I am learning to play ukulele and guitar (going to classes). The teacher provides us with song sheets. These are OK to practise on in class but I wouldn't want to play them at a folk club as they are very hackneyed and uninspiring. I sing British folk songs, currently unaccompanied. I prefer to have the music as well as the chords and lyrics. I do have a few song books as well as searching for material online. Part of my problem is that I sing contralto so I have to transpose material - sometimes awkward chords. It's frustrating. I'm currently looking for good songs that use the C family that I can play on my uke. I don't need the chord diagrams. Any ideas on ways to make this easier?
