Thought it might be fun to hear what you learned as your very first uke song 
Mine was HOME ON THE RANGE.

Five Foot Two... Grandma's favorite song. She played it a zillion times on a 30s model Johnny Marvin Harmony uke, which I have now.

You are my Sunshine
The intro to 'Postcards From Italy' by Beirut. Odd, because it includes a hammer-on which is a little complicated for a first stab, but because it's a song I like a lot it was instantly satisfying and encouraging.
'Losing My Religion' also made me smile because I could here it coming even when I couldn't play a thing. If you're brand new and like REM, give it a stab, it's fun.

Vic D: Do you know of a good tab/chart arrangement of your g'ma's favorite? I'd love to learn that song.

Hi,
5 foot 2 was my first song, too. I restored a banjo uke that been on my wall for 13 years. The day the strings arrived, I found Marcy Marxer's tutorial on YouTube.
That was October. I've now joined the "uke a month club". Mahogany concert, Kamaka soprano, and a Kamaka tenor is waiting for Christmas.:drool:

Back in the 70s, I learned Swing Low Sweet Chariot and When Johnnie Comes Marching Home. Don't know which was first. Didn't touch the uke until Oct. 2, '09. Then it was what else but Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
