first uke song in a fingerpicking style?

Morning all or after/evening lol. Hopefully my concert uke will arrive soon from mgm! I have a question, I can play acoustic guitar to an ok standard so think it wont take me ages to learn the uke. Can you suggest a song that you think I should tackle first on the uke in a fingerpicking style? I do not know any trad uke songs so a chart hit would be helpful. Thanks everyone on advance. Rae

Unfortunately I'm a UK uker

This is a great site

Scroll down and look on the right side under "Pages". There you will find a good range of songs, mostly traditional, classical, and public domain type songs. Tablature and musical notation provided. Also midi sound files, in case you don't know the song.

Have fun!

Hi-
I've only been playing for about 6 months myself (so am definitely a beginner) - but recently picked up a book (comes with a CD also) that is a combination of finger-picking and chords and although I personally am taking it slow - I bet it would be a good way to get started finger-picking on a uke - so it'd probably be enough of a challenge to work through if you already play guitar - but all of the songs in the book looked like they'd keep any uke beginner or intermediate player busy for a while.

Good luck!

Oh, and what kind of concert uke did you get from MGM??
