Synopsis

Note: this book is for baritone ukuleles. For all other ukulele types you'll want the non-baritone edition. Learn everything you need to know to play on your own or at your local ukulele meet-up!

The Square One Ukulele series teaches you all the skills necessary to strum chords and play melodies out of any songbook that comes your way. All pages feature large, easy-to-read print of the words, chords and music, and are complimented by the lesson videos and recordings found at squareoneuke.com.

Square Two covers the following skills:
-Advanced song forms (i.e D.C. al fine, D.S. al coda, multiple endings)
-Barre chords and other advanced chord shapes
-Sixteenth and triplet rhythms
-Playing songs in a compound meter (6/8 time signature)
-Advanced strum patterns

The book contains 14 songs - a mix of originals by the author in addition to well-known pieces such as “House of the Rising Sun” and “Clementine” – that introduce new chords, strum patterns and song forms in a logical order.
