This is the long-awaited sheet music book from Jake Shimabukuro, ukulele phenom. 11 of the songs are from his hits that are on Peace Love Ukulele and there are two bonus songs so the contents:
143 (Kelly's song)
Bohemian Rhapsody
Bring Your Adz
Boy Meets Girl
Go For Broke
Trapped 2010
Variation On A Dance 2010
Pianoforte 2010
Five Dallars Unleaded 2010
Ukulele Bros.
Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
And the bonus two songs:
Hula Girls
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
This is more advanced music in Jake's signature style: beginners will be frustrated, intermediate players will be challenged. The book includes standard music notation, ukulele tablature and chord designation but not chord diagram. The print is a bit fine, in order to put the songs onto a reasonable number of pages, but I found the print rather light and thin. Special techniques (tremolo, slides, hammer on, etc) are noted in the tablature. The book is thin enough to sit well on a music stand, but I find it difficult to read (but I wear bifocals.) Younger folks will probably not have an issue with the fineness of the print. The arrangements are not simplified; this is not dumbed-down.
If you adore Jake's brilliant style, and if you aspire to play his music, you will want to own this book.
