In my local uke group, we used the Jim Beloff books - over 700 songs. We also had several hundred songs on separate sheets. Someone would suggest a song. We'd play it, talk about it, play, it, talk about it, play it, and then go on to another. Not much fun.
In my other group, we began with a collection of about two dozen songs and played several of them week after week. We got to know them, and we could add variations as we played. Now we are up to maybe eight books, and most of the songs we play are familiar, and we keep getting better at playing them.
That's how I've become a better player.
