DR.UKE.
http://www.doctoruke.com/
This has to be my favourite site. He has a large number of songs on offer, and most of which he offers a vocal and Uke rendition of each song so that if needs be you can learn the tune. He panders to my laziness and uses the fretboard diagrams for the chords, though of late he wants his members to learn the alpha numerical notation for the chords. I also like the fact that he puts in the verse which is often lacking in some of the more popular versions of the swing and jazz songs he offers.
Just one thing, me being an English migrant thought that "Glastonbury" was in England. Big mistake, it is the US town that he lives in.

He has a balance of commercial lessons and songs along with a lot of useful free information. A while ago I signed up for some of his lessons and found them quite helpful. I use a number of his songsheets in my "to learn" file.
GLEN ROSE. - JAZZY UKULELE
http://www.jazzyukulele.com/
Another of my favourite sites. I just love his "Play Jazz in 3 or 4 chords" approach. It really works and sounds just great, and the chords are not hard. What I personally find hard is getting my ear to hear that chord grouping so that I can substitute his jazzy chords for the ordinary chords. Anyway, I have his little book with some great jazz arrangements in it. He does not include the introductory verse unfortuneately. It is great approach that fits so very well with my idea of what Jazz Ukulele should be. I would like him to produce another book of tunes, I would buy it without thinking.
