In this lesson, Sarah demonstrates a “Pinkie Stretch Exercise” designed to help strengthen the finger that we don’t always think to use! By strengthening the pinkie, you can more easily reach farther frets on the ukulele that will allow you to produce more chord voicings and have more musical freedom when playing single note passages and solos. The exercise is based around the chromatic scale, so it will also allow you to get more familiar with note intervals within scales. The new lesson is available in the Beginner section of the site, but It’s an excellent exercise for all skill levels. You can find the new lesson by using the link below. Enjoy, and aloha!
