Why do we use the Favorite Old-Time American Songs Book? 
  • Many Roots sing-alongs, song circles, strums and jams do not have sheets with all the song/tune info and lyrics. The participants learn the song over time and then, play the chords, sing the lyrics and/or play the melody. 
  •  The Favorite Old-Time book breaks the songs or tunes into two sections or pages. The first has ALL the info about the song, including Staff, Key, Time Signature, Melody Notes, Chord Names, Chord Shapes, Lyrics, and Tablature (TAB). On the first, you learn all about and practice the song or tune. Get it ALL in your head so you really know it. The second has ONLY lyrics. Once you really know the song from the first, play it from the second. This is an excellent way to truly learn a song.

Ukester Brown's website 
  • Ukester Brown is a ukulele player from Minnesota. Ukester Brown says, "while it's true we are not known for normal ukulele tropical weather, we do love music in every style. Our ukulele community is getting larger here too."​

Ukester Brown
  • "The main purpose of this site is to make available chord charts and lyrics for songs that we have 'forgotten.' I will have the verses as well as the chorus of the song in my arrangements and links to Youtube that may help you learn and enjoy the songs for yourself."

FOR ALL UKULELE PLAYERS!
     NOT JUST BEGINNERS!

What Ukulele Players Really Want To Know: The Owners Manual For Ukulele Beginners - At about $9 for paperback and $4 for an ebook, this is a REALLY great resource!  Click here to order online. Amazon Editors say,

The bestselling beginners guide and handbook for the ukulele aimed specifically at new players or those thinking of taking up the uke. Many ukulele guides available are far too prescriptive and quite simply don't provide the answers to the common questions a beginner has. Whilst they concentrate on useful technique and provide sample songs to play, in my experience they leave the new player with a lot of questions unanswered. This book aims to fill in those gaps. It's not a tutor book, it's a book to answer all the other stuff!​


FOR ALL UKULELE PLAYERS!
NOT JUST BEGINNERS!

​​Not for dummies! Just a super book written in easy to understand language. Click here for the Ukulele for Dummies book. I use and recommend Ukulele For Dummies for virtually all the ukulele classes I teach.
