An excerpt from the Mel Bay Hawaiian Uke Songbook by Ken Eidson and Ross Cherednik
A superb collection of 53 Hawaiian favorites arranged for uke solo. It includes instruction on chords, “vamping”, reading tablature and notation, note location on the fingerboard, scales and scale exercises, and rhythm, plus special uke techniques. Basic chords are summarized and “Rhythmic Strumming, Hawaiian Style” is taught. A section on advanced chords is also included. Although this book is written for the standard ukulele in C tuning, the authors also address how the baritone uke, ukulele-banjo, and tiple can be used with this book.

Hi, New uke player here! DO you have mp3’s of the above lesson to see how the whole thing sounds. Thanks!
Chad,
I don’t actually have an mp3 of this particular arrangement. This Mel Bay book was produced many years before we starting including CDs with books. It is a very famous melody and there are many examples of it on the web. If anyone would like to record it and send it to me, perhaps I can put it on the site. Email me here: steve(at)melbay.com
