This etude is split into four themes, with each theme increasing in difficulty. Theme 1 is entirely fingerpicked and establishes the syncopated “rhythmic theme” heard throughout the piece. Theme 2 takes the fingerpicked pattern from Theme 1, but adds chords and a strum pattern to the mix. In Theme 3, you’ll learn a new syncopated strum pattern that incorporates a four finger strum roll (as taught in our lesson on “La Gitanita“ [Link Below]). Lastly, our final theme is a variation on Theme 2. ---- EXTRA HELPFUL LESSONS Understand Rhythmic Notation & Counting: https://rockclass101.com/understanding-rhythmic-notation-ukulele/ Increase Left Hand Reach (Pinky Finger Exercises): https://rockclass101.com/increasing-left-hand-reach-ukulele/ "La Gitanita" - Learn the Mechanics Behind the 4 Finger Strum Technique with this Flamenco Piece: https://rockclass101.com/la-gitanita/
