Jolly Roger Ukulele Book 2: "Tuff"-er Uke
You did complete everything in Book 1 first, right? If you didn't play everything, go back to Book 1. You need those basic techniques to play these songs properly.
The songs on this page are much more interesting and much more difficult and should give you plenty of free practice at a high level before you make the decision to join the website as a paying member. Videos for all of these songs are buried on the video archives page and you can find those by searching for the name of the song.
Book 2 Tracker: I will update this soon.
Important Note! This website had an epic crash (not my fault!) so I've deleted all the broken links and I'll be replacing them as soon as possible. Please let me know at garyjugert@yahoo.com if you need something sooner and I will email it to you.
Ukulele with an Asian Persuasion:
Asia covers roughly a third of Earth's surface ... so we oughta be able to find a few decent tunes, eh? Lots more is on the way for this section. Let me know if you have a tune you love from anywhere in Asia and I'll take a look at arranging it for ukulele.
