    If you're looking for a resource to help you start playing the ukulele this is a great book to buy. It has all of the information to get you going, from diagrams of parts of the ukulele, playing position, tuning (with and without an electric tuner), and strumming, all the way to music theory including an introduction to scales, time signatures and chord families. Music is written in standard notation as well as tablature. The music is very easy and the pace and progression of lessons is very good. This is a great beginner book and will probably be too low of a level for those with previous musical background. However, for beginners it is a great to have that you can keep for reference. For the price, it is a great value. Recommended!

    I got this book when I first started learning the ukulele. It's fairly short and doesn't take too long to go through. A good portion of the book is basic music theory (i.e. time signatures, how to read music notation, scales) so if you already know how to read music, that part probably won't be very useful. I already knew that stuff so I only briefly went over it. In terms of ukulele specific information, it's well written and probably a very good starting point for the absolute beginner. However, there's not really anything in there that you can't find for free on the internet. I have a few other ukulele books, and while I revisit them from time to time to brush up on certain skills, find new tabs, etc, I don't really come back to this book. Basically, if you're looking for a complete, from-the-ground-up beginner book that teaches basic music theory along with the ukulele, this is a good book. If you already know how to read music, you'll probably be fine with just the internet. Either way though, it's not expensive, so it's not a bad buy.
