I've just received a copy of The Beatles For Ukulele from Amazon. Looks OK – 20 songs with chord diagrams to play along with, as well as musical notation for the melodies.

- Eight Days A Week
- Good Day Sunshine
- Got To Get You Into My Life

- Love Me Do
- Michelle
- Nowhere Man
- Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
- Penny Lane
- Ticket To Ride
- Yellow Submarine
- Yesterday
I'm making my way through that book, but I've been stuck on Ticket To Ride for a while just because it's a tough song to duplicate with a uke. The best song I can play is With A Little Help From My Friends , but that's mostly because my voice sounds most like Ringo's…unfortunately.

I didn't notice it before, but during the coda to Free As A Bird , Paul does these really nice Come Together -style bass runs. Nothing to do with the ukulele but there you go. Thanks for posting that clip Zig – I'd not seen it before.

When I was on music camp, one of the teachers asked me to play the ukulele on a song, so the teacher showed me some chords, and after 30 minutes of teaching, I learned to play 'Back In The U.S.S.R.'
Ain't it cool?!?

Very cool. I haven’t played my uke in a while (damn you guitar!) but the best thing I learned was a fingerstyle version of In My Life .

No, unfortunately the piano is way too fast. My computer has been acting up, so I’m not sure if this video will show up, but I can play a version similar to this.

That's pretty cool.
But I don't think that was a good arrengement.
In My Life doesn't suit (for me tough) a jazz ballad.
