The six eighth notes in six / eight time meander or wander on open strings and the first fret of the high G ukulele. “Wander on One” is a short piece I wrote for fingerstyle ukulele in the second book of “Pick! Pluck! Play!”
I suggest two different ways to finger the left hand. Try with just index finger to press the first fret as shown. Next time, try using both index and middle fingers to press the strings on the first fret as shown.
I’m recording each of these pieces for the 100 Days Ukulele 2025 Project. Anyone can join the private Facebook Group by answering a few questions.
The second book of “Pick! Pluck! Play!” follows the first with more original pieces I wrote for the high G ukulele. I will post a blog with samples for each piece in the forthcoming days.
The last page “Ukulele Chords” contains a table of ukulele chord diagrams ordered alphabetically for the chords used in the book.
I’m thrilled about releasing these two books as a precursors (prerequisite) to the 12 Chinese Zodiac Suite, which contains three skill levels.
For other recent compositions and arrangements by Anne Ku, please visit the Daily Music Writing Project or scroll through the consecutive blog posts.
