This is a channel to go with a book I've written.

About Me:
The videos in the playlist go with the book. The videos are not great performances, but they are meant simply to demonstrate the playing of tunes while strumming the chords.
The book is entitled:
_Make Your Own Ukulele Chord Solos: A Basic Guide_ ISBN: 978-0-646-51909-8
This book is intended for ukulele strummers who would like to play the tune as they strum the chords.
I am not a trained musician, but this book is not intended for trained musicians. I like to play my sort of music, but this book is designed to help you play your sort of music.
I've used old, public domain tunes, but these are means not ends. That is, they are used to show that
- a tune's notes are usually found in the chords of the tune
- the notes that aren't in the chords can be reached anyway
- a tune can be transposed into a playable key
- the ukulele's reentrant tuning (the high 4th string) can be used to play the melody
and other stuff (like, you can get by without knowing too much about music).
