Joey's Book Recommendations...

This is no doubt the BEST ukulele chord book ever made! 

You will definitely find this book a treasure to own at a very affordable price! 

Thank you Mr. Roy Sakuma.  

Mel Bay is the BIGGEST music publishing company's in the world.  There are a number of books available for ukulele,

but I really like this one a lot!  Although you may see notations of what fingers to use in other books, this one actually shows actual pictures

of someone playing the specified notes.  Excellent work Mel Bay!   

The author of this and many other ukulele books, Heeday Kimura,

has really put a lot of work in really giving a complete breakdown of the ukulele for ukulele players of all levels (beginners to advanced).  

I really love this book, mainly because it was COMPLETELY hand written.  

That's a true sign of passion for this awesome instrument!  As deserved, Mel Bay later helped Heeday to publish

and recognize his hard work!

Truly a master of ukulele, Lyle Ritz has offered thru Jim Beloff's company (Flea Market Music), jazz arrangements for ukulele.  

Jazz chords on an ukulele are incredibly mezmorizing and beautiful to the ears.  Not only does his books give you the FULL arrangements,

but it also comes with a CD to actually hear Lyle playing every song himself.  Amazing!

Without a doubt, Bruddah IZ (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole), 

has brought the ukulele mainstream exposure and his beautiful music to the world.

Although no longer w/ us today, his music lives on and strong!  

This book gives you ALL OF IT!  Tabs, chords, lyrics and rhythmic notations so you can play the songs

note for note as Iz had played them.  Much aloha and respect to Iz and Warner Bros Publications for providing this book to the public!
