The beginner's main focus is on the left hand, searching for notes and chords. Seeing this hand slide across the fretboard is visually striking, and is considered a fundamental part of the performance. But the work of the left hand can only be valid if, the right hand does the right job. Whether you're playing fingerpicking or simply managing the rhythm of a song, the work of your right hand is of fundamental importance. Playing the strings in the right time, from top to bottom or from bottom to top, respect the rests, these are the basis of our composition. It is advisable, before starting to play a piece, to find the right hand movement to match the rhythm we want to give to the piece of our music.
Always play the strings gently !

By keeping the first finger, still on the first fret of the second string, we can easily start to playing an F chord, by adding the second finger to the first string at the second fret.
Or, if we also add the third finger to the second string at the second fret, we will play a Dm. Likewise, if we move the second finger to the second string at the second fret and we put the third finger to the fourth string at the second fret, we will play a G7. By keeping one finger fixed on the fretboard, we will never take our hand off the uke, and changing chords will be easier and quicker.
