I have wathed a few videos on clawhammer ukulele, and I am not sure which finger to use for the melody.
My first instinct was my index, which I usually strum with.
I heard that banjo players use the middle finger.
I heard former banjo who thought the index finger might give more control but can't change habits.
I am trying out the middle finger after trying with my index, because it is more rigid and protrudes more, allowing me to support it with my index, thus not tiring my fingers too fast.
Those of you who play clawhammer, which finger do you use?
Edit:
I realise that some people would find it funny to show an emoji of their favored finger as an answer, and I recognise that it really funny, I suggest that you use the poll in stead just in case the moderators don't
