My experience with beginning ukulele books has been pretty uniformlydisappointing. They all promise to include everything you couldpossibly need to know, when in in my experience they have all beenthin, padded with useless filler, and lacking a coherent path to getfrom "here" to "there".This book is a __VERY__ welcome change, and at a sweet price to boot.To be sure, it is not a beginner's book. The very first song (SloopJohn B.) has a tricky rhythm (e.g., three quarter notes in two beats)and a shuffle strum with some down strokes missing; as a result,only about half of the words actually coincide with a strum. This isnot a criticism of the book, just pointing out the level of difficultyyou'll hit in the first few pages. Fortunately for me (an arhythmicklutz) the focus of the book is on learning the fretboard !I must say that the CD is a huge help. My beginner's books either hadno CD at all, or the recordings were so dorky that I felt impatient tomove ahead and get to some "real" music. The teacher on this CD,however, has a very inviting style, and you get the feeling that hewould be a fun person to jam with or watch in performance. A big plusif your skills require you to listen to the same track over and overand over...This book is not about music theory per se, but but rather a practicalframework for learning how to physically hit the right notes; i.e.,it doesn't attempt to describe *why* you would use a D7b5 chord, butit helps you develop the skill so that when you have to play one youknow what your various options are and you can get your fingers in theright place without thinking too much.
