Baritone Ukulele Songbook: 100 All Time Classics

I am a player who has a very poor memory, making it challenging for me to play an instrument with more than four strings, or a song with more than a few chords. These may not be the coolest songs in the world (some humorously dated), but this book comes correct to represent a nice slice of the songs most considered folk standards. There are enough themed songs here for a kid or reasonable ambition to create their own Christmas presentation for their immediate family in the living room. If you want to do that, and you have a baritone ukelele, this book will give you I think around five songs like that or ones with similar religious themes. There are equally as many in Irish themes, for your old school bar sing-along type classics. You will also find just a couple which slipped from old school into a the rock cannon, including Scarborough Fair and House of the Rising Sun. I am here to tell you that I am a very poor player of very little ambition with this instrument, and I am totally capable of playing every one of these songs that I have tried so far. This is an encouraging book if you love the baritone ukelele but you don't necessarily have a knack for it. This has the diagrams of the chords on the same page as each song. That's really all that any of us really need, right?

Great book for average skill level! Lots of fun songs and the chords are easy to follow.

This is my second book. Just started working on. Songs are old fashioned but fun. Would have liked to have seen strumming patterns for each song.

I bought this book to have a handy resource for my Blueridge BR-40T Tenor guitar. It has been very handy to help with giving me easy arrangements, chord diagrams, and TAB for a nice assortment of familiar songs. I am an advanced beginner guitarist and started gcea tuned ukulele in March, so the DGBE tuning for my tenor guitar isn’t wholly unfamiliar. That being said having a book has given me a great starting point to be able to play around and become familiar with my instrument as I learn theory from other resources. I highly recommend for the recreational player like myself who wants chords and TaB to be able to quickly start playing! I originally gave 4 stars because there are some typos in the lyrics and a few omitted chord diagrams (the chord is written into the song but not diagramed on the song page with the others), but the value of what I did get in this book out weighs the omissions. Hopefully the editor or author will catch and correct them in a future edition. I would love to see additional books in this style, price point and for this tuning offered!

I'm a beginner musician. Can't pick a tune at all, just bought my first musical instrument at the young age of 70. Got a couple instructional booklets to help me get started, as well as small library of songs to learn to play. Yall wish me luck now.

Love the variety of songs. Yes you can find most of these somewhere online for free but I like having a real music book with the musical notation and chord diagrams. This book has useful tips for chord fingerings for beginners. I think it is great! I probably own over a hundred different music books for three different instruments (piano, guitar and ukulele). I wish it had been available as a spiral bound type, but that is easily remedied with a trip to Kinkos or similar copy store that can rebind the book. I am definitely enjoying playing the old favorites from this book.

This is a great product with a lot of great songs to play for my Uke.

Very, very basic - but that works for some.

This Baritone Ukulele book is great value compared to similar music books, most of which are disappointing and overpriced! The author even includes useful tips, masses of extra chord diagrams and very useful instructions on Strumming methods too. Great value for money.

Très satisfaite.

Easy to use with good songs

100 chansons anglo-saxonnes avec paroles et accords, super ! Par contre attention aux novices qui voudraient s'initier à l'ukulélé via ce recueil : les accords sont pour un ukulele bariton, donc a transcrire si vous avec un soprano, concert ou ténor.
