![]() Your fretting hand can operate independently of a picking pattern so ANY chord can be heldįor instance, a common pattern is 4231.Picking Patterns: What are They?Ī picking pattern is a repeating string order that your right hand picks in sequence while holding any chord. The left hand can just hold your favorite chord as you practice picking with the right hand. Let’s focus on just the picking hand for this lesson as we learn some arpeggio patterns. The picking hand controls when they are sounded. The fretting hand controls the notes and harmony (chords). When playing the ukulele, we have two hands doing completely different things on the instrument at the same time. To retain the harmony but play a more mellow part, you can play a fingerpicking pattern. Sometimes strumming all the strings is more energetic than a song requires. A picking pattern on the ukulele is a clever way of “melting” a chord you already know.
