Here's what others are saying:
"I like the 'tab' thing. I am not to great at chords. My 72 year old fingers are not co-operating. I did the 'tab' and it works fine for me. I also have a terrible singing voice. Now I can play a song using melody instead of chords. Amazing Grace sounds just like Amazing Grace and not just a bunch of chords and my terrible singing voice (I cannot carry a tune). Actually I LOVE the tabs."
--Arlene Kennedy "This book is great and super helpful. It's very straight forward and does a great job at explaining everything you need to know so you can actually play the songs. It basically teaches everything from scratch it's super easy to follow and comes with a bunch of extra resources like online video lessons. I loved it!"
No matter how you play today, you're about to enter a new dimension of ukulele proficiency.
You'll discover a deeper level of pleasure and enjoyment every time you pick up your ukulele to play. Prepare to be showered with generous praise.
