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 01

9 x 12 inch page size

Large format, so it stays readable on a music stand without squinting at cramped chord grids.

Detail 02

Arranged for ukulele

Guitar and piano parts are condensed into uke chord shapes, not literal transcriptions of the records.

Detail 03

Songbook, not a method

Assumes you already know how to fret chords and strum; there's no technique instruction.

Detail 04

$17.99

Songbook pricing rather than a folio, so it's an easy add to an existing collection.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01You need to know basic ukulele chords already; this isn't a lesson book
  2. 02No CD or download audio included
  3. 03Arrangements are chord-and-melody for uke, not the original recorded parts

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01What tuning does this use?

It's written for standard ukulele, so the chord diagrams match a uke tuned the usual way. No retuning needed.

02Does it work on a baritone ukulele?

The chord shapes are written for standard soprano/concert/tenor tuning. A baritone is tuned differently, so the printed diagrams won't transfer directly.

03Are lyrics included?

It's a songbook, so it's built around playing and singing the songs rather than instrumental arrangements alone.

04Is it hard to play?

It depends on the song, but ukulele arrangements of pop material generally stay in common chord shapes. Knowing your open chords should get you through most of it.
