Never played a uke and want to get a head start - before the jam? Two great resources!
- The Daily Ukulele: 365 Songs For Better Living - Often just called the Yellow Book. Paperback and Kindle versions at Amazon. Click here an e-book version for your iPad. Basic "how to" instructions at the beginning. Paperback versions at Cadenza Music and Groth Music. THE BEST songbook for ukulele songs!
- The Complete What Ukulele Players Really Want To Know, available at Amazon. This is NOT a how to play or a song book, but has been called an 'owners manual for new players' - an answer to all those niggling questions that will hit you when you first start playing.
