So I've only been playing the ukulele for for about seven months, but came across a too good to pass up deal on a Mainland Mahogany Baritone Ukulele on the local craigslist. I had to buy it for myself as an early birthday present. Now it might have been foolish to pick up a uke with different tuning this early in my ukulele journey (will I start to confuse Baritone and GCEA chords as I switch back and forth?) but I love this instrument, its incredible quality and the beautiful sound it makes. Can anyone recommend good internet/book/ebook sources for mastering the Baritone Uke? Baritone Uke songbooks? On my GCEA ukes, the chords that give me the most trouble tend to be the E and B chords; on the Baritone that translates to the B and F chords, so I'm trying to start my journey with songs that mostly avoid those. I did find this nice list of songs, with Baritone fingering printed at the bottom of each by googling "easy baritone ukulele songs." Any other suggestions?
