Jim D'Ville has a great series of blogs in his "Play ukulele by ear" series. This is a free site to view and has a lot of good information for our use.
The latest blog has a short video where he has a good instructor in Santa Cruz, Dave Egan, discussing both left and right hand mechanics. One thing that he did not verbally highlight was that he strongly recommends holding the uke high and at a significant angle -- somewhere near 45 degrees -- so as to get both left hand and right hand knuckle positions more aligned with the strings than many players seem to use. A good video to view. Scroll down to this interview.
