Summary of This Book
This ukulele songbook is especially aimed at guitarists (and curious ukulele players) who want to explore the alternative tuning with a low G string, often called "low G". Thanks to this bass string, the register is enriched and the playing gains depth, with a sensation closer to that of a guitar with low strings.
The arrangements are based on the "melody-chords" principle: you play the melody of the piece while integrating the harmony, to achieve an autonomous and dynamic result. The book features techniques borrowed from classical guitar (voicings, bass lines, voice leading) as well as folk guitar (rhythms, chord progressions, singing accompaniment), to create engaging versions perfectly suited for solo playing.
Written by Patrick Steinbach, these arrangements are designed to be accessible while remaining musical. The repertoire includes major pop/rock standards and essential ballads, notably Ain't Nobody, Angie, Californication, Hallelujah, Hey Jude, Let It Be, and Nothing Else Matters. The book also includes an introduction (Preface / Vorwort), notes "About The Songs / Über die Songs," and chord diagrams (Chord Diagrams / Grifftabelle) to facilitate learning and setup.
