Description

The mission of this book is to get first-time ukulele players up and started, enjoying music, having fun and being ready and equipped to move on to more exciting stuff. Work hard at some of the exercises contained here and you can end up playing whatever music you like: high-speed fret-melting Be-Bob-Fusion burn ups; beautiful arrangements of Chopin nocturnes; heavy Metal riff-fest. Or you can just sit down with the uke on your knee and pick out a simple soundtrack to your private thoughts. Buy this book to learn how to play the ukulele: the one instrument where you don' t have to work to be able to play.
