Product Overview

Published by Dumont. What every beginner needs to know about the ukulele s American Cousin to get up and playing as soon as possible, plus somewhere to go after that. Learn how to tune your uke and to strum some simple chords from our favorite Chord Families: C, G, D, A, E and F. Plenty of familiar song examples, fingerpicking, alternating bass (Travis-picking), chord-melody playing, cool chords around the neck and an explanation of the Minor Keys. There's no need to read music, but there is just enough music theory to help make you a better player, including the demystification of the Circle of Fifths.
