The UKE!

I was wondering if anybody knows of any good books on playing the Ukelele. It's something I've always wanted to do.

Thanks

Aloha Sparticus65000,

In regards to your question about the ukulele...I'm learning to play too. I'm a musician whose been playing bass guitar for over 20 years in every type of band from surf to hardcore punk. Last Christmas my wife received a Ukulele from my niece (also a bass player formerly of Ballgagger & The Neptunas). She figured that since my wife's from Hawaii she would like the ukulele...It sat for 6 months before I decided it was a sin for any musical instrument to be neglected...and since it has four strings and my bass has four strings maybe I should give it a try. I started by buying a good electronic tuner at Guitar Center to make sure it was tuned right (had a bad experience with a Sitar my brother gave me several years ago). To make a long story short, the guy you need to talk to is Joseph Souza the owner of Kanile'a 'Ukulele of Hawaii. His address is [email protected]. He offers a great selection of beginner & advanced chord & song books at good prices.

Mahalo,

TRADER HORN
