Easy Songs for Ukulele – Hal Leonard Ukulele Method | Beginner Ukulele Songbook with Chords and Lyrics | Features The Beatles, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Simon and Garfunkel, and More

All the songs in this book fit the uke with its standard tuning of GCEA (high G). Some of the other books I looked at seem to have just taken guitar melodies and then put UKE chords on top, but the melodies then fell off the range of the instrument you have so are unplayable. Not so with this one. Every note is playable on the uke (tabs are provided) and all the lyrics are given. I never saw some of these verses before (btw, turns out that Tom Dooley guy was a jerk after all). This is a great book for sing alongs. Lots of fun tunes: “I walk the line”, “house of the rising sun”, “all my loving”.

I am a beginner, and this book is just perfect to carry around with me and practice. I don't have to worry about charging up my laptop to find ukelele chord music to play outside or in my car or whatever. The only problem is that I have to stop to turn the pages. I don't have to do that with my laptop. But I like the freedom and light weight of a book. The songs are classic in this book, and great to learn.

for an inexpensive beginner uke book, it's great. There are some really good songs in here and the chord guides through each song and tablature for note playing comes quick, <i>especially if you've toyed with guitar </i>for some considerable time. You'll be playing the uke immediately. A few songs by the Beatles and Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and more. The tablature helps you get the tune if you're not familiar with a song.

Good collection of easy to read songs. Unlike many uke books there are no notes below c so all songs can be played correctly on a standard ( high g) strung uke

I have been playing the ukulele for 3 weeks and having never played any musical instrument before in my life - I believe that makes me an absolute beginner. I love how easy it was to start playing the songs in this book. Made me feel like I could actually play something that was more advanced than children’s nursery rhymes. The tabs are a lifesaver and help me out enormously as I struggle to read musical notes. Definitely recommend this book for anyone who wants to expand their repertoire as they learn.

The Bad: I am a music instructor and try and avoid using TAB with beginners. I try and get them to use the black dots...so, as this book contains TAB I would only use it with experienced students or adults who want to work on melody. Thus, the 3 star rating because I can't use it for everybody I teach.The Good: The songs are cool! It is a good supplement to the Ukulele Book 1 so if you are purchasing that book, this is a good add on to your purchase. If you are a TAB reader, it is fine.

I’m a beginner ukulele player and I’m enjoying this book. The songs are fairly easy to play. The book has both notes and tabs which is convenient.

wide song selection. easy to see cheats, Print is very dark and high contrast - you can see all the notes even if slightly buzzed on mai tais. Not all the tunes are going to be your faves but you will probably like half of them. Not bad for a book with twenty songs. With the notation, I expect that this book would be very good for duets, one fingerpicking and one strumming.

muy buen libro para complementaruna buena formación me encanta y me ha ayudado a mejorar mis habilidades interpretativas en ukulele

excellent, easy to follow

Sto imparando ad usare l'ukulele, quindi ho acquistato il prodotto.Sono rimasta delusa perché le canzoni all'interno sono roba degli anni 60...A parte questo, il tutto è ben strutturato e descritto.

Leicht verständliche Songs für Ukulele: mit Akkorden, Tabulaturen und Noten.Schöne große Schrift, auch ohne Brille Lesbar. Preiswert, kompetent, Gut.

Being a beginner on ukulele I found this book really easy to follow. I know most of the songs so the tunes are in my head making it easier for me to learn the strumming patterns. It is set out clear, I would definitely recommend this to a fellow learner.
