The lick will fit marvelously into an arrangement I've been working on of an irish folk song and help make the intro quite ethereal.

My son and daughter-in-law came over with my granddaughter and heard me play "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on the uke and immediately asked, "Do you know the Disney Lava song?" I said, "No." My son pulled it up on his phone and I was able to follow it pretty easily.

So, I'm going to start in high G and experiment with low G when I get a chance, or possibly a tenor uke.

Sounds like you are already having a blast with your new concert uke. I like your last statement about getting a tenor in the future for low G. I have a number of ukes and all my tenors are low G. Some concerts and sopranos are high G so I can play what ever my mood dictates.

Careful though the little guys seem to multiply quite rapidly.......UAS is a real as GAS..
