"Only Easy Music for Ukulele" is full of exactly that. All of the pieces herein are easy. You'll find a nice variety of popular classical melodies and favorite folk tunes from various traditions, all presented in simple textures and in keys that are comfortable to play on the ukulele. Nice repertoire for beginning ukulele players. Tablature and standard notation. Glossary, Notation Guide, and fingering diagrams for chords are provided. Many of the 41 tunes in this volume are melody only which can be played either with a pick or with the fingers of your right hand. Chords for an accompanist (and lyrics) are sometimes included. A few of the pieces are arranged in a simple two-voice fingerstyle or classical texture, and should be played with the fingers. The bass lines are mostly open string notes, so add a fuller sound without complicating the job of the left hand A handful of pieces use only the first 3 strings and can therefore be played on either an ukulele in standard reentrant tuning or one with a low G 4th string. A few of the tunes in this volume are also found within the first few pages of "Music for Classical and Fingerstyle Ukulele" or "More Music for Classical and Fingerstyle Ukulele." And a few pieces presented herein are treated to more complex arrangements in one of the above two books. Although the pieces are not strictly ordered from least to most challenging, those requiring the least technical skill are closer to the front of the book and those requiring the most experience are presented toward the end. All books by Whitaker for ukulele, including this one, can be previewed at the author's website. EllenWhitakerGuitar.com.
