Beginner to Intermediate players who have some experience with reading chord diagrams and tablature and are familiar with the 4 main chords in the Key of C (C, F, G, Am) will be well-prepared to attend this workshop. In this workshop, we will focus on basic fingerpicking skills that allow us to accentuate the melodic lines of a song rather than just strumming our chords. We will be focusing on 4 different styles of fingerpicking for the ukulele and utilizing several different songs in our practice exercises! If you are an advanced beginner or an intermediate ukulele player that is looking to diversify your ukulele style, then this might be the workshop for you!
