uke players

Try Youtube as well @Blossom1961.  But honestly, it's just practice that makes you better (although I'm still pretty rubbish).  As you get more confident with the easy chords, you can add songs with different chords, although there's some that I think I'm never likely to be able to do with the stiffness in my hands.  The strumming patterns will come later as you develop.  Try Vance Joy's Riptide (easy to find on the net) - it's simple and written for uke.
