How To Hold The Ukulele
Sitting
- Sit up straight on the front part of the chair as shown in the photo below.
- The Ukulele should be close to your body in an upright position with the neck pointing slightly upwards.
- Some players prefer to sit with their legs crossed. Experiment to find the sitting position which suits you best.
The main aim is to be comfortable and have easy access to the Ukulele fretboard. A music stand will also be helpful.
Standing
Stand with your weight evenly balanced on both feet and tilt the neck slightly upwards.
Using The Pick
The right hand is used to play the strings by plucking them with a pick. A pick is a piece of plastic shaped like a triangle.
Hold the pick lightly between your thumb and first finger, as shown in the following photo.
Use the tip of the pick to play the string.
