Learning the Ukulele Fingerboard

Memorizing "The Notes of the Ukulele Fingerboard" Is Not As Hard As One Would Think.

Learning the Ukulele Fingerboard — It is astonishing that on any other instrument it would be silly and not accepted to not know the names of the notes and where they are on your own instrument. But — on the ukulele, guitar and most fretted instruments their players do not know the names intuitively — they can figure them out but that takes way too long. Granted it's not as easy as the piano where higher and lower notes move in one direction only, are color coded and even at different heights. Anyone after the first or second lesson can instantly name any key on the piano.

Finally, really learning and knowing the notes of the Ukulele Fingerboard is a liberating movement in ones musical development and opens the ukulele up for. It also allows you the flexibility of not having to remember so many shapes. There are simply way too many chords, scale and notes patterns, and shapes to remember. It all comes down the notes.

In this workshop your get proven, time-test methods to actually get a handle on this daunting task. And, it really, really pays off.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books!Peter Rhee
