Format:Paperback
A very accessible songbook for beginners and more talented folk alike. If, like me, you're not particularly interested in theory and just want to learn the chords to a few pop songs then this is just the thing. The finger positions for all the relevant chords are written at the top of the page, and it is just a matter of learning how to progress through them quickly enough to sound competent.
There is a good range of songs from the beguilingly easy (Creep, by Radiohead or Back for Good, by Take That) to the gallingly difficult (Song 2, by Blur). The full list is:
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, by Monty Python
Back For Good, by Take That
Bittersweet Symphony, by The Verve
Build Me Up Buttercup, by The Foundations
Come On Eileen, by Dexy's Midnight Runners
Crazy Little Thing Called Love, by Queen
Creep, by Radiohead
Daydream Believer, by The Monkees
Don't Get Me Wrong, by The Pretenders
Flagpole Sitta, by Harvey Danger
Flourescent Adolescent, by Arctic Monkeys
Foundations, by Kate Nash
Go Your Own Way, by Fleetwood Mac
Happy Together, by The Turtles
Hit The Road Jack, by Ray Charles
Hotel California, by The Eagles
House Of Fun, by Madness
I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles), by The Proclaimers
Isn't She Lovely, by Stevie Wonder
Kids In America, by Kim Wilde
Last Nite, by The Strokes
Never Want To Say It's Love, by Dido
Nutbush City Limits, by Tina Turner
Song 2, by Blur
Sweet About Me, by Gabriella Cilmi
That's Not My Name, by The Ting Tings
The Man Who Sold The World, by Nirvana
The Passenger, by Iggy Pop
Valerie, by Amy Winehouse
Wild Thing, by The Troggs
You're Beautiful, by James Blunt
My only query is that although the chords to Sweet About Me sound good on their own, they don't appear to match the ones played in Gabriella Cilmi's version of the song. Is her release in a different key, or was my ukulele out of tune?

The best thing about playing the ukulele is that your basic chords are so easy to play and with just three or four chords, your on your way to belting out some of the greatest tunes ever written. Forget George Formby, even though his tunes are as popular today, we are talking classic tunes from The Arctic Monkeys, The Beatles, Queen, Blur, Stevie Wonder, Madness, John Denver, Ting Tings, Amy Winehouse, The Troggs, Johnny Cash, Green Day...the list goes on. Not all these songs are three or four chords mind, but most are so simple you will be able to rattle them off in no time, believe me as I have only been playing over a month and have very little musical skills! You get the 'bar chords' picture to show how to play that chord, lyrics, time signature etc. A great book for beginners or acomplished uke players alike. Join the Ukulele revolution now with this amazing book!

Really pleased with this book, particularly with the Fleetwood Mac's "go your own way", which I could soon play, although it will take some practice to get to a reasonable standard, but still highly enjoyable. I will take on quite a few songs and then look at the rest of the series (e.g. white book, yellow etc).
