Frustrated with your ukulele playing? Stuck in a rut and need some inspiration? Maybe you need to stop memorising and start understanding?
Most ukulele books teach chords.This book teaches how music works with some of the most beautiful ukulele chords you'll ever play.
Beautiful 'Ukulele Chord Scales is designed to help you see the connections between chords, scales, melody, and harmony in a way that is practical, musical, and fun. It will make you a better ukulele player.
Chord scales unlock richer arrangements, more melodic playing, and a deeper understanding of how music works. Whether you're a beginner looking for direction, an intermediate player feeling stuck, or a songwriter searching for FRESH IDEAS, this book will help you approach the ukulele-and music itself-from an entirely new perspective.
When I was a young boy sitting around a campfire watching college students play music, I remember thinking: How do they do that?
That question launched a journey of musical discovery that continues to this day.
For more than 26 years, I've taught music using a method that empowers students to move beyond memorization and into understanding. The concepts in this book have helped me build a career performing around the world at festivals, concerts, corporate events, weddings, restaurants, and other live music venues.
Inside this book you'll discover:
- Why the C Major scale is one of the most important building blocks in music
- Eleven beautiful chord scale variations that connect scales and harmony in a fresh, practical, inspiring way
- The Nashville Number System, one of the most powerful tools for understanding songs, chord progressions, and musical relationships
- A working musician's mindset that will help you practice more effectively and continue growing long after you've finished the book
If you're interested in fingerstyle ukulele, songwriting, arranging, or simply becoming a more complete musician, you'll find ideas here that can transform the way you play.
Real material. Real results. From a real musician who once sat around a campfire wondering how it was all possible.
Whether your goal is to play with greater confidence, create richer music, or finally understand what you're playing, Beautiful 'Ukulele Chord Scales will help you take the next step.
I'd be honored to be part of your musical journey.
Let's play ukulele!
