This book is for current and former guitar players discovering the ukulele for the first time or returning to the instrument
Ukulele for Guitar Players is a guide to transferring the accumulated experience and knowledge gained as a guitar played to the ukulele. Or exploring the possibilities that the ukulele offer. Covers chords, scale and an introduction to reading standard music notation on ukulele.
The ukulele is both a different instrument than the guitar and at the same time a lot like the guitar.
Guitar players that also play the ukulele find that it gives them a different and fresh look at how they also approach the guitar.
Regarding my book Ukulele For Guitar Players
Ex-Beatle George Harrison received a gift from his good friend Tom Petty shortly before his death - a ukulele. Paul McCartney also gifted Harrison a ukulele. That''s when I knew ukuleles were going mainstream. No more Don Ho jokes. No more Arthur Godfrey jokes. Ukuleles were cool. Ukulele For Guitar Players by Curt Sheller bets there''s a new wave of guitar players discovering the uke for the first time, or returning to the instrument. Modern virtuosos include Jake Shimabukuro, James Hill, and ukulele jazz legend Lyle Ritz. The book enables guitar players to make the transition to the ukulele by using basic open-position chords, movable-form chords, triads, advanced-jazz chords, and essential scales. An introduction to reading standard music notation on ukulele, Sheller highlights both the similarities and the differences between the instruments. One gets the feeling if George Harrison was still with us, he''d be getting this book as a gift. ( illinoisentertainer.com, Posted on March 30th, 2006 in Monthly, Gear)
