I notice Korean, Japanese uke players use thumb pick while most of us use all four fingers.
I started using thumb pick and found my picking is more even and louder. I can even express myself a little better.
Just wondering if thumb pick is the traditional ukulele picking style?
Here is a good example of a really good Japanese player. Some songs he uses his pinky to strum upward like a fan. Very pretty! I selected a tune that is familiar to most of us to watch as sample.
