Paradise Pickers Ukulele Group

Paradise Pickers

Paradise Pickers is an advanced ukulele group for players who want to develop their fingerpicking skills, improve their tablature reading, and explore more detailed instrumental techniques.

Led by Horacio de Jesus, the group focuses on practical concepts that help experienced players move beyond basic strumming and chord work. Sessions include guided practice in fingerstyle playing, reading ukulele tablature, developing cleaner technique, and building confidence with more challenging arrangements.

What You’ll Work On

  • Advanced fingerpicking patterns
  • Reading and interpreting ukulele tablature
  • Playing melody and accompaniment
  • Improving timing, accuracy, and control
  • Building confidence with more challenging music
  • Developing a stronger instrumental style

Who Should Attend

Paradise Pickers is best suited for ukulele players who already understand basic chords and strumming and are ready to take the next step.

You do not need to be an expert, but you should be comfortable holding common chord shapes, keeping a steady rhythm, and following along in a group setting.
