He uses a pick (on a guitar), which most ukers don't, but as seen in the Mighty Uke movie, the Canadian Ukulele students vary from fingers to pick. There's a scene in the movie where the Langley Ukulele Orchestra goes to Hawaii for 2-week relaxing vacation where they go to lessons and perform about 40 times! Some of the girls had elastic ponytail bands and they put them on the headstocks of their ukuleles to hold their picks.

This exercise also works by alternating thumb down and index finger up. Joe also does a few Guitar Riffs that you can see on his YT page
