- This style is a mainstay of fingerstyle players on many instruments, but it is particularly suited to the ukulele and once you get it going, will make your playing sound deeper and more layered while keeping a driving rhythm going.

Really found this helpful, Jeff! Your tutorial on Travis picking makes the most sense to me out of all i've watched! Thank you! I have a question: Does it matter WHERE on the uke you do the picking? I notice you are over the sound hole. I seem to naturally pick right above the sound hole on the neck.
Thanks for the kind words! I see it as three general areas along th string and then shades of color in between.
Dolce or Sul Tasto is near or over the neck. It sounds sweet and subdued. Near or over the sound hole is neutral and well suited to a lot of music. near the bridge, Ponticello is edgy, loud and brittle.
I use all three, but tend to mix it up during a performance.
Tone color or timbre is what makes one player sound like a pro and another like a beginner. Even on a not so good instrument, a jake Shimabukuro or a James Hill can get a sweet sound from it.
This is above my pay grade.
Take it slow and break it down. Just work on the thumb doing its job first and don't go any further till you feel good about steady, on the beat quarter notes with the thumb.
Try playing along at 3:15 and rewind it over and over till it is easy. 5 minutes a day, every day for a week! You can do this.
