - it's pretty cool.
