Great book of tunes. I especially like the chord chart above each song making it easier to review any new chords before playing.. The variation of the same basic chords helps to improve muscle memory for a beginner like me. Just great fun to sit and play for hours. Should have done it years ago.
Many ukulele groups or jam sessions use "The Daily Ukulele" (Normal Tuning) as their common song book of choice. Now those of us with a baritone can join them and play along without a major re-fingering problem at each song. It's also a great source for songs and chords that you can improvise upon to your own taste without starting from scratch. A great addition to the anemic baritone ukulele library! I'm waiting for the "Leap Year" edition to make it over to my side.
An excellent collection of songs suited for the ukulele (with lyrics). Allows a baritone (DGBE) uke player to play together with a soprano/concert/tenor (GCEA) uke player without having to transpose, since all songs are written in the same key (assuming, of course, that both the GCEA as well as the DGBE editions of the book are available to the respective performers.
I bought this book after having a chance to borrow it from a friend. Interesting thing is she plays 4 string banjo which has the same tuning as the baritone ukulele, and I play guitar, the 4 upper strings of which shares tuning with baritone ukulele. This fake book has lots of good old and newer songs, the best fake book I've seen in a good while. It was exactly what I expected, including the comb binding which allows the pages to lie flat. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
GOOD book. I would've given it FIVE stars, but a LOT of songs that need to be rearranged because the TWO lower strings (E and A) are missing on the baritone uke. Evidently, according is the prominent playing method. BUMMER. I'm NOT adept enough to change keys/chords, and/or, I'd have to write the notes out in a higher octave.
It's very convenient that everyone in the uke band that I play with has this same fine selection of songs. Author's family photos are a nice touch and the song selection is varied and chord illustrated, all arranged for best sound on the ukulele. In my area just about any place you go to play the uke you'll find others using this book.
This book is a re-do of the "normal" Daily Ukulele book which was arranged for GCEA. However the "re-do" consists only of printing baritone chords. The keys have not been changed. This means that a very great many of the melodies in the book CANNOT be played on the baritone which has no note lower than a D. To be kind, I would say this is false advertising. All you get are the chords for the baritone and the chords for many of these songs can be easily found on the web -- or for that matter ANY fake book.To be a real Baritone version, the keys should have been changed. But of course a lot of work was saved by just using the melody arrangements from the other Daily Ukulele book (GCEA). So if you buy this book you will be looking for songs which have no melody note lower than a D. If you have Band-in-a-Box and can find the songs in BIAB format you can switch the keys and print out the melodies in a key that will work on the baritone. (Maybe Garage Band will also do this?)This is too bad, because the book has a wonderful collection of songs.
I also have the regular ukulele edition. It's good to have both the baritone and the soprano versions for me since I have both types of ukuleles.
