Which ukulele?,
By Heli "Bookwurm" (Amsterdam) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Teach Yourself to Play Ukulele (Paperback)
This book teaches the ADFsharpB tuning for a soprano ukulele. You should be aware of that.
The tuning of a ukulele is according to the type/size of ukulele (soprano, concert, tenor or baritone). The best known types are the soprano and the concert ukulele. Some books adopt as standard for the soprano ukulele the GCEA tuning, with as an alternative the ADFsharpB tuning. Some books call the GCEA tuning the concert tuning, other books call it a soprano tuning. So always check first for which tuning the book was written and check what they mean with 'soprano' tuning." This book has no tablature, as it is focused on chords and the classical notation in the book is meant for singing.

I should have read the reviews before buying,

This review is from: Teach Yourself to Play Ukulele (Paperback)
This book assume your ukulele is tuned to A-D-F#-B tuning which is pretty non-standard. Every other ukulele instruction book and songbook I've seen assumes standard G-C-E-A tuning.
If you are just getting started in learning to play, I think you should look elsewhere for a beginner's instruction book as you will seldom encounter the tuning presented here.

Good lessions, but in a different key (A D F# B instead of G C E A),
By
This review is from: Teach Yourself to Play Ukulele (Paperback)
The lessons are simple and progress at a good pace. However, the instructor tunes his ukulele A D F# B instead of the more common G C E A. If you plan to use any other books (or play with other ukulele players), this could be confusing. I liked Heeday's How to Pick & Strum the Ukulele, Volume 1 better.
