Book Reviews of Jumpin' Jim's '60s Uke-In: Ukulele Solo
Book Review: Easy & fun uke intro, but heavy on Beatles
Summary: 4 Stars
I started playing ukulele about two years ago, and this was the book I used to start. It has songs from very easy to early intermediate. I do have a musical background, but you don't have to be able to read music to use it. It's easy enough to figure out the tabs, and all of a sudden you're playing music instead of just fiddling around!
The book also has a list and tabs of all basic chords in the front, so you can translate for ukulele any other music books you may have.
Another great feature for those who don't read music or just don't want to spend time figuring it out, is that each song has the uke position for the starting lyric's note. So for instance if the note you would sing is B flat, it will tell you where to put your finger to get that note so you can sing along from there.
I only gave it four stars because it is a bit heavy on the Beatles. Also, it barely has anything sung by females. That's probably because 60s music by females is less conducive to ukulele (giving the benefit of the doubt), and the book makes up for it by putting songs in an easy-to-sing range for anyone.
BTW, the other Jumpin' Jim books are a bit more intermediate and also great fun!
