Before I came to the ukulele, I played guitar off and on. (mostly off, I could go months if not a year+ without touching one so I wasn't accomplished by any means) When I started thinking about learning songs on the uke, I realized that at best, I could only play 1 or 2 songs from memory after 18+ years of sporadically playing the guitar. When I did play, I guess I just enjoyed sitting and playing songs from chords/tab sheets and didn't bother trying to learn the song by memory. Now that I'm playing the ukulele, I think my attitude has changed and was wondering what others here tend to do.
Do you like to learn a song until you can play it by memory or do you rely on a song sheet each time you play? I suspect for a lot of people it is a little bit of both but I think it would be cool to have a repertoire that I could play by memory. (While I'm certainly not ruling it out, right now I don't have plans for performing for others.)
