A chord-based path from basic strumming to solo ukulele arrangements

Calvin Chin’s 120-page ukulele guide is organized around expanding the player’s chord vocabulary across the instrument’s strings. It introduces major, minor, seventh, augmented, diminished, and major-seventh chords, pairing that material with approaches to both strumming and picking. Thirty-seven song scores—along with some more advanced versions—provide practice material for applying the chord work, while the book also addresses playing songs as solo arrangements. The emphasis is practical repertoire-building: moving beyond a small set of familiar tunes toward a wider range of songs and techniques.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning ukulele players who want to build chord knowledge
  • Players interested in combining strumming, picking, and solo-song playing
  • Adult learners seeking song-based practice material

Book overview

Maybe you found your Uncle Henry's old ukulele in a storage box someplace, and you'd kind of like to play it a little. Maybe you just bought a new one, picturing yourself entertaining friends. And maybe you wish you could get beyond "Kumbayya" or "I've Been Working on the Railroad."

This is the book for you. Because in just a few weeks it can teach you a way to strum and pick so many chords that you can learn hundreds of songs, and develop a repertoire that'll amaze and delight everyone who hears you play!

These lessons show you how to find a whole octave worth of chords on each string of the instrument: majors...minors...sevenths...augmented and diminished...major 7ths...and all the others that'll let you make music. Real music. And it includes 37 song scores (plus some advanced versions) to practice on. You'll even be able to play songs as solos, when you really want to impress your audiences.

Come on--enjoy this breakthrough! Learn how to really play one of the most pleasurable instruments ever made!
