Just a quick FYI about the Pekelo series book 1.
I just received a used copy of Book 1 from another UU member and I have to say that I am very impressed with the wealth of information in the first section of the book.
Although I have worked through other books and knew most of the information, it was nice to see an "all the things a uke should know" put into the front of this book.
I would highly recommend this book to a beginner wanting to learn a 'proper technique' (whatever that means) or an intermediate player with a desire to improve their finger-style abilities.
One of the first books I bought was "Learn to Play Fingerstyle Solos for Ukulele" but it was a bit too advanced for a novice like me. Although I think I can revisit that book once I finish Pekelo Book 1.
If you are a more advanced player then I think Book 2 would be a nice start. I became aware of this book series from a more advanced player who was working through book 2 and suggested I start with Book 1.
Perhaps others can share their experience with the Pekelo series as well.
Thanks for reading.

Edit: This book is for Low G tuning but can be played with high G just be aware that the CD will sound different. Thanks to JustinJ for the info.
