I have been playing the Ukulele for about 16 months and made decent process. I've worked diligently through books like Ukulele Aerobics, taken private lessons and joined a Ukulele group. I have got to the point that providing I have either the chords or tab to a song I can pretty much play a passable version.
However I really want to be able to figure out songs by ear but am finding it really difficult.
Some people seem to do it instinctively but not me!
If you have worked through this I would love to know how you tackled learning how to figure out a song. I know the theory about figuring out the key and using the circle of fifths to narrow down the chord choices but its still a real struggle.
What resources have you used and what songs did you tackle first to train your ears to be able to pick out the right chords?
Any hints / tips / resources / words of encouragement would be welcome.
