Mel Bay Learn To Play Fingerstyle Solos for Ukulele - NO CD

Please note that the CD for this book is long lost.  It is still a decent book and if you are interested in fingerstyle ukulele it will serve you well.

----

While the ‘ukulele is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance on the mainland, in its Hawaiian birthplace it has never gone out of style. Hawaiians embraced the “jumping flea” from the very beginning, creating music of remarkable beauty and versatility. This book invites intermediate players to explore elegant fingerstyle solo arrangements of classic Hawaiian songs, folk tunes, standards, and even a selection from the classical guitar repertoire.

Featuring 27 carefully crafted arrangements from around the world, all written in both standard notation and tablature, the book is suitable for any ‘ukulele. The pieces are arranged progressively, beginning with simpler tunes that are well within reach of dedicated beginners and intermediate players, and gradually moving toward more advanced selections that include unusual chord voicings, up-the-neck inversions, intricate fingerings, and plenty of musical challenges to keep players inspired.

Originally, a companion CD was included to demonstrate all of the songs; however, please note that the CD is no longer available with this copy. The book itself still provides comprehensive chord charts, inversion studies, and clear introductory material on finger-picking and transitioning from strumming to melodic playing, making it a valuable resource for players ready to expand their skills.
