Fred Sokolow: Ukulele for beginners Language: English Media: Audio on line Pages: 60 The ukulele has never been more popular. There are uke clubs, festivals and retreats all over the world. A growing number of uke virtuosos have made it clear that you can play any kind of music on this humble instrument and be as impressive as a concert pianist or a rock guitarist. But you don’t have to be a virtuoso to have fun with the uke and play music with other people! This book and CD will start you off on the uke, even if you’re a complete beginner who has never played a musical instrument. You’ll learn several strums and a few picking patterns, and enough chords to be able to play in several keys. Strumming along with the recording will help you get in the groove, and there’s music and tablature to assist you on this journey. Once you can play the tunes offered here, you’ll be part of the growing ukulele community. The songs in this book are more than exercises to help you learn to play the uke; they’re classics that have been performed and recorded by hundreds of artists. That’s why additional verses are included after each song/exercise. If you’re learning part of a song, you might as well learn the whole thing!
