FAMOUS SOLOS AND DUETS FOR THE UKULELE by John King Photo

FAVORITE UKE TUNES by Norm Jones Photo

The format was developed by Jones, a self-taught, non-music reading ukulele enthusiast who was unable to find the songs that he wanted in just a lyric/chord format so he developed his own. He later added thematic graphics to make the sheets more attractive. The music is not provided, so it is necessary that the player know the tune. However, this is a great format for people who either play, or would like to play, the ukulele but don't read music. Beginners. 88 pp.
