Rating: - Perfect for beginners
This is a perfect book for beginners. I bought an ukulele, and this book three years ago, and now I'm playing in bands and having a great time.
One of the things I like most about this particular book (which I would like to see in other books) is that simplified chords are given for each song, with more complex chords in parentheses, so that as you progress you can return to songs you've learned earlier in the book and play them with more complexity.

Rating: - A great way to learn!
I am a piano player and previously took guitar lessons so I know how to read music and some string basics. For me, this book was great - the progression of lessons is very good. I had a lot of trouble learning the correct strums so got the companion DVD. I recommend that to everyone - the book and DVD are a great combination and you'll be on the road to success!

Rating: - Buy this book if you love to be confused and frustrated
Jumpin' Jim's book begins with some very basic instruction on the fundamentals of the ukulele. Then it proceeds with some "simple" songs to play, that would be simple if Jumpin' Jim didn't expect you to inherently know where to place your fingers on the fretboard to acheive the particular notes, and rather informed in the introduction. After flipping through the book to see if there is any sort of diagram that would shed some light on where to place your fingers you will find an incredibly confusing ... Read More
