Answer:
basic ukulele fingerpicking
To start with, we’re not going to use our fretting hand so just let it relax, I want you take all your focus away from that hand. The tab above shows the sequence of G E A and just repeats it. Your thumb will play the G, your index finger plays the E and your middle finger plays the A. If you need it, here’s my guidAudio Player
Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.
To get your hand into a good position, put your fingers and thumb on to the strings that they will be playing then just lift them off slightly. That will give you a good starting position. Play slowly to begin with, aiming for a steady tempo that keeps the spacing between notes equal. Only increase your speed once you’re completely comfortable.
Introducing chords into fingerpicking
basic-fingerpicking-c
Once you’re comfortable with the pattern and your picking hand is doing what it should you can start to introduce a few chords. Let’s start with the ever popular C chord (third finger of the third fret, first string) playing the same pattern as before. This should be easy for you, but again go for pure consistency.
Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.
basic-fingerpicking-f
Now let’s try and add an F chord in. Again this shouldn’t be any trouble for you if you’re comfortable with the pattern. Once you’ve got this solid, try and alternate between the C and the F. Play through the pattern above for C and then immediately switch to the F and play the pattern. Keep alternating between the two. You’ll probably find that initially you stutter a little at the point of the chord change. To combat this slow down to the speed that you can comfortably make the change and then speed the whole thing up as you get better.

Now try fingerpicking some songs!
Now you’ve got a simple ukulele fingerpicking pattern, apply it to some songs that you know the chords for. Pick some easy songs that use 3-4 chords to begin with and rather than strum them, fingerpick your way through using the pattern you’ve just learned. Here’s a good song to try your fingerpicking on.
