AlfredAlfred's Teach Yourself to Play Ukulele C-Tuning Edition Book & CD
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A self-teaching ukulele course with an audio CD, in standard C tuning. For a beginner learning alone, without a teacher.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First-time ukulele players learning at home with no instructor
- Guitarists adding ukulele who want chord shapes laid out
- Anyone who learns better hearing examples than reading them
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who already know open chords and strumming patterns
- Anyone tuning in D or using a baritone uke
- People with no CD player and no way to rip the disc
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Includes a CD
You hear the strum and the tempo instead of guessing from the page. Big deal when self-teaching.
Detail 03
Teach-yourself format
Sequenced to be worked front to back alone, with each step assuming the previous page is done.
Detail 04
Chord diagrams over notation
Beginner books lean on grids and strum patterns, so no prior music reading is required to start.
Detail 05
Twenty-dollar price
Method-book pricing. It is a starting course, not a lifetime reference library.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Ukulele not included — you need one already
- 02Audio is on a physical CD; many laptops no longer have a drive
- 03Tune to gCEA first or the chord shapes will sound wrong
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my ukulele?
If it is soprano, concert, or tenor tuned gCEA, yes. Baritone ukuleles use different tuning and different chord shapes.
02Do I need to read music?
No. A teach-yourself beginner course starts from chord diagrams and strumming, and builds reading gradually if at all.
03Is the audio a download or a disc?
It ships as a physical CD. Plan to rip it to your phone if you have no disc player.
04Is a ukulele included?
No. This is a book and CD only. You need an instrument and a tuner before starting page one.
