    • A solid book to take a beginner to advanced pmayer
I have this and the "Ukulele Method" book 1 and like this one much better. It starts off with strumming so knowing 2, 3 basic chords you can play something enjoyable. It talks about reading notes and playing individual notes. All other Ukulele books are so basic you can just go on YouTube and hit out a few songs. But this really takes you from beginner and if you practice enough the content takes you to playing advanced songs. There's also practice methods which many books skip out. For reading music notes I like how you can play a few songs just knowing a handful of notes. It makes you feel like you're learning and confident to push on. It's a jam packed book and once you go through it you can just get song books. ... show more

    • Excellent method book
This is one of the most clear and concise method book I’ve ever experienced. It covers just about everything you need to know about tab, chords, reading music all in an easy to understand format.

    • Good for absolute beginners
I bought this but probably should’ve gotten 2nd edition. I recommend getting 2nd edition if you already have knowledge on music theory

    • Excellent
I’m a music teacher (20+ years) and I’m very picky when it comes to method books. I sent a different one back. This one teaches a combination of chords, strumming patterns and note reading as well as a bit of tab. I’ve mostly used the chords and strumming patterns. I like the selection of songs for middle schoolers. There’s an online accompaniment to go with the exercises and songs. My 7th and 8th graders have really enjoyed it. ... show more

    • Great book
After trying to teach myself how to play the ukulele for a couple of months, I decided to pick up this book. At first I thought that it was too basic. But about a third of the way in to the lessons, I realized the techniques being taught were essential to learning. The techniques are presented in a thoughtful and methodical way so even an advanced music learner is bored, but is mastering the basics of the ukulele. Some skills, like finger picking, I thought I would never master, have improved greatly. The book teaches chords, strumming techniques, and finger picking notes. ... show more

This is a great book but I never used it. That’s on Mexico I love this brand and when I learned other instruments I would use this brand and it’s great for beginner and people trying to teach themselves.

I bought this book for a class I'm taking to learn how to play the ukulele I requested and was given five years ago. It's really helpful and I am building my skills by practicing the drills and scales in the book, along with the chords of course. There are a few simple songs that are actually pleasant to play! ... show more
