Summary of This Method

Entitled Do-It-Yourself Ukulele, this method is designed for those who want to learn independently, with clear progression and modern materials. Through familiar songs and styles, you progress step by step through all the fundamentals of solid playing: handling the instrument, posture, sound, and rhythmic setup to accompany properly from the very first pages.

The content also covers music reading and tablature, to make you comfortable both with chord charts and melodic lines. You work on different types of chords, essential strumming patterns, notes on the fretboard, single-note melodies, as well as the use of scales to understand musical construction and develop your ear.

The method goes further with chapters dedicated to fingerpicking, technique building, and playing in the "song" spirit, without neglecting stylistic colors: you will find elements of blues playing, the use of a capo, and songs considered essential for the ukulele. The goal is to give you concrete musical reflexes, immediately applicable, to play solo or accompany other musicians.

For a complete learning experience, the book includes extensive online content created by Terry Carter, a recognized ukulele author and teacher on YouTube: 102 video tutorials and 87 audio tracks (demonstrations and accompaniments). The media are accessible via a unique code included in the book, available for download or streaming. The audios feature PLAYBACK+, a multifunction player allowing you to slow down without changing pitch, set loops, change key, and pan left/right to better isolate certain parts.
