wow thank you for all of your quick responses guys
I think that part of the problem is maybe that all the songs i thought would sound great on the ukulele seem to have just gone away, like I've learned them all....
also when i said that just strumming chords is getting old, I meant that just strumming like, D, A, Bm, G, and (classic) C, G, Am, F for pretty much every single song is getting pretty old... I think if i do want some challenge it would be still strumming chords and singing, just more difficult and better sounding chords
also a lot of you suggested that I could join a band, and I wouldn't say I have joined one, but I have jammed with other people before, but even then I got extremely frustrated because they wouldn't tell me the chords to the songs we were playing XD
not to mention I'm only 14, and I'm home schooled so there is not a lot of opportunity for that sort of thing.

Hey man, I'm homeschooled too! You just gotta branch out and find people who are interested. I got a couple of my friends into it! As far as things to do to change it up, go through Aldrine's lessons on the main site!!! Tears in Heaven is a GREAT song, it was really the first complex song I learned. Like I said, sign up for UU+. I've learned SOO much in just a couple months. There's so many ways to break out from the routine. For example, the UU+ Master lesson "bridging the gap" has some awesome fringerpicking drills and ways to fill out simple strumming to make it sound fuller and more complex. Go for it bro! Your only limit is your ambition and your imagination.
