----

In this etude, you will learn an airy sounding piece that creatively makes use of harmonics. Composed with an A B A form (2 melodies: A and B), this etude is fingerpicked entirely using two fingers: The index and the thumb. The third and fourth fingers will hold (stabilize) the ukulele in place as to make the harmonic jump easier. 

It’s also important to note the time signature changes throughout the piece. This etude bounces between 4/4, 2/4, and 3/4.
