Summary:
An illustrated guide to the rich history of this eccentric little instrument, from its birth in Hawaii to its popularity across the world, with a timeline from 1879 to today and a
ukulele
hall of fame that includes George Formby, Hawaiian legend Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and YouTube
ukulele
superstar Jake Shimabukuro. Then on to the practicalities: the anatomy of the
ukulele
, which uke to buy, how to play it, how to strum, pick, read chord charts and tune the strings. Once you know all this, you can get playing the songs included in the book, which from medieval lays and nursery rhymes to blues and rock 'n roll. Beautiful presentation and tab notation make reading the music easy, even for beginners.
