Hi guys,
I think I'm ready to move on from "beginner" uke songs and start playing some intermediate/advanced sheet music (you know, like when they actually sound like real songs).
I'm trying to find a book with a good collection of sheet music, but I'm a little confused about something.
For example, look at this sheet music I found for Skip to My Lou:
https://theuke.com/ukulele_sheet_music/skip_to_my_lou.html
It shows the suggested strum pattern in the upper left corner (which is awesome) and then shows the 2 chord patterns used (you have to strum chords, right?) and it has the chord letters along the way. But then the actual notes and the tablature seems to indicate playing single notes ("finger picking"?)
So what's the deal? Is this sheet music strictly finger picking or do you strum it, or is it a hybrid? If you strum it, do you do a full DDUDDU for every single note?
Thanks for the help.
