Hi,
I am about to start practicing in earnest my upper five frets (for me, thats 15-19). I was wondering if any of the ukulele teachers here could point me towards what's orthodox in fingering.
Here's the question. When I play a scale on the 4th fret, I use all four fingers. When I play the same scale an octave higher on the 16th fret, I use just my index and middle fingers since things are a bit squishier up there. So, what's the standard technique? Do accomplished players maintain the same technique regardless or is it a matter of doing whatever you want?
