    @DavidArdittiComposer Před 2 lety +1

    Good lesson, but, actually, how I could be helped more is by teachers not referring to finger names. They don’t mean anything to me: I’ve never worn a ring, I am unsure what the index finger is, and in the UK we don’t use the term ‘pinkie’. I’d much prefer numbers for fingers, then I’m immediately certain of the meaning of the instructions.

    • @UkuleleZen
      @UkuleleZen  Před 2 lety

      Hi David, I go back-and-forth between naming them first second third and fourth finger and sometimes using that expressions of index middle ring and pinky… It’s more of a spontaneous choice but I can be more intentional about it if that helps you 😊
