I am a relatively new tenor ukulele player. I would like to learn how to play slide ukulele using a finger bottleneck. As I understand it, playing slide guitar/ukulele also requires retuning the instrument but I don't know much about it.
Do you know of any sources for learning to play slide ukulele - on the web, books, etc?
Thanks.

Yes, you can retune your uke to an open chord, but it's not necessary if you just play the first two strings as lead elements. You may find a mini slide works better than a full one (it's about 1" long). That still lets you play chords easily.

On the other hand you could play like Martin Mull and use a baby bottle for a slide...

Ian,
Could you please explain to me what you mean by, "......but it's not necessary if you just play the first two strings as lead elements." As a newbie, I am not sure what you mean by "lead elements."
Thanks again.
