One term I learned from going to uke fests is "noodling" - playing around with the strings while the instructor is trying to instruct. "If you will all stop noodling, you will be able to hear me better." When I have a uke in my hands, I noodle constantly. I wonder if any of you do what I do.
I'll pluck two or three string, maybe fretting and maybe not, and the sequence will remind me of a tune. At that point, I start looking for other notes in the tune until I can pick the notes of the entire song.
Some examples are "If I Loved You," "Tom Dooley," "Amazing Grace," "Something" (Beetles).
