Customer Reviews

A nice collection edited for easy use.
Jim Beloff has created a small industry collecting old ukulele tunes, editing them, adding chord symbols and publishing them in books like this. This particular collection is one of my favorites, along with Beloff's "Ukulele Favorites". Both books offer around 30 tunes and a very complete set of chord charts for the price of a couple of sets of strings. Not bad.

A great next-step book for uke players
There are a lot of basic uke books out there (including some by Jim Beloff), but if you already play a little guitar and want to go beyond 3-chord folk songs, there aren't that many books to help you. This one does. A useful, second-stage instruction book that ends with an introduction to chord solos. I've had great fun with it.

Solid collection of standards
I must confess that I am a huge fan of Jim Beloff and now own several of his collections, as well as his DVD level 2 (also great). This particular collection is filled with great songs, all well arranged for chord voicings and good-sounding changes. The chord solos at the end of the book are an extra treat and well worth exploring.
