Author's Note Through years of research I've collected over 400 two-chord songs. This collection represents the cream of the crop; 157 songs in a single volume.
Why two-chord songs? I spend a lot of time teaching people to play the ukulele, and two-chord songs are great for a lot of things:
- Introducing basic chord pairs
- Hammering the transition between those pairs
- Teaching chord relationships
- Training the ear to hear these relationships
- Gaining practice in transposing songs
- A feeling of accomplishment for beginners
- A jumping off point for intermediate players to begin embellishing chords
- A blank slate for advanced players to begin working on chord substitutions and arranging
- A safe place for players of all levels to jam
So, whether you're new to the uke or a veteran player, this book is for you.
