I originally got my uke to learn folk and historical music, but got distracted at some point and never did. But I want to try again, so do you guys have any recs for songbooks to look at?

I know Tony Mizen and Rob MacKillop have both arranged classical and other music for the uke, are their books any good?

Describe folk and historical. Do you want to play irish jigs and reels or Neil Young? Bach's cello suites? I have a few uke-specific PDFs floating around my computer.

Sourced from the big uke forum, this person has tabbed out several hundred songs.

And this person is into year 4 of tabbing out lute music onto a uke (though they may be using low-G, not sure).

I've pulled out a few things that interested me over the past couple of years, and also randomly dug up the cello suites and threw them all in a ZIP.

Yes to all of the above, really. If you can imagine it played at a renaissance faire, I'm willing to try it. :hist101: However, I'd really prefer a printed book since music is one of my few excuses to get off the computer.

Edit: Thanks for the links nonetheless!

I'm the same way, if I have a book in front of me I can focus for hours but put it on a screen and my brain just rolls off. Luckily I have a job where they don't really care about printer usage.

Good luck on your search!
