The unexpected! I wrote a happy danceable tune! This is Lady S., a tale about a young lady which may (or may not) be attending the Summer Fayre, going to the dance, or whatever young ladies liked to do five centuries ago.
Lady S. is one of the scores included in my book of originals for low G ukulele, May the Low 4th. You can order it from https://go.choan.es/maythelow4th

Here's a brand new original blues in the classic Piedmont style where I oxymoronically employ plectrum tuning while abusing Travis picking.
It comes with a dedication to Ricardo Colubi, a Spanish banjo, ukulele and guitar player who, incidentally, enjoys playing in plectrum tuning.
So, what's that tuning? From a linear tuning ukulele, downtune your low G to low F, and your A string to G. That's it. You won't need to switch strings.
This piece is included in my upcoming book Anthology of Alternate Ukulele Tunings https://www.theukulelebookshop.com/p/anthology-of-alternate-ukulele-tunings-print/

Sentimental Journey es una canción de 1944 escrita por Les Brown y Ben Horner.
Este es mi arreglo para ukelele solo (work in progress, como de costumbre).
Uso un soprano Ohana SK-38A encordado con Savarez (1a, 2a y 3a), la cuarta (grave) es una La Bella con entorchado pulido.

The Wahine tuning (G B E G) presents an interesting characteristic: both the tonic and the dominant seventh chord in C major can be fretted using just one finger.
Once I set the ukulele to this tuning and play the first few notes set to a milonga rhythm, this tune wrote by itself. Dedicated to the incredible Thiago Susán (@thiagosusan5257).
You'll find the score for this Milonga Wahine in my book Anthology of Alternate Ukulele Tunings, which includes twelve original pieces in seven different linear tunings: https://www.theukulelebookshop.com/p/anthology-of-alternate-ukulele-tunings/
