Two Finger Pass Fingering Drills for `Ukulele


Pass maximizes the number of notes per string, making the timbre consistent. It's used to move up or down the neck to cope with a passage in which the range is unusually large. The pass provides an effective way to move straight up the first string. It's particularly useful in developing 3 octave fingerings and in playing melodies with an adjacent drone string.

The two finger pass gymnastics in this lesson will aide in the development of the physical skills to effectively incorporate the pass fingering principle into your playing.
