I can't seem to progress past the last couple of songs I've learned, albeit I am getting technically better at playing them, I am forgetting what chords I'm playing any why...just going through the motions. I need something to kick start me back into motion, learn new songs and get back on target! Thank you all! This is the best 'Ukulele community out there!
 
I highly recommend uu plus to learn some great stuff...each time I have hit a plateau I have broken through..frustrating yes but keep pushing...
 
Kevin - perfectly normal when starti g out. You need to possibly try a complete change. Get a whole new song and set a goal - or a new technique, but ensure you don't go the whole hog the other way - good practice is balanced and mixed.

By trying something new you might find a hurdle gets jumped and you move on. But don't give up on the stuff you are playing well either.

Everyone practices differently but I'm a big believer in keeping it fresh and mixed. New challenges can bring new rewards
 
Here are a few suggestions:

Youtube: Just type "song title" and ukulele into the search field and see what turns up.

Here are two sites that have cost me a lot of sleep (in a good way):
http://www.scorpexuke.com/ Lots of strumming and singing stuff
http://pdfminstrel.wordpress.com/ More complex picking stuff

It's almost December and with a name like "IrishKevin" I'm guessing you're not Jewish; how about some Christmas carols?

Don't think in terms of what is within your technical grasp. Think about what you like to hear (jazz? bluegrass? classical? folk? metal?) and then try it. If it's too hard then there's no harm done and you can just dial it back a notch.
