Comfortable using three fingers yet.
You can just use your your pointer and thumb so _ follow that same [C] pattern
_ _ _ One _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ more thing [N] too is you notice my pinky is kind of resting on [Bm] the
On the ukulele [E] it gives you it's a lot more comfortable [N] playing.

_ [N] if you notice again my _ my pinky was rested on the
_ _ _ _ [A] Right beneath the sound hole gives me like support on _ it
_ Picking the kind of tone you want is like
_ It's really clear you can let the note ring for
_ As long as it you know can _ so you kind of want to get
Kind of underneath the string
_ _ And [D] kind of get it consistent with the rest of [A] your fingers even with the thumb too you kind of want to
_ _ _ Get underneath it _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ This is another popular [N] technique
_ _ _ _ It's similar to the first one, but the pattern is a little different
You're gonna be picking your or using your pointer in middle
To pick the bottom strings and your your thumb is just gonna go back and forth between these two strings
So the pattern is I'll play it slowly
[C] _ So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ your thumb is gonna be going
Just _ _ _ _ _ back and forth
And then your bottom string your bottom fingers _ are I mean [Fm] you're the bottom strings are gonna be picked like [C] this
