Uke'n Play Ukulele

This newly updated edition of the bestselling Uke'n Play Ukulele book will get beginners of any age strumming chords and playing songs in no time. Written by professional player and educator Mike Jackson, the book features his instant play method together with downloadable play-along audio.

The book begins with the basics - chord diagrams and tuning - before delving into Mike Jackson's unique method that will help you remember where to put your fingers for different chords. Once you've mastered this, Uke'n Play will teach you 25 great songs.

The songs get progressively more challenging with each featuring chord diagrams, lyrics and chord symbols, helping you to learn to play the Ukulele by practising strumming the chords while also playing 25 recognisable tunes.

The accompanying audio downloads will let you tune up, hear the songs how they should sound, then let you play along with a full backing band. Some songs feature Mike's handy hints so learning the Uke goes as smoothly as possible.

If you've struggled to learn to play the Ukulele because you can't remember the chords, or you just want to polish up the basics while playing songs like You Are My Sunshine, Drunken Sailor and Que Sera Sera, Uke'n Play is an instant play method that truly does work.

Mike Jackson is a professional Ukulele player and multi-instrumentalist who has sold over 250, 000 albums and performed extensively across Australia and the rest of the world.
