Brava - Choan Gálvez, ukulele

A baroque inspired, yet modernly constructed, piece for low G ukulele by Choan Gálvez. Dedicated to Sabine Walter.
Grab the score from The Ukulele Bookshop at www.theukulele...
“Gálvez has truly mastered the art of making the ukulele come alive. From lively, dance-like rhythms to gentle, thoughtful melodies - his music covers a wide musical range, yet always stays authentic and emotional. I find it particularly impressive, how traditional and modern elements connect seamlessly with one another, which confers a unique briskness to his composition ‘Brava’. Gálvez shows in this piece of music how easily he’s able to connect rhythmical structure with melodic transparency.” -Sabine Walter

Hi Choan 🙂 Working on this piece now. Would you have any advice on fingering for the right hand? This download didn't have any guidance like many of your others. Seems like most of the time you use your thumb on strings 3 and 4 with index and middle on one and two, except when you need to alternate pick on the A string. Is that right?
Really love this one and want to try and get my finger picking to look and be as efficient as when you play it 🙂

For this kind of arrangements I tend to think on voices rather than strings. Thumb plucks the lower voice; index and middle the top one.
I usually don't add fingering advice on advanced pieces, and left it up to the performer.
