5.0 out of 5 stars easy book for beginners, fun for advanced musicians., September 14, 2004

By	microminimalist (st. louis, mo. USA) - See all my reviews

I am a piano teacher, and decided that I wanted to learn an instrument "just for the heck of it." I picked the ukelele pretty randomly, and stumbled across this book in the store I bought my instrument. What a great book! Tons of awesome songs, a lot of which are from the brilliant Beatles catalogue, and the arrangements are in fairly easy keys, with very clear chord symbols. The chord chart at the beginning of the book was very easy to use, and Jumpin' Jim's pointers were good both for an experienced musician and a novice. I highly reccomend this one - a lot of content for a very reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Groovy Man!, January 9, 2007

By	John R. Kathrein (Arlington Heights, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There is no way you can play a uke' and not have this book!! The songs in this book compelled my 17 year old daughter to snatch my uke' and learn
to play these fun songs. Her favorite: "Here Comes The Sun". My friends love to sing along whenever I pull this book out. Really!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners., September 25, 2005

By	Speculaas (Toronto, Canada.) - See all my reviews

I disagree with the previous reviewer. As a beginner with no musical backround I can tell you the songs in this book (about one third of them Beatles tunes) are too difficult for me. I also own two other Jim Beloff books (Camp Uke and Ukulele Country) which are much more my speed. Never-the-less this is still an excellent book with a lot of fun songs. The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is because it is not much use to me now. I would say this book is for intermediate players.
