Silent Night by Ukulele Mike

I've had my ukelele for a couple of weeks now and it's a real fun instrument.  I have managed to learn a number of chords, and the YouTube videos are really a big help, especially the tutorials by Ukulele Mike.

Silent Night is one of the songs I was able to pick up and learn by heart because it's has a relatively slow rhythm which makes playing the chords just right for the beginner.  Plus you don't have to remember a lot of it, only 3 (or 4?) are used.

And then when you have fully learned playing this song using the key of G, try a method called transposing, which adjusts the song to a higher pitch (in this case, to the key of A).  This method is also discussed in the video.

And what an apt song to learn this yuletide season!
