Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this teach you how to play ukulele?
No. It's a songbook, not a method book. You should already know how to fret basic chords and strum before using it.
02Can I use this with a guitar?
The chord diagrams are for ukulele in GCEA tuning. The chord names still apply to guitar, but the fingerings shown do not.
03Is there melody or tab included?
No. It's lyrics with chord symbols placed above them — the standard chord songbook layout.
04What size ukulele does this work with?
Any ukulele in standard GCEA tuning — soprano, concert, or tenor. The chord shapes are identical across those sizes.
