CORRECT PLAYING POSITION
|
||||
|
|
||||
 |
The middle of the right forearm
should press the back of the ukulele to the body, firmly enough to pre- vent its slipping, so it may be played in either a sitting or standing posi- tion. The left arm should be extended
forward, holding the neck of the ukulele between the thumb and joint of the fore-finger, with the tip of the thumb resting approximately at the side of the first fret. |

POSITION OF LEFT HAND AND FINGERS
|
||||
|
|
||||
 |
Study these pictures care-
fully, observe the position of the thumb, resting at the side of the neck near the first fret. The fingers are curved in position to contact the strings, and the palm is held away from the neck. The front view shows the fin-
gers in place for chording, observe that only the finger- tips are used and are placed behind the frets not on them. This is important. |
