Fingerstyle Ukulele for the Absolute Beginner – 12 Progressive Pieces to Learn Tab, Notation & Technique on High-G Ukulele
Learn to play beautiful fingerstyle ukulele from day one!
Pick Pluck Play! Book 1 is designed for absolute beginners who want to start plucking, reading music, and playing real songs right away. With 12 progressive pieces, you’ll develop technique, rhythm, and musical expression step by step — from open-string fingerpicking to confident two-hand coordination. Each piece includes tablature, notation, and chord symbols, perfect for solo practice, duet, or classroom learning.
Designed for high-G (re-entrant) ukulele, this book begins with simple right-hand fingerpicking and gradually adds musical and technical skills. By the final piece, you’ll be reading notes, playing melodies, and coordinating both hands while exploring musical expression, dynamics, and tempo.
What you’ll learn in Book 1:
- Fingerpicking with your right hand — one finger at a time
- Reading tablature and standard notation
- Understanding key signatures and time signatures (2/2, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4)
- Recognizing rhythmic patterns, dynamics, and tempo changes
- Exploring major and minor modes and musical styles like waltz, march, and lullaby
- Applying left-hand techniques such as hammer-ons and pull-offs
- Using optimal fingering for smooth transitions between notes
- Following repeats and shortcuts such as D.C. al Fine
- Building musical vocabulary and concepts to develop as a musician
- Expanding harmonic understanding through different kinds of chords
Each piece includes chord names above the staff, allowing you to play duets or be accompanied by another ukulele, guitar, piano, or instrumental ensemble. The final page offers a convenient chord reference chart for all chords used in the book.

About the Economy Edition:
This BLACK & WHITE edition contains the same musical content as the Full Color version, including all pieces, notation, tablature, and chord symbols. Chord names are bolded in dark grey rather than color, making this edition ideal for students who wish to focus primarily on reading standard notation and tablature without visual emphasis on chords. A practical, affordable option for focused study, classrooms, and large group use. Especially suitable for classroom use, group classes, libraries, and studios where affordability and clear notation are priorities.
