Fingerpicking on Ukulele - Banjo Rolls
Previous lessons covered a lot of material. All the patterns started with the thumb on string four and suggested exploring starting with the thumb on string three.
You can also start with the index or middle finger. This is a big part of the technique of rolls, very popular on banjo and styles of music where banjo is prominent.
In bluegrass music, a banjo roll or roll is a repeated accompaniment pattern of eighth notes. Each roll pattern is a right hand fingering pattern, which can be played while holding any chord position.
Rolls are a core technique on banjo and can be adapted to ukulele. They sound especially cool on a ukulele in the high G, re-entrant ?C? tuning. The re-entrant tuning is a similar setup to the 5-string banjo?s tuning with the lowest string not the lowest note.
