Everybody's Ukulele Method 1

Bien

When this book first arrived, I paged through it and thought "Another waste of money. I don't care about tabs, I want chords and the book doesn't even get to them until page 30 and there's only 47 pages in the whole book." Well now, having to spend more time in the house, I picked it up again just for the heck of it. Shame on me. This book is a treasure chest. I am learning and relearning more about ukulele playing than I ever imagined! I am learning notes as well as chords and music theory I had never paid any attention to before. I downloaded the free recordings and try to play along. I'm so slow I haven't been able to get past pp.8-9! I am definitely a beginner but if I stick with this book I have hope of advancing a bit. Thanks, Ukulele Mike. May you rest in peace.

I use this book to teach ukulele for all ages. It's designed for absolute beginners who may not know how to read music (I believe reading music is an important skill), but for those who do not want to learn, there's tab for every song. It starts with moving the left hand on the fretboard with single note melodies (right hand can use a pick or fingerstyle) which is the perfect preparation for later chord work. The left hand needs to know how to navigate before complex chord formations are accessible. It steps through the notes in a great progressive manner and addresses chords later on. I also use Everybody's Guitar Method for teaching and FJH's young beginner guitar method. These are great method books for teaching, with clean layouts and of course public domain songs, which is typical of most method books. Some of these songs are originals though and have a more modern feel than Oh Susannah or other songs like that.

Very clear and easy to follow for learning notes on your Ukulele strings and Music Theory well layed out and easy to comprehend.I reccomend this book for those wanting to further their knowledge of Music and playing Uke.

I love it - I found out about the author through a you tube tutorial. The book is easy to use and makes me want to get the next one. I played Happy Birthday to my son using this resource over the phone (okay - my playing needs a lot practice), My son liked it!Thank you xox Sarah

Starts with the basics, including how to hold the instrument, strumming, playing notes on each string, music reading fundamentals, playing chords, lots of songs to practice. Everything you need to get going with an uke!

Excellent book for learning notes on strings and fingerpicking. There is some good information on chords and strumming styles but I was hoping for more strumming tips.

Bought this book at the recommendation of my uke teacher, and I'm so glad I bought it. It has just the right amount of music theory woven in with practicing songs.

Das Heft eignet sich sehr gut für Anfänger. Alles ist sehr gut erklärt, allerdings leider nur auf englisch.Es gibt für fast alle Lieder ein Hörbeispiel mit Melodiespiel und Begleitakkkorden.Leider gibt es von Mike Lynch nur drei Liederbücher. Ich besitze alle und kann alle weiterempfehlen.

Have been struggling for a while with Tabs this book is very helpful.

Mike Lynch has to be the best online tutor for the ukulele and is really good at explaining things to beginners

An excellent source of learning steps applicable to informally helping others in our group.

Clear and structured tutor book.
