Hi all,

I've been playing with a new uke for about three weeks. Before that, I had played guitar off and on (badly) since I was a teenager (The Doors were big back then, so it's been a long time).

Anyway, I'm doing well on my chords and strumming, and really not so bad picking out melody lines, but I'd like to start combining some melody and chords on some fairly simple songs. The problem is finding a simple song and, if possible, the music or tabs to play it.

Any recommendations? There are no ukulele instructors in East Tennessee, so I am looking for something to help along my self-teaching.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you have. This is a great site, and I appreciate the folks who ask and answer questions.
 
Just a couple suggestions for you. Check out this website here:

There's probably something on there you could use, he has some simple arrangements for high or low g.

Also, I would recommend the book 'Learn to Play Fingerstyle Solos for Ukulele' by Mark Kailana Nelson.

Dominator has a few easy ones on his site too. Here:

Good luck and welcome to UU.
 
also try some of the lessons here on UU. a good one is: wonderful tonight, by eric clapton. its an easy song and its widely known.
