Sharpen: Yeah, you can do. I usually find it best to use just my index and middle alternating. Although I do use my ring finger as well for tremolos.

Just thought of a good idea while watching this. If you use your picking fingers ALL on one string, you can get quite impressive speeds.

Variant: Good idea. Anything that makes this easier to play is worth trying.

I prefer playing the song on the last string, as I have a tendency of messing up otherwise.
I also just strum very fast with my fingers.

cbf: Do they have anything exciting like crossroads in Canada? Perhaps he sold his soul at a roundabout.

Jeff: I’m with you on the couldn’t put it down front. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve picked the uke up for ‘a quick 5 minute strum.’

All of this on one string. It was very addictive. I hard a hard time putting the uke down and going to sleep.

MC: Yep, that’s about the size of it. James is the greatest uke player in the world right now. No competition.

Let’s face it, if James Hill can play it, the majority of the world can’t.

Though I have made headway on a very dumbed-down version of his Mario arrangement.
