Does the world really need another uke book? We think it does - you see, many experienced beginner/intermediate ukulele players grow frustrated by their inability to understand and follow the music they play. Instead of blindly following the chords on the page, they want to be able to 'hear and feel' the music they play in the same way an experienced musician does!

 

This is where Next Level Ukulele comes in - simply follow the step-by-step method in this book (with over 100 play-along tracks included) and see your musical skills improve dramatically. By focusing on really listening and learning to recognise the sounds in the music you play, you can go beyond basic ukulele playing and begin to think, hear and feel like a real musician. 

 

Next Level Ukulele comes with over 100 play-along backing tracks demonstrating most of the examples in the book. These are used to teach you to hear and recognise what you hear in the songs you play - chords, chord progressions, keys and key changes, common rhythmic patterns and more.

 

Next Level Ukulele shows you how to:

Learn to play 'by ear'. This is how many musicians can work out and play songs they've never even played before!
