WHY
THESE CHORD-SOLOS ARE EASY TO LEARN
1. EASY
TO LEARN SONGS: We begin with
bugle calls (one-chord songs), then use a number of folk songs which are based
on two chords.
2. MOST
FAMILIAR KEYS: You’ll find many of
the easiest, most familiar keys (F,G,C, and Bb) which you are used to using on
the ukulele.
3. LOW
G-String: We use the lower
G-string (4th string, an octave lower than the standard uke 4th string) which expands the range of the ukulele. A bonus low G-string is included with your purchase of the
book.
4. EASY
CHORD PATTERNS: Using fewer and
easier chord patterns enables the player to more easily learn the first solo,
and then to go on to the next song with greater ease
and confidence.
5. SONGS WITH AN EASY RANGE:
Songs that have a range of just one octave, or less, are easier. HOME ON THE RANGE (Which you are
hearing as you read this page) has only an octave range, and FINLANDIA,
and AURA LEE (LOVE ME TENDER), with less than an octave range,
are great examples.
6. A CD OF THE 50 SOLOS, PERFORMED BY JAMES HILL, is included with
the purchase of the book.
7. EASY NOTE-FINDER SYSTEM: We
also use a unique and simple method of locating the single notes which appear
between chord tones.
