Travis Pick #2 Variation
Right Hand Dynamics - from Beginner to Advanced
Here are some great resources on finger picking that Lana has curated:
A decent article on learning the technique
Learning fingerpicking ukulele:
I like the progression that Guido follows-- one of my favourite teachers on the net
This is the guy who wrote Ukulele for Dummies
Mike Lynch is always good to watch and learn from-- I might start here---
There are others-- Stuart Fuchs, Aaron Kiem etc. I have Aaron Keim's book that I will bring next Wednesday for anyone to borrow.
Once you get used to the Travis Pick, you can go to other patterns-- the one that is quite common is the "every other" pattern 4-2-3-1-4-2-3-1
Another is "outside-inside" 4-1-3-2-4-1-3-2
For Hallelujah I use 4-3-2-1-2-3-- the 4 is the beginning of the next measure
After you learn the basics of hand position and different patterns it's practice, practice, practice
Uke can do it!!
