I’m fairly new to ukulele. I always worry to start playing a musical instrument because I can move my left-hand middle, ring finger and pinky due to an accident. Hence, I play the left-handed ukulele when I start playing the ukulele. Is there any tips for effectively do fingerstyle playing?
Hi there. You Vann do a lot worth the thumb. Here’s Andrew’slesson on the thumb approach to picking. You can probably make a lot of a two fingered approach too. Some things might be harder but I think you can learn to do a lot on the uke with what you’ve got. You can do this! ☺
Actually there’s been at least 2 master class guitarists who chopped off a few of their fretting fingers and managed to be great. Tony Iommi, and Django Reinhardt are the ones I know about.
I can’t give you any tips but if they can do it on guitar I’d think you would have hope with ukulele. It is a matter of how determined you are to learn I would think? If you REALLY want to play don’t let it stop you!
