The Ukulele Fakebook Review (Hal Leonard)

        I picked this up as I was curious about it,and it doesn't disappoint. First awesome thing is the size- a mere 8 1/2 by 5 1/2" inches,comb bound,(so the pages lay flat) and the book is a whopping 2" thick. For beginners,there's chord grids at the top of every song,which make it convenient.
       There's an amazingly wide selection of songs in here- from 20's tunes to folk,to pop,country,rock,and blues.  No matter what your taste,you're bound to find a lot of songs you like in here! What did surprise me is that "happy birthday" isn't in it,and that's a public domain song. (you're bound to get asked to play that at least once)
        I should mention this is strictly a strum and sing book,unless you can read music for uke- then all the melody is there for every song in standard notation.
        And if you play guitalele,this book will work for you as well! Merely play the upper 4 strings if you're wanting it in a pure uke way,or use all 6 strings and play it as a guitalele. (you'll need to know your guitalele chords for this!)
           The book is a whopping 686 pages,highly portable,tho one of the drawbacks might be the smaller print for those with senior eyes. For buskers,this could be a little gold mine. To order yourself a copy,click on the photo of the cover above,and you'tt be whisked away to where you can order one today from me! I'll ship it free!

    I started this blog on Blogger where it's been for several years-but it's gotten to be such a hassle logging in I decided to move it here to Weebly.
