Is anyone here familiar with the original or very early style and technique of playing ukulele, or even have a name for it? Here is the first solo ukulele recording, and I would love to learn how to play this way. If anyone has any other recordings,sheet music,books, or knows a few songs personally please let me know! I would love to hear some people playing in the early style (as was played on the first Ukuleles ever made) as well. Thanks!

Here is another song by Frank Ferera from I assume to be from the other side of the first recording I posted. Love this style so much.
 
If you search around for "Ukulele Method" you may find something to suit.
A couple spring to mind, the "Bailey Ukulele Method", the "Kamiki Ukulele Method" and "Santos Nunes Original Method" are all "old", but whether they cover exactly the style you're after I can't promise.

Thank you! Looks like a great lead.
